Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)
The nearest airport to Jupiter is the Palm Beach International Airport (PBI). It is about a 25 minute drive,
mostly on I-95 (a major highway). I or someone on my behalf will certainly pick particpants up at PBI.
If you rent a car: From the aiport you follow the signs to I-95 North. Head north on I-95. The exit to the airport is Exit 69. Go north for 14 miles and get off at Exit 83 Donald Ross Road. At the end of the ramp turn right (east). The 2nd light you will make a left onto Parkside Drive (.3 miles). The Jupiter campus of FAU will be on your right hand side.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL)
The second and largest aiport near Jupiter is the Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL). This is an international
airport and international as well as domest participants should be able to fly directly into this airport for a
cheaper fare than flying to PBI. The aiport is about 65 miles (an hour) south of Jupiter. I am willing to
pick up participants from this airport as long as they are willing to wait for other participants so that I can
make as few trips as possible.
To get to Jupiter there are a few options:
If you rent a car: From the aiport you follow the signs to I-595 West. You will be traveling on the north side of the airport, west towards I-95. It should bea bout 3.5 miles.
Take the exit I-95 North. Head north on I-95. The exit to the airport is Exit 69.
Go north for 14 miles and get off at Exit 83 Donald Ross Road. At the end of the ramp turn right (east). The 2nd light you will make a left onto Parkside Drive (.3 miles). The
Jupiter campus of FAU will be on your right hand side.
Tri-Rail:You can also take a shuttle from the airport to the Tri-Rail station and
catch the train (heading North to the last exit Mangonia Park), I can pick you up from there as well. The train costs under $7.
Please let me know if you plan on renting a car from either of the airports and I will send you more detailed directions from the airport to Jupiter and the hotel.
Miami International Airport (MIA)
If you will be flying into the Miami International Airport please realize that I will not be picking you up. Miami is about 2 hours away.
The best plan is to connect to the Tri-Rail: As you exit the airport through lower level, walk to the bus stop located across from
Terminal E or at Terminal J. Take Tri-Rail Shuttle MIA 133 directly to Tri-Rail Hialeah Market/Miami Airport Station. A one way pass is around $7
and take the train to the last stop at Mangonia Park.
I will pick you up there.
