Looks like I'll be a temporary commuter from S. Florida for a couple of months, as my wife takes her horse (and, only incidentally, her husband) down to Wellington for the winter season. I'm in ATL, brand new to the 320B category.
PBI will be my easiest drive by far (~15 minutes), but FLL & MIA are in striking distance if the need arises. I've heard bad things about FLL for commuting, but nothing one way or another about PBI or MIA. Looking at schedule alone, PBI looks pretty good: 11 mainline flights per day, with a couple of SWA flights for good measure. Of course, that may not be the whole story, so, on to my questions...:
- What am I in for, jumpseating PBI - ATL & back? Tips/tricks I need to know? Lots of commuters? Sitting on the JS doesn't bother me; not getting on the flight at all does!
- Parking? Do we have a FA base there? If so, how do I get a parking pass? If not, should I expect to need FLL often enough to be worth pursuing a parking pass there? (My commuting airport is not a base; I have to pay for my own parking, so my parking privileges are "unused," if I find myself at a FA base.)
- If I'm on my own for parking at PBI--options/suggestions?
Thanks for any help/ideas/advice. Cheers!
