Local Tips

  • Palm Tran bus 44 runs between PBI and downtown West Palm Beach every 30-60 minutes.
  • Tri-Rail station is a short shuttle from PBI — connects to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
  • Surge spikes brutally during snowbird season (Dec-Apr) and major Mar-a-Lago / Palm Beach social-season events.
  • Rideshare pickup is on the lower level outside baggage claim — Uber/Lyft both operate.
  • PBI rideshare wait jumps when several flights land at once — give it 5-10 minutes after landing for the surge to ease before requesting.
