Flights from San Jose to Phoenix (SJC to PHX)

Phoenix is the capital and most populous city of the US state of Arizona. It is the most important city in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The city has evolved on the world map as ancient Native American community who made its scorched land arable by spewing a system of irrigation canals before deserting it in mid-15^th century. Phoenix then became a site of numerous gruesome battles in the Civil War. Phoenix as a name was suggested by Lord Darrell Duppa, who was one of the earliest settlers in the city after the Civil War, to indicate a city born from the ruins of a former civilization. Phoenix boasts a potpourri of tourist attractions and is especially excellent to visit for history buffs.
