FLL at a glance
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood is a compact airport with four color-coded terminals, and it is popular with leisure travelers heading to the Caribbean and to cruise ships at Port Everglades.
The biggest thing to know is that the terminals do not all connect after security. Only some terminal pairs are linked airside, so plan any change of terminal before you leave the gate area.
Main airlines: JetBlue is a focus city here, and Southwest is a major carrier in Terminal 1. Spirit, Delta, United and many other airlines also serve the airport, with service to the Caribbean and Latin America.

Late departures by month
Terminals
Terminal 2
Used by Delta and other airlines. The Delta Sky Club is located here.
Terminal 3
Used by JetBlue and many other carriers, and it is the terminal where most international flights depart. The Escape Lounge is located here.
Terminal 4
Serves Spirit and some other carriers. It is reached by a pedestrian bridge from Terminal 3 after security, and by shuttle bus.
Moving between terminals
After security, Terminals 3 and 4 are linked by a pedestrian bridge, and a free airside shuttle bus runs between the terminals every few minutes. There is no secure connection between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, so moving between them usually means leaving security and going through it again. Landside, the free Sunshine Shuttle links Terminals 1, 2 and 3.

Tips for FLL
- Security is busiest from about 6 to 9 a.m. and from 4 to 7 p.m. Midday flights usually have the shortest queues.
- If you change terminals after security, allow 20 to 30 minutes for the shuttle, and plan for a new security check if you move between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.
- If you are on a cruise, check which terminal your port uses; Port Everglades is only about two miles away, and cruise days bring heavy traffic to the airport.
- Hurricane season runs from June to November, and summer afternoon thunderstorms are a frequent cause of delay.
