Palm Beach International Airport operates with a centralized terminal serving multiple concourses, creating a more compact facility than the sprawling multi-terminal complexes at Miami or Orlando. The airport serves a mix of leisure travelers heading to Palm Beach resorts, business traffic accessing West Palm Beach’s growing corporate sector, and seasonal visitors who maintain second homes in the area. Major carriers including JetBlue, Delta, American, United, and Southwest operate from the terminal, with additional service from low-cost carriers and some international routes to the Caribbean and Canada.
BBF Transportation operates private transfers dedicated to your party, with vehicle selection matching group size and luggage requirements. The distance between Palm Beach and Orlando requires planning around drive time and coordination for extended journeys. Drive time between PBI and Orlando destinations typically runs 2.5 to 3 hours depending on specific origin and destination points. The primary route follows Florida’s Turnpike westbound from the Palm Beach area, passing through agricultural regions of Central Florida before reaching Orlando-area exits. Alternative routing via I-95 south to connections with east-west corridors serves specific destination needs, particularly when traveling to eastern Orlando suburbs or coastal destinations.
Route planning accounts for the distance and traffic variables between Palm Beach County and Orlando. Early morning departures from Orlando to catch Palm Beach flights require pickup times that account for the 2.5-hour minimum drive plus the two-hour pre-flight arrival recommendation, meaning pickups often occur four to five hours before scheduled departure. Return trips from Palm Beach to Orlando destinations benefit from flight monitoring that tracks actual landing times and adjusts driver dispatch schedules for the distance coordination. Traffic congestion concentrates around West Palm Beach’s urban core and Orlando’s theme park corridor, with generally lighter traffic on the Turnpike corridor between the metropolitan areas except during weekend recreational travel and seasonal peak periods.
Service area coverage from Palm Beach extends throughout the county and across Florida to Orlando, Tampa, Miami, and other destinations. Local Palm Beach County coverage includes West Palm Beach downtown district, Palm Beach island estates, Jupiter coastal communities, Boca Raton luxury developments, Delray Beach resort areas, Wellington equestrian community, Lake Worth neighborhoods, and throughout Palm Beach County. The statewide network connects Palm Beach Airport to Orlando attractions, Tampa business centers, Miami international connections, Fort Lauderdale cruise ports, and destinations throughout Florida. This multi-airport coverage accommodates travelers who choose Palm Beach based on proximity to northern South Florida destinations, specific flight availability, or seasonal residence locations in the Palm Beach area.

How does Palm Beach Airport compare to Fort Lauderdale and Miami airports?
Palm Beach International Airport operates as a smaller, more manageable facility compared to the larger Fort Lauderdale and Miami airports.

What happens if my flight into Palm Beach is delayed?
BBF Transportation monitors your flight status from booking through arrival. When delays occur, driver dispatch timing adjusts automatically to match your actual landing time.
