text: While riding the moving walkway I wondered why Sky Harbor was built in such a way that it is always a far walk from gate to gate Maybe there was not a lot of land to make longer rows of gates or they could not use a curved or circular system instead of wing after wing after wing of gatesnnI landed in A Terminal and did the math in my head on board that there were maybe gates between where I landed to where I was leaving from but it turned out to be in a whole different wing which was probably to minutes away via two moving walkways and a pretty good walk down two corridors of gatesnnOnce you arrive at your gate there are few chairs and fewer outlets to recharge your phone or iPod Some of the gates are jammed together so it is hard to tell which gate is which and which flight is departing It is the usual set of shops with some newer food choices none of which have so far been outstanding Even the club closes relatively earlynnSo I always dread changing planes in Phoenix unless I check all my bags and have a very small carryon and have plenty of time to get from gate to gate and then my flight leaves almost right away My vision of hell is being loaded down with bags and trying to change planes in Phoenix with little time to spare and then once getting to the gate discovering my flight has been delayed something to which anyone who has flown through Sky Harbor can certainly relate
