It’s a hub for Spirit Airlines and Gulfstream International Airlines, though many other carriers operate there.

Beyond The Airport
There can’t be many better places to have a layover than Fort Lauderdale. If you have some time between flights, then here are some places you can visit while you wait.
- If you enjoy thrills and near spills, then ride on the Dania Beach Hurricane, a wooden roller coaster that is younger than it looks. Built in 2000, this coaster is part of Boomers. Check out the first photo on this page to see what it’s like.
- The International Fishing Hall of Fame is run by the International Game Fish Association, and even non-anglers will find something of interest here.
- TY (Topeekeegee Yugnee) Park is a great place to enjoy the outdoors. The 150 acre park includes a swimming pool, play areas and locations where you can sit and watch the world go by.
- Car buffs will enjoy the Antique Car Museum which has a range of vehicles from the early to mid 20th century, including a 1909 Packard Speedster and number of rare models.
