The trick is most people stop for a bite or drink farther back, but on the terminal walk for maybe the 3rd time, I got a gate wih Blu20 right in front of our wait area. My gal beat me there and had a drink ready for me. Its a great spot, as its right in the middle of the rotunda, and steps from 4 different gates. We were able to sit there and work on computers while keeping an eye on what was happening for our take off. I should add, service was great and the drinks as well. The bartender was quick with a drink and the check. I'm not sure they have food but you could eat your food at their counter, others were. It wasn't the first time at Blu20, but hopefully it wont be the last either.

I got a chili melon margarita and it was nothing to write home to mom about. It was pretty spicy as they had to supplement the chili lime salt with something else. It was around $18.

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.

TRUMP PEDO AIRPORT…read more If your goal is to experience what happens when organization takes an extended vacation, this is the airport for you. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by confusion, disorder, and a level of cleanliness that suggests housekeeping is more of a suggestion than a job. Nothing seems to flow the way an airport should. It's almost impressive how such a simple concept--moving passengers efficiently--can be turned into such a disorganized production. One thing that stood out was the number of adults lingering around the children's restroom area. Maybe there was a perfectly innocent explanation, but seeing it happen repeatedly wasn't exactly reassuring. It would be nice if someone whose job it is to monitor the airport actually... monitored the airport. The staff seemed to have mastered the art of looking busy while accomplishing very little. Customer service felt optional, accountability appeared mythical, and professionalism was nowhere to be found. Congratulations to whoever is running this place. Turning an airport into what feels like a DMV, bus station, and abandoned warehouse all rolled into one is quite an achievement. I'll gladly pay extra to fly somewhere else next time. TRUMP IS A PEDOPHILE

Clean, organized, and somehow still calm even when the terminal outside sounds like a Black Friday sale with airplanes. It's the kind of place where you grab a seat, take a deep breath, and briefly consider forgiving the TSA for everything. The staff deserves a nod here. Always kind, always patient, and somehow still helpful even when the place is filling up like a lifeboat in a movie. You get the sense they've seen it all and decided to stay nice anyway. Somewhere between your second snack plate and that "just one more" drink, you realize this is less an airport lounge and more a temporary personality upgrade. Only knock is the crowding. No matter how many times they expand it, it fills up fast. Like, blink-and-it's-full fast. Apparently everyone else had the same brilliant idea you did. Still, for Fort Lauderdale, this is about as good as it gets. Four stars and a solid pre-flight sanity saver.
