Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (IATA: FLL, ICAO: KFLL) is an airport located in Dania Beach,Florida between the cities of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood in Broward County, about 21 miles north of Miami. In 2005, the airport processed 22.39 million passengers; it is currently the fastest-growing airport in the United States. It is the 23rd-busiest airport (in terms of passenger traffic) in the United States, and ranks as one of the 50 busiest airports in the world.

The airport is a key base for Delta Air Lines and domestic low-cost carriers Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and JetBlue. The airport's close proximity to cruise line terminals at Port Everglades has also made it popular among tourists bound for the Caribbean. Since the late 1990s, FLL has emerged as an intercontinental gateway as well, especially for charter carriers,although Miami International Airport still handles most long-haul flights to and from South Florida.

There are four Terminals: Terminal 1 is the newest terminal, opening in stages from 2001-2003, and Terminals 2-4 opened in the 1980s. Terminal 4 is used for international flights.

  • New cell phone lot added November 2006. Follow signs, but it's easier to access coming east on Griffin Rd. Much easier airport to traverse than MIA.
