Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL) is a convenient launchpad for South Florida sunshine. Serving the greater Miami area alongside Miami International Airport, it puts travelers within easy reach of Fort Lauderdale beaches, Hollywood, Miami, and cruise departures from Port Everglades.
Airport Location
FLL is in Dania Beach, about three miles (5 km) southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale and 21 miles (34 km) north of Miami. Its location is especially handy for Broward County stays, and the airport sits close to major roads connecting the coast and the wider metropolitan area.
Airlines and Destinations
A broad mix of domestic and international carriers serves FLL, with routes across the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Spirit and JetBlue have traditionally maintained a strong presence, while Southwest, Delta, American, United, Frontier, Allegiant, Silver Airways, and other airlines also operate service here. Airlines and routes can change seasonally, so confirm your terminal and flight details directly with your carrier before leaving for the airport.
Parking Options
Travelers can choose from parking close to the terminals or options designed for longer stays. Airport garages provide a practical choice when convenience matters, while economy or remote parking can be useful for extended trips. Shuttle service may connect outlying parking areas with the terminals.
- Terminal parking: Multi-level garages are positioned near the airport terminals for relatively quick access.
- Longer-stay parking: Economy and remote options may offer a better fit when you will be away for several days.
- Plan ahead: Availability, lot names, shuttle operations, and rates can change, particularly during holidays and cruise season.
Getting To and From FLL
Ground transportation includes taxis, ride-share services, hotel shuttles, public buses, and rental cars. Tri-Rail connects the region with stops serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach; passengers should check the current airport-station transfer arrangement before traveling. If you are heading to a cruise, leave extra time for traffic around Port Everglades on busy embarkation days.
Accessibility
FLL provides accessible restrooms, designated parking, visual and auditory aids, and transportation options for passengers with disabilities. Wheelchair assistance is generally coordinated through individual airlines, so requesting it before travel can make arrival smoother. Service-animal relief areas are available in designated locations, including areas on both sides of security.
A Smooth Start to South Florida
Check the airport’s official information shortly before your trip for current parking availability, security guidance, construction updates, and terminal assignments. With a little planning, FLL makes it easy to step off the plane and get straight to the beaches, waterways, dining, and tropical energy that make this corner of Florida so much fun.
