About this route
Chicago to Phoenix flights
Chicago to Phoenix is a major snowbird and business route, especially popular from November through April when Midwesterners flee to Arizona's warm winters. American Airlines' PHX hub and United's ORD hub create direct competition, keeping service frequency high.
Arizona's unique relationship with daylight saving time — it doesn't observe it — means the timezone gap with Chicago shifts between 1 and 2 hours depending on the season. This catches travelers off guard and makes real-time landing alerts even more valuable for coordinating ground transportation.
