Transportation

A few tips on getting to and getting around Key West.

  • Be sure to fly directly into Key West (EYW). Some airlines show Miami as the Key West airport. Most major airlines fly directly into Key West.

  • There is a new airport in Key West. No more deplaning on the tarmac and walking into the terminal.

  • Flights can be cheap into Key West. Use flights.google.com to track prices.

  • You don’t need to rent a car if you fly directly into Key West. Ubers are cheap.

  • A very easy (and cheap) way to get from Ft. Lauderdale/Miami to Key West is to take a bus or airport shuttle. Friends like to use Greyhound.

  • Another option to getting to Key West is via ferry from Fort Meyers Beach.
