Want to save money when you travel? Try flying in or out of an alternate airport. For example, rather than flying into (or out of) Miami when going to South Florida, check out Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) — it’s 25 miles north and usually much cheaper. You can also check out West Palm Beach, which is another 49 miles away. To help you with all the major U.S. alternative airports (by actual driving miles), I created this website.
KEY: The 3 letter capital letters are airport codes, and the number in the parentheses are the actual road mile distances to that airport.
