Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport

Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, U.S.

Why go

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (IATA: FLL, ICAO: KFLL, FAA LID: FLL) is a major public airport located in unincorporated Broward County, Florida, United States, roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale and 21 miles (34 km) north of Miami. The second busiest of the Miami metropolitan area's commercial airports, it is located off I-595, I-95, Highway 1, SR A1A, and SR 5, and is bounded by the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach.

With over 700 daily flights to 135 domestic and international destinations, the airport has become an intercontinental gateway since the late 1990s, although Miami International Airport still handles most long-haul flights in and out of South Florida. It serves as a primary airport for the Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood areas, and a secondary airport for parts of Miami and areas north of West Palm Beach. The airport is a base for Allegiant Air and JetBlue. It is also the primary South Florida airport for Southwest Airlines. Spirit Airlines had its primary hub at FLL prior to May 2026, when the airline ceased operations.
