We are thinking of planning a trip to Az to see the grand canyon , which airport would be best to Land at?We we want to see the general area of Tuson & Sedona also , is this within the area or to far a distance for a short trip of 4 days?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Let's start with the first question. The closest airport to both Sedona and the Grand Canyon would be Flagstaff airport. It is a small airport so you would probably take a flight into Phoenix and change planes to a smaller aircraft to get up there. Flagstaff is about 1.5 hours from the Canyon and maybe 1 hour from Sedona. You could see both of those places easily in 4 days.

Tucson is pretty far south. If you want to see Tucson (and it is worth it!) you would have about a 2.5 hour drive FROM PHOENIX. If you fly into Flagstaff, however, you are talking about maybe 5 hours to Tucson city limits. A long trip by car and you have a limited amount of time. With only 4 days total you may wish to simply see the Flagstaff area, the Grand Canyon (which is worth staying overnight to see the sunset/sunrise if nothing else) and explore the Sedona area. You won't feel short-changed, truly. Come back some other time to see the Tucson area. It is large and there is much to see there. Easily enough to make it a vacation all by itself.
