RSW-PBI or MCO-PBI

[stefa]

We will be visiting West Palm Beach next summer. We are considering flying in or out of either RSW or MCO depending on cost. (FLL and MIA seem to be more money and there are no nonstops into PBI). We are a party of five, so even $25/ticket is a savings.

Can someone give me an idea of how long/slow the drive would be between RSW/MCO and West Palm? Which would be the better option? Also is one airport 'better' than the other?

Thanks

You'll have lots more options flying into MCO, plus the drive is a little shorter - and the drive from RSW is rather boring going along Alligator Alley (I-75).

Sometimes you can get decent fares into FLL if you aren't in a hurry to book right now.

Thanks for the information. We are not in a hurry, I just want to be ready if I see any cheap fares.
