chriscec2012 Posted November 20, 2023 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Just wondering of experiences flying in and out of PBI to/from a Ft Lauderdale cruise? PBI has lower priced flights and better times but wasn’t sure of transportation. Uber/Lyft the best option or any shuttles available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted November 20, 2023 #2 Share Posted November 20, 2023 There are few/if any shared shuttles to/from PBI and Port Everglades. PBI is a small, easily navigable airport with few amenities- don't expect much in the way of food/entertainment. Do allocate sufficient time for transfers. I'd block about an hour for road time.

pedirn Posted November 20, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 20, 2023 PBG is my home airport. Try Captains Airport Seaport Car Service. 561 789 2180. They are our go to service to the airport and cruise ports. There is also Brightline and Tr Rail. Can’t speak from experience as I am not one to try and manage luggage of and on train. Tri Rail is less money than Brightline. Both will require transfer via taxi, uber, lyft from train station to airport 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted November 21, 2023 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2023 PBG is the airport code for Plattsburgh. New York. PBI is the code for West Palm Beach International Zirport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locksley10 Posted December 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Tri Rail could be a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flymia Posted December 6, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 6, 2023 It is doable. Only negatives are less flights to PBI if there is an issue with your flight. As always fly in the day before! Rideshare should be fine, or private car. Not sure how much a Palm Beach taxi would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriscec2012 Posted December 16, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Is it easy to get a ride share when disembarking after a cruise in port Everglades. We’ve cruised from Canaveral many times and there were very few ride shares available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOPMan Posted December 16, 2023 #9 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Getting an Uber or Lyft driver for port Everglades to the Fort Lauderdale airport is almost never an issue. You may have a little more of an issue in getting a driver interested in going to PBI. FLL is 10 minutes from Port Everglades. A driver can make multiple circuits, potentially taking new passengers from the airport to the cruise port for the "next" cruise. PBI is about an hour's drive from Port Everglades. There are comparatively few passengers wanting rides from PBI to Port Everglades, and PBI is nowhere near as busy as FLL, so it may be more challenging for the driver to get their next ride.

Yea that’s kinda what I thought, was hoping for some good news for PBI because I can get home much quicker than flying out of FLL but sounds like that just makes sense.
