Fort Lauderdale Hollywood FLL Airport Overview
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.
With 2 long runways and an estimated 20 million passengers a year, 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.
NOTE: 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. Nearby Port Everglades is the second-largest cruise ship port in the world, and locals warn that security and baggage lines at the airport can be especially long on Fridays and Saturdays when cruise ship passengers are arriving and departing.
