Palm Beach International Airport KPBI / PBI
Ten minutes from Worth Avenue and the island estates, with three premium FBOs, 24-hour CBP and a 10,000 ft runway. Winter season (Thanksgiving to Easter) is intense; presidential TFRs affect the airport when Mar-a-Lago is occupied, so check NOTAMs. Jet Aviation's terminal is among the most luxurious in Florida.
