Ave Rides Local Pro Tips
- FLL checkpoints are terminal-specific — Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 rushes do not happen at the same time.
- Early-morning low-cost carrier departures create the longest lines of the day.
- Port Everglades cruise transfers share the same corridor; cruise turnaround Saturdays and Sundays are heavier.
