Looking to take a well deserved vacation and catch some fun and sun? If you plan to fly, check-out the Key West International Airport, a 255-acre facility located on the southeast corner of the island – just a short distance from the quaint Key West bed & breakfast the Tropical Inn.

Key West International Airport’s (EYW) origins date back to 1913 when Augustin Parla flew a bi-wing plane to Muriel, Cuba. Commercial service began in the 1920’s…but due to the shortness of the runway, weight restrictions are enforced on aircraft and passengers.

Four major airlines serve the Key West International Airport (EYW) with service to major hubs like Atlanta, Charlotte and Miami. You can fly to Key West from anywhere in the world through Delta, Continental, American and US Airways.

There are also charter flights available to the Dry Tortugas National Monument and a company called Yellow Taxi provides daily charter flights to Naples and Key West.

If you have a family or are looking for a less expensive option, Miami International Airport is the closest major airport – nearly all airlines serve this major air travel facility in south Florida, about 160 miles from Key West.

However you choose to get to the Tropical Inn, be careful so you can fully enjoy your visit to America’s Carribbean.
