Online Reviews Summary
Key West International Airport (EYW) has recently undergone significant modernization, leading to an overwhelmingly positive shift in traveler sentiment. While older reviews highlighted issues typical of a smaller airport, the opening of the new Concourse A in early to mid-2025 has dramatically improved the passenger experience, making it a more comfortable and efficient gateway to the Florida Keys.
What Travelers Love
- Modern and Spacious Facilities: The newly opened Concourse A features voluminous space, natural light, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and comfortable, generous seating with worktables and charging ports (USB and AC power).
- Air-Conditioned Jet Bridges: Travelers appreciate the eight new glass jet bridges, eliminating the need to walk across the tarmac in the heat or rain.
- Efficient Security and Cleanliness: Security wait times are generally quick, often around 9-10 minutes for standard security and under 5 minutes for TSA PreCheck. The new facilities boast sparkling marble-walled restrooms.
- Improved Dining and Shopping: New concessions include a Chili's restaurant, Farm 2 Air Market, and First Call Beach Bar, enhancing previously limited options.
- Convenient Ground Transportation: A variety of options like taxis, shuttles, and rental cars are readily available, with services like Keys Shuttle receiving praise for comfort and punctuality.
Common Complaints
- Past Overcrowding and Cramped Areas: Before the expansion, the baggage claim area was often described as small and crowded, especially with multiple flights arriving.
- Airport Closure Overnight: The airport closes after the last flight, making it unsuitable for overnight layovers, and local authorities are strict about loitering or sleeping in cars.
- High Airfares: Fares to and from Key West are noted as being among the highest in Florida compared to other airports.
- Parking Capacity during Peak Season: While parking is available, travelers are advised to check capacity updates during busy periods and plan accordingly.
Key West International Airport has undergone a significant transformation with its recent expansion, largely addressing previous complaints about overcrowding and limited amenities. The new facilities offer a vastly improved experience with modern comforts and efficient processing, making it a more pleasant arrival and departure point for visitors to the Florida Keys.
