We are creating a series of “things to do” at each airport. This is to help you use your layover as wisely as possible. We can’t always help that we are held up at an airport but if we can take advantage of the time we have there, then we hope you find the following suggestions useful:Don’t forget how flexible your membership to theSanctiflygym, swimming or spa is. You can use it for an hour or more to suit the time you have available. You can get single use membership or come onboard for full corporate membership for your business.1. ART MUSEUMTake a break from the surroundings and visit theart museumslocated within Terminals 2, 3 and 4. They contain art, photos, artefacts and some historical stories of the area. The exhibits change regularly and the art must come from Arizona, and somehow reflect that, or aviation in some way. There are also wall posters telling you where to find the art, a brochures, and a map.
