Fort Lauderdale is a sunny beach city on Florida's Atlantic coast, north of Miami, famous for its golden sand, palm-lined boulevards and a network of canals that has earned it the nickname the Venice of America. Neighbouring Hollywood, Florida, shares the same airport and offers its own relaxed beachfront promenade. Together they make a laid-back base for beaches, boating, cruises and trips into the Everglades. Searching flights to Fort Lauderdale on Traveloka lets you compare routes from Changi, follow the fare trends and keep your e-tickets in the app.

About Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)

Location

Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport sits in Broward County, between downtown Fort Lauderdale, Dania Beach and Hollywood. It is close to both the beaches and Port Everglades, one of the busiest cruise ports in the world, which makes it a favourite for cruise passengers.

Terminals

The airport has four passenger terminals arranged around a loop road, with a free shuttle bus connecting them. Your terminal depends on the airline you fly with, so check your e-ticket, and allow extra time if you need to switch terminals for a connection.

Getting to and from the airport

Taxis and ride-hailing services are the easiest way to reach downtown, the beaches or Hollywood. A shuttle links the terminals with a Tri-Rail commuter train station for travel along the coast towards Miami and West Palm Beach, and county buses also serve the airport. Many visitors hire a car from the consolidated rental car centre, since Florida is easiest to explore by road.

Direct and connecting flights to Fort Lauderdale

There are no nonstop flights from Singapore to Fort Lauderdale, so journeys typically connect in Asia, the Middle East, Europe or a major US hub. Traveloka lets you compare total travel time, stopover airports and layover lengths side by side. Anyone looking for non stop flights to Fort Lauderdale from within the United States can use the direct filter on a US leg of the trip.

Miami International Airport, a short drive south, and Palm Beach International, to the north, are useful alternatives. Comparing all three can give you more choice of fares and timings, especially around cruise departures or school holidays.

When to fly to Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Fort Lauderdale has a tropical climate that will feel familiar to Singaporeans. Winter and spring are the dry season, sunny and warm with lower humidity, and are the peak time for visitors escaping colder parts of the United States and Canada. Summer and early autumn are hot, humid and rainy, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs from early summer through late autumn.

For Singapore travellers, the December school holidays coincide with Fort Lauderdale's high season, so fares and accommodation can be in demand. The June school holidays fall in the quieter, wetter season, often with more availability. Spring break also brings crowds to the beaches.
