Reply To: Making FLL suck less
Our big secret: Aside from some crowds early on and the shitty food options, we didn’t really have an issue with FLL.
I mean, it’s fun to grouse about it, and it really DOES seem weird that they’re so crap at handling the cruise influxes (even though I realize they probably have little economic incentive to improve), but convenience trumps.
As Houstonians, our best flight was a nonstop on Southwest. Southwest is usually only in one airport in a given metro area, and in Miami it’s FLL, not MIA.
However, if we have as much time to kill next year (about 5 total hours, I think), we might see about getting our lunch somewhere else.
(Edit for Mike: Turns out MIA is pretty close (< an hour), but FLL has a lock on Southwest, which protects them.)
