The Escape Lounge is small and waits can be long. When departing, use Clear and TSAPreCheck - much faster than just TSAPreCheck. This airport has clearly marked signs and the rideshare area is organized. It's across from baggage in the garage so you've not exposed in the elements and it looks easy for the drivers to get in and out. Plus they can pull into a stall vs having to pull up to a curb. It's a more pleasant experience overall for everyone.

A flight out of Palm beach is a win. When we plan a trip…read morewe always check the 3 big airports in South Florida. We rarely make it down to Miami for a flight, but West Palm is usually worth going north to that airport for a flight. We planned a weekend trip to New York last month and with a bit cross checking, Palm Beach International Airport had the best flight based on flight time and cost. It is nice to be able to just walk into a airport that's not crazy at all. within minutes after walking in we are almost always gateside. They have a quick TSA area, and once by the gate there is always spot to grab a bite or drink. This last trip there was a open space bar in the middle of the rotunda where we could see our gate and about four others, so it was easy to time our check grab and getting in line for our flight. We generally fly out of Fort Lauderdale, but when its close to a tie which to go with, we got Palm Beach.

Flying home, my flight was delayed but there were plenty of places to sit and I was able to use my laptop and charge my phones. There were places to eat and drink, as well as newsstands for snacks and sundries. Not a ton of options, but plenty if you're there for just a brief time. I can't fault it. If visiting Florida is your thing, this is a good gateway.

The TSA staff in particular have consistently come across as rude, short-tempered, and completely uninterested in basic customer service. On this trip, one agent gave me unnecessary attitude and I genuinely found myself wondering -- why are you so angry? If interacting with people makes you this unhappy, maybe customer-facing work isn't the best fit. And honestly, this experience feels reflective of Miami overall for me -- the energy often feels tense, impatient, and unnecessarily entitled. Travel is already stressful enough without being treated poorly for simply existing in the space. I'll do everything I can to avoid flying through this airport again.

I have been to fly out of here for brief flights typically taken by tourists over the beach. I had a few relatives that enjoyed adventurous activities. Once I was taken up in a helicopter. These kinds of experience are fine but I don't typically want to repeat them. I also have an Uncle that took lessons here and got his pilots license. Naturally I had to go for a fight with him. They did a lot of pilot training at North Perry. If I was so inclined and still lived nearby I would contact them. It's just an all around convenient airport to this area.

The airport itself is geared towards business & military. Besides the Coast Guard Air Station, there are at least 3 private aviation terminals - the FBO's Drake refers to in his magnum opus "Sicko Mode" (translation: terminals for private jets.) I also vaguely remember having been to an air show here back in 1988 when I was yay tall. Back to the present day, the Miami Dade Aviation Department hosted one of their "Runway 5K / 10K races " on one of the runways. I ran the 10K, keeping a 10:20 minute/mile pace. The race was run on the concrete runways and taxiways (the two loops). This was a perfectly smooth surface to run. There were various water stations along the course. A few things could have been improved. I saw pictures of last year's race and they had a few displays that let people get closer to the planes for photo opps. That would have been fun! Likewise, the post-race snack area was broken down between 5K and 10K. Even at the the 10K area, we were limited to just two items and they didn't have bananas (great for recovery.)

After the United States entered into WWII, the airport became part of the Boca Raton Army in 1942 where it played a crucial role in training Army Air Corps in radar technology. After the war the Boca Raton Airport opened after the United States government transferred the property to the City of Boca Raton. Celebrating the storied history of this airfield a new airport observation area was dedicated on January 28, 2025. The area has a shade cover, landscaping and benches giving you an unobstructed 360 degree view of the planes taking off and landing at the airport. Interpretative signs give information about the local wildlife, history of the airport, navigation equipment, and the types of planes you will see. As you watch the planes you can even hear the instructions from the air traffic control tower. Watching the planes take off so close to you is thrilling. Anyone who has an interest in aviation will enjoy visiting this unique park. While the planes may be the star attraction the wildlife is also not to be missed. If you are lucky you will see burrowing owls and gopher tortoises. Burrowing owls are considered endangered, threatened, or of special concern in nine U.S. states. Unlike other owls they are not strictly nocturnal and are active during the day. They make their nests in underground burrows, which are dug out by ground squirrels and they prefer open grasslands. Burrowing owls are protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Gopher tortoises are listed as a threatened species in Florida. They have been hunted for meat, run over by vehicles, and sold as pets but the greatest blow to their population has been the destruction of their habitat. I'm glad I got to see them safely protected here. It was nice to see people of all ages taking delight in the planes and wildlife. The Boca Raton Airport Authority (BRAA) did an amazing job. There is so much room for parking or ride your bike in and leave it in one of the racks. Pack a picnic and stay for awhile. This is such a cool spot for free fun in Boca Raton.

The Fort Lauderdale Int. Airport is one of my favorites to fly in and out of. On a recent vacation,…read moreI found this airport very easy to navigate from the parking garage to the gates. The garage parking is reasonably priced for long term parking and when crowded, the cement walkway from the garage is very easy to navigate by following the painted lines on the ground. Once inside the building terminal, the signage is very good and it is comfortable from the carpeted floors to the temperature of the a/c. There is the option of TSA, TSA-PRE, and, CLEAR lines to get through security. Once on the "other side", there are some private airline clubs, public sitting areas, and plenty of restaurants and bars to wait for the flight. Upon arrival, the directions are very clear on where to go for baggage claim, parking garage, and ride sharing locations. Exiting the airport is a little confusing as the lanes merge and drop off pretty quickly and the signage can come up very quickly for the east bound exit and the ramps for I595 westbound. To me this is an average sized airport that has convenient domestic and International flights.

For an airport this big, it doesn't overwhelm you like many large airports. It was easy to navigate, easy to give baggage claim and easy to meet my brother in law who was picking us up. The baggage claim area was spacious and not overly crowded, the concourse was wide and the signage was clear. Great arrival experience.
