Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “When is the cheapest time to fly?”, “How far in advance should I book?”, “What's the cheapest day of the week to fly?” and “What do round-trip flights from Charlotte to Phoenix cost?” are built from the prices Priceline customers actually paid for flights on this route over the past 12 months or more.
Where a route has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from a group of routes with similar price behavior and fit it to the fares booked on this route.
Because past fares don’t reflect today’s market, we then adjust the historical prices for current conditions such as inflation and fuel costs, using the round-trip fares found in recent searches on this route.
The chart “When is the best time of day to fly?” is calculated directly from the fares found in recent searches, not from historical bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about flying from Charlotte to Phoenix.
What is the typical flight duration from Charlotte to Phoenix?
Charlotte to Phoenix is about 1,770 miles, and a typical nonstop flight takes 4 hours 31 minutes. The return leg from Phoenix to Charlotte runs about 4 hours 7 minutes, so the outbound flight is about 24 minutes longer.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.
Are there any direct flights from Charlotte to Phoenix?
American Airlines flies nonstop from Charlotte to Phoenix, with up to 56 weekly flights operating daily. There are eight daily departures, spaced from early morning through late evening.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.
What are the ground transportation options in Phoenix?
From Phoenix Sky Harbor, the fastest way downtown is a taxi or rideshare, with a flat $20 taxi rate to the city center and ride times of about 10–15 minutes. The most-used option is the free PHX Sky Train, which runs 24/7 and connects to Valley Metro Rail at 44th Street for cheap light-rail access to Phoenix, Tempe, and Mesa. Valley Metro bus routes 13 and 44 also stop at the 44th Street Sky Train station. Rental cars are available at a dedicated center reached by the Sky Train, and many hotels offer courtesy shuttles. For most travelers, the Sky Train plus light rail is the best balance of cost and convenience, while rideshare wins for speed and door-to-door ease.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Charlotte to Phoenix?

July is the most expensive month at about $396, and fares peak in late December at about $419. The yearly average is $374. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Seasonal fares come from Priceline's own air booking-summary archive, analysed in-house and refreshed monthly. For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve. Thin and international routes borrow their seasonal shape from the nearest busy routes, with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings.
How far in advance should I book tickets from Charlotte to Phoenix?
Book about 4 weeks before departure for the best fares from Charlotte to Phoenix, around $242. Booking in the final days before the flight costs about $268, $26 more. Booking six months ahead runs about $362. Fares are adjusted to current market conditions.
Methodology
Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare. Thin and international routes borrow the curve shape from the nearest busy routes, anchored to the route's own price level. It reflects current fares and is refreshed monthly.
Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Charlotte to Phoenix?
There are no nonstop red-eyes from Charlotte to Phoenix, but connecting overnight itineraries do operate, with the long leg flown by Southwest. These red-eye legs depart in the late-evening window around 22:10–22:55 and arrive just after midnight (00:10–00:45), connecting through Nashville, Chicago Midway, or Baltimore.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Methodology

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Charlotte to Phoenix?
American Airlines is currently the only airline scheduled nonstop on flights from Charlotte to Phoenix. It operates this route with Airbus A320 family aircraft and Airbus A321s.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
