Planning a winter trip to Key West? Getting here is easier than you might think. Eight airlines now serve Key West International Airport (EYW) with nonstop flights from cities across the East Coast, Midwest, and Florida, many of them new or expanded for the 2026 season. Whether you're arriving for a quick getaway, a long weekend, or a much-needed escape, it's a short ride from the runway to the Historic Seaport, where harbor views, adventures at sea, and the best restaurants and iconic bars are steps away. Here's everything you need to know about flying to Key West this winter.

Winter 2026 at a Glance

Key West International Airport is currently served by eight airlines: American, Delta, United, JetBlue, Spirit, Allegiant, Breeze, and Avelo. Together, they offer a mix of year-round and seasonal nonstop flights from major hubs across the East Coast, Midwest, and Florida. With expanded winter schedules, planning a quick tropical getaway with minimal connections has never been more convenient.


Newer & Seasonal Routes

Several newer routes that launched late last year are now in full swing for the Winter 2026 season:

  • Breeze Airways: Nonstop service from Raleigh–Durham (RDU) is active for winter, joining their Florida “commuter” routes from Tampa (TPA) and Orlando (MCO). Travelers can also take advantage of BreezeThru options via Akron–Canton (CAK), where you stay on the same plane during a brief stop.
  • Avelo Airlines: The nonstop route from Tweed–New Haven (HVN) operates twice weekly (Wednesdays and Saturdays) through the winter, offering a stress-free gateway for travelers from Connecticut and the broader Tri-State area.
  • JetBlue: Seasonal winter service is officially back, featuring nonstop flights from both Boston (BOS) and New York (JFK).
  • Allegiant Air: Winter service includes St. Pete–Clearwater (PIE), Asheville (AVL), Indianapolis (IND), Sanford (SFB), Cincinnati (CVG), Pittsburgh (PIT), and Knoxville (TYS).
    • Note: Allegiant’s Columbus (LCK) route is scheduled to begin May 21, 2026, making it a perfect option for late-spring and summer travel.

Once you land, you are officially on island time, and getting to your final destination is quick and easy. The Marker Key West Harbor Resort, named the No. 2 Resort in the Florida Keys, is located in the heart of the Historic Seaport, approximately 3.5 miles from the airport, a 10–15-minute ride.

Transportation Options: On-site rental cars are located in the arrival area, while Uber, Lyft, and traditional taxis are available immediately outside the terminal.

With more nonstop options than ever before, the hardest part of your Winter 2026 trip will be deciding which pool to lounge by first or what cocktail you’ll be having when you arrive. #lovethemarker
