5. Miami (Miami International Airport)
A focus hub for American Airlines, a base point for connecting long-haulers to destinations right across the globe, and one of the few ports capable of hosting the gargantuan Airbus A380 jets, Miami International remains one seriously big player on the U.S. aviation scene. For travelers looking to get down to the warmth of Florida this year, it's also a relatively cheap option compared with a number of other arrival points in the region, boasting an average ticket price of just $222 for all domestic flights touching down on its runways.
4. Orlando (Orlando International Airport)
Hopper's statistics have shown that upwards of a whopping 4.3 million people are currently searching for flight connections into the runways of Orlando International each month, making this one unquestionably one of the most popular gateways to the Sunshine State as a whole. And why not? The Magic Kingdom beckons with its unbridled fun, Universal Studios awaits with the enchanting Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and the airport is one of the cheapest for arrivals in the region too, boasting an average flight price of just $218 round trip!
3. West Palm Beach (Palm Beach International Airport)
Hosting a modest five million passengers and 153,000 takeoffs and landings every year, this gateway to the shimmering Atlantic sands that burst with jet setter homes, well-to-do mansions and swaying palm trees midway down Florida's east coast is certainly not the largest airport in the region. It is, however, the joint-second cheapest arrival point for travelers hitting the Sunshine State, with average ticket prices on routes into town coming in at around just $213 round trip!
2. Tampa (Tampa International Airport)
With the acclaimed Lowry Park Zoo, Busch Gardens and some heart-thumping NFL games courtesy of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the lineup of attractions in Tampa, travelers will want to save as many dollars as possible on their journeys into town. That's why it's particularly helpful that the city's international airport in Hillsborough County is the joint-second cheapest gateway to the Sunshine State overall—touting average flight prices in the region of just $213 round trip.
1. Fort Lauderdale (Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport)
Handling upwards of 20 million passengers per year and currently enjoying arrivals from every corner of the United States, oodles of Caribbean Islands, countless Canadian cities and plenty of far-flung destinations in Europe, Asia and South America, the Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport remains one of the largest in the Sunshine State. But the superlatives don't stop there either, because Hopper's stats have also revealed that this one is the cheapest arrival point in Florida overall, touting an average flight price of just $203 round trip!
