Airports: Each airport is about 30-40 minutes from the hotel. Fort Lauderdale is smaller and easier to navigate but might not have a direct route. Miami has more options for direct routes but is larger and in some cases requires walking long distances from the gate to baggage claim. Check both airports for the best deal.
