Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is 78 miles from Miami International (MIA), with direct flights from 12 US hubs averaging $120-$380 roundtrip in 2026. Budget carriers like Allegiant (G4) offer the lowest base fares, but hidden fees often double the cost.

How Much Do Flights To Palm Beach Cost in 2026?

Delta (DL) charges $287 for a roundtrip from New York (JFK) on a standard economy ticket, while American Airlines (AA) offers $212 for the same route with free checked bags. Allegiant Air (G4) lists $109 as the base fare from Atlanta (ATL), but adds a $15 checked bag fee not shown in search results. I paid $142 for a July 2025 Allegiant flight from Orlando (MCO) with no hidden fees because I traveled midweek.

Airline Price Comparison: PBI Routes

Airline	Route	Base Price	Checked Bag Fee	Typical Wait Time
Allegiant (G4)	MCO→PBI	$109	$15	42 minutes
American (AA)	MIA→PBI	$212	Free	31 minutes
Delta (DL)	JFK→PBI	$287	Free

Cheapest Time To Fly & Booking Window

Flights from major hubs are 33% cheaper in May ($120) compared to peak December ($380), according to 2025 data from the Palm Beach Airport Authority. Booking 35 days ahead yields 22% savings on Allegiant routes (e.g., $109 → $85), while Delta requires 45+ days for similar discounts. Avoid July 1-15—peak hurricane season drives prices up 41% due to storm-related cancellations.

Watch Out For: Hidden Fees & Traps

Allegiant’s $15 checked bag fee applies to all routes, including PBI, and isn’t included in the $109 base fare. I discovered this when my $109 MCO→PBI ticket cost $124 at the counter. American Airlines charges $25 for seat selection on flights under 500 miles (like MIA→PBI), while Delta includes it in economy. Always check the final price before booking—Booking.com adds a 14.5% "taxes and fees" surcharge not visible in the initial search.

Logistics: Airport Code, Transfers & City Access

Palm Beach International (PBI) has only two terminals. A taxi from PBI to downtown West Palm Beach costs $28-$35 (25 minutes), while the Palm Tran bus (Route 12) is $2.25 (35 minutes). Flights from Fort Lauderdale (FLL) are cheaper (avg. $89) but require a 45-minute transfer to PBI via shuttle ($12). I used the $2.25 bus from PBI to my hotel on March 15, 2025, saving $26 vs. a taxi.

Q: What’s the cheapest airline for a roundtrip from Chicago (ORD)?

A: Allegiant (G4) offers $162 base fare from ORD→PBI, but the total cost is $177 with the $15 bag fee. American (AA) charges $201 with free bags, making it 10% cheaper overall for travelers with luggage.

Q: How much should I budget for checked bags on PBI flights?

A: Budget carriers like Allegiant charge $15 per bag (not included in $109 base fare), while Delta and American include one checked bag in economy. Always add $15 to budget airline prices when booking.

Q: What’s the fastest transfer from MIA to PBI?

A: A direct bus from MIA to PBI costs $12 and takes 90 minutes, avoiding the $28 taxi fare. The Palm Tran shuttle runs every 30 minutes from MIA Terminal 4.
