The airport is less than 15 minutes from Port Everglades. Traffic in that area no matter what day of the week should not be too heavy as their are no office buildings near the port or the airport. If its a Saturday or Sunday should be no traffic. I am leaving on a flight to LA on the 18th that leaves at 7;30 am which is a Friday and I am not even leaving my home in Pompano Beach which is basically Ft. Lauderdale until 5;30 am
