I was in Miami for a conference, and driving the road to Key West was the most interesting part of my Key West day excursion.
I'm glad y'all had an enjoyable trip.
Thanks for the inside of the scanner! Very cool.
Great video. I am looking forward to making the trip to the Keys soon! Thanks again.

Thank you! I wanted to know.
Your little mishap on the train ride at Orlando cracked me up! 😂
Us too! We just rode that train right back where we came from....it was funny.
I have been to the Key West airport for two arrivals and two departures. I like the airport. I’m glad they are adding jetways.
What a great little airport! Thanks for showing us around. 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
Great airport. Fly in and out from RDU many times a year. Renovations with the gates will be excellent next year.
Thank you for showing us the inside of the airport there! Its nice to see where you are going before you get there. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good stuff!!!
I had a great time flying with you. I always wondered what the KW airport is really like and now I know. Thanks for letting us know which airlines fly there. I finally figured out who Laurie reminds me of -- one of my university calculus professors. She was from Atlanta. It was hard initially as she talked very s l o w. Not that Laurie does. She was fabulous and said the funniest things while doing problems such as " lets plug and chug". Beautiful video ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool vid.. i love driving from ft Lauderdale thru the keys but.... when its a quick impusive trip and I have ti catch the sunset at Mallory sq I'll land in key west grab my "Turo" rental jeep and get my butt on Duval! Catch "Mufasa " singing as the sun sizzles into the ocean. The keys are a special place and Im a little short bus special so I fit in perfectly 😅 I'm talking about the "LIFE'S TOO SHORT BUS" that goes back and forth to Ibis Bay resort...😅😂😅 thx for the video.
Great adventure Mark and Laurie. Always wanted to see the Key West airport. I have a cousin that lives in Key West. Maybe if I have the pleasure to see her someday I'll know what to expect. Did you take Mom with you to Georgia? I remember she lives in the villages. Glad you had a nice time. Thanks for the great video and for taking us along.
Thanks for watching! Mom does not travel these days. We flew into Orlando to go spend some time with her...then up to Atlanta to see the rest of the family. Great time!
Never in my life have I heard of Silver Airlines lol! Are they called that because they weren’t good enough for Gold haha! Great video, thanks for the ride!
Soooooo much to be said for small quiet airports. Especially in FL. And miniscule security lines... so nice.
That camera thru the scanner was Hilarious! The FBI will be visiting you shortly!
The ATR is a French Italian regional A/C, final assy in Toulouse, France
Great video. RT to my airport, RSW, is 800 bucks. But I think as low as 450 if you can find the flight. But Dallas is only 600 RT!.... buuuuuuut, you hafta fly to jersey en route. Very cool airport tho.... wish I lived there.
They closed the smoking area outside, loved that.
Looks like you just missed getting rained on when you were getting on your departing flight.☔️ Here I an thinking about what it would be like to fly into Key West and there you are leaving it!
Wonderful. We enjoy the drive down into the Keys - stopping along the way. But it looks easy peasy. Merry Christmas. How is the house coming along?
Merry Christmas to you! the drive through the Keys from Miami or Ft. Lauderdale is just fine most of the time and certainly scenic. But, getting out of either and the traffic to get to the Keys has been nothing but a nightmare for us in the past. Maybe I'm getting too old, but driving in that Miami traffic doing 80 - 100mph just to stay with traffic....or dead stopped for hours....just can't do it anymore. The house is coming along slowly, but a video will come!
@@GablesOnTheGo we come from Delray Beach and go around Miami. We just love the Keys. Hoping to get down more often. Can’t wait for the video.
Well Mark, I suggest you and Lori would have that fabulose double Bloody Mary Drink at the Key West Airport Bar! It makes that puddle jumper feel better by the time you land in either the Carolinas, or you are in the Miami tunnel of transit when you land!
I've had it and you are correct...it makes everything better!
Those are amazing. Slammed 3 before the flight to Charlotte.
I'm not sure what day and time this video was shot in the KW airport, but the last two times I have flown out midday, it was so crowded, you literally could not walk thru the departures are without elbowing through. It is a horrible experience.
How guys, that was a cool video!!! I don't care for the Orlando airport, hard to navigate. The ATR42-400 is made by Franco-Italien manufacturing and assembled in France. Very informative video
Good info Nat! I looked it up as well, I had no idea what that plane was....
Hey Y'all .... Rocky here I was stationed in KW late 60s...that terminal hasn't changed a lot since then I always liked flyin into FT lauderdale and drivin down in a rental convert....My dau. is flyin down this WE from Atl. short visit with friends that own a mansion there which is on tha market for over a mil. ....I've spoken to you Mark a cpl times...We lived in Gainesville and had a mutual friend Brian Sargent at Chestatee had two boys that played ball....Safe travels to ya....
Good to hear from you. Tell Sarge...Gable says hi!
I always like flying in and out of key west, if not for the convenience then definitely for the views 😆
I used to work for a shuttle service primarily to PHL but I taken people to every airport from JFK TO IAD
Is there such a service in the keys??
There are several actually. Not sure of all the names but it's easy and cheap to get back and forth through the Keys on the shuttles.
What’s the name of the luggage that you have with you looking to buy new luggage for Vacation they look very sturdy. Thank you.
Honestly could not tell you...we bought what ever was available at Bealls outlet here in town. Cheap luggage, but works great so far!
I had the worst experience with Silver Airlines to and from Key West, I will NEVER use them again.
That was our first time on Silver, it was very seamless. However, coming back from Atlanta on Delta, we got to our gate just before boarding time and nobody was there. Apparently they told everyone standing in line that the plane was down for maintenance and told everyone to go to a different gate, but did not send emails or update the Delta app....so we had to jump back on the train and go to a different terminal and gate and just barely made the plane....
Are those PROPELLERS on that plane? Ahhhhhh, I don't think so. Did you check the condition of the rubber band?
Allegant flies from Orlando Sanford to Key West, flights are seasonal but super cheap..
Baggage claim in Key West is very slow. Took over 25 minutes after we were in the terminal. Would not recommend checking baggage to Key West!
If you flew into anywhere else it would take 25 minutes just to get to baggage claim 😂 I think it’s because it only takes a few minutes into the terminal that it seems so long!
👍⚾️
that's very fast.
Haven't lived in Key West in over 10 years. Everything pretty much look the same haha.
Selling Key West airport 😂. You failed to cover HOW MUCH more ticket prices are than Miami and most flights are crop dusters 😂
Well that's tough to say when prices change continuously. Some folks will pay much higher prices for tickets if the convenience and stress is less flying into Key West. "Selling" is a stretch...we were sharing information and our personal experience. If you know anyone at the Key West airport PR department let me know, I'd love to get paid!
Please don’t come to the Keys! We are full!
That's nice
