Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood
🇺🇸 Fort Lauderdale · KFLL
Spirit's headquarters and JetBlue stronghold serving Fort Lauderdale's cruise traffic. Pilots navigate the parallel runway system while coordinating with nearby Miami's airspace. Strong sea breezes create crosswind challenges, and the low-cost carrier mix means fast turnarounds and gate competition. Popular with crews for overnight stays near the beach.
