๐บ๐ธ West Palm Beach, United States of America
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) operates through a single, efficiently designed terminal complex divided into three levels and three distinct concourses: A, B, and C. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and ease of navigation, the facility serves as a primary international gateway for South Florida. Level 1 handles all arrivals and baggage claim, Level 2 houses security and all departure gates, and Level 3 is dedicated to airline ticketing and check-in services.
The terminal infrastructure provides a variety of unique amenities, including an 8-hole indoor putting green on Level 2 and multiple pet relief areas both inside and outside the building. Travelers have access to the premium Escape Lounge on Level 2 and a Delta Sky Club in Concourse C, alongside numerous dining options like Sam Snead's and Rooney's Public House. A major multi-year culinary overhaul is currently underway to introduce local favorites like Rocco's Tacos and Pistache French Bistro.
Ground transportation is well-supported by on-site car rental counters on Level 1 and dedicated ranks for taxis and shuttles. Public transit via Palm Tran bus route #44 connects the terminal to the West Palm Beach Intermodal Center for access to Tri-Rail and Brightline services. The airport also features a unique Travel Plaza located on Belvedere Road, which offers a free cell phone waiting lot, a 24-hour convenience store, and EV charging stations for arriving passengers.

A unique tip: the airport provides a FREE shuttle service from the terminal to the West Palm Beach Tri-Rail station for easy links to Miami and Fort Lauderdale Taxis and rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have designated pickup zones outside baggage claim.
