Fort Lauderdale Hollywood (FLL) Airport

Fort Lauderdale International Airport FLL, only 10 minutes from the beach or the golf greens on southeastern Florida’s Gold Coast, is gateway to 'fun in the sun' for vacationers from far & near, and the first stop on their way to boarding one of the many cruise ships at Port Everglades.

The Airport is located close to both cities of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, on Florida's East coast, and is within easy access to major highways I-95, I-75, I-595, U.S. 1 and Florida's Turnpike, taking you  to destinations in South and Central Florida and all that it offers. NOTE, however, that traffic pattern has shifted due to the South Runway Expansion Project - electronic and static signs are in place to direct drivers. For more information call 954-359--6116 or e-mail gmeyer@broward.org.

Arriving / Departing  FLL by car until summer 2013 - all northbound lanes on US 1 turning into Port Everglades are being redirected north on US 1, then left on SE 30th Street to SE 6th Av., then south to the Eler Drive extension. The exit lane out of the Airport to Everglades will be directed North on US 1, then left onn S 30th St. to SE 6th Av., then South to the Eller Drive extension.  The detour will impact traffic east & west-bound on I-595 into, or from Port Everglades. 

With 2 long runways and nearly 23.5 million passengers in 2012, the Airport is serviced by most major U.S. and international airlines providing nonstop service to countless destinations in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean and Central and South America, with connections worldwide. 
JetBlue offers fights to Colombia, and to Costa Rica.

NOTE: 1. To make your flight on time, you should arrive at the Airport two hours prior to scheduled domestic, and three hours for scheduled international flights.

2. South entrance to the Airport at intersection of Griffin / Perimeter Roads will be closed until late 2014 - take access to west side of airport through Ravenswood Rd & Lee Wagener Blvd.
