Key West International Airport (EYW)

Key West International Airport operates a single terminal building serving this tropical island destination at the southernmost point of the continental United States. The terminal features check-in counters for American, Delta, and United with direct access to a TSA security checkpoint that typically processes passengers in 15-25 minutes during peak winter tourist season and 8-15 minutes during quieter summer months. Walking distance from check-in to the furthest gate is approximately 150 meters (3-5 minutes) in the compact island terminal. Security screening follows standard TSA procedures with a single checkpoint serving all gates. International flights to destinations like Havana, Cuba require additional screening and documentation checks. Immigration and customs facilities are available for international arrivals, though most traffic consists of domestic flights from major U.S. hubs. The compact terminal design enables efficient passenger flow between all gates within the single secure area. Terminal amenities include Shula's Bar & Grill offering Florida Keys cuisine, gift shops featuring Key West souvenirs and Hemingway memorabilia, car rental counters, and comfortable seating areas throughout. The Sunset Pier bar provides outdoor dining with aircraft viewing. Accessibility features include elevators, accessible parking, ramps throughout, accessible restrooms, and wheelchair assistance services. Family facilities include changing tables in restrooms, family restroom options, and stroller-friendly design throughout the tropical terminal, though no dedicated children's play areas exist in the compact facility serving this iconic island destination known for its sunset celebrations, fishing culture, and laid-back tropical atmosphere.
