If you're considering moving to Palm Beach County, Florida, air travel is one of the area's major advantages. The airport long known as Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is located in West Palm Beach, putting arriving home buyers within easy reach of communities throughout Palm Beach County.

In July 2026, Palm Beach International Airport was officially renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport, and the passenger airport code changed from PBI to DJT on August 18, 2026. The name and code changed, but Palm Beach County continues to own and operate the airport, and the airport said the transition did not alter its flights or passenger services.

For people researching a move, that's an important distinction: older travel articles, websites and searches may still reference PBI, while current airline booking systems increasingly identify West Palm Beach as DJT.

And if you're flying into Palm Beach County to look at real estate, you can begin before your plane ever leaves the gate. Brian Wilder of Keller Williams Wellington helps buyers throughout Palm Beach County and has worked in the local real estate business since the 1990s. His website provides property searches covering Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee and many other South Florida communities.

Which Airlines Serve Palm Beach International Airport / DJT?

One of the strengths of the West Palm Beach airport is the variety of airlines available. The airport's current terminal map lists 12 passenger airlines across three concourses.

That mix includes traditional network airlines, low-cost carriers and international service. Some routes are seasonal, however, so the airport specifically recommends checking directly with the airline for current availability.

Where Can You Fly Nonstop From Palm Beach County?

The airport's current route map is extensive for a relatively convenient South Florida airport.

New York and the Northeast

The Northeast is particularly well connected. Current nonstop service includes Boston, Hartford, Islip, Newark, New Haven, New York-JFK, New York-LaGuardia, Philadelphia, Providence and Westchester, with additional seasonal routes.

New York buyers have several choices. Delta and JetBlue serve JFK; American, Delta and JetBlue serve LaGuardia; and JetBlue and United serve Newark.

That's worth considering for buyers thinking about relocating from New York, New Jersey or Connecticut while maintaining business or personal connections in the Northeast.

Boston to Palm Beach County

Boston is another competitive market. Current airport information lists American, Delta and JetBlue between West Palm Beach and Boston, with American identified as seasonal.

Current September 2026 fare searches illustrate how dramatically prices can vary. JetBlue recently displayed selected Boston-to-West Palm Beach one-way fares from approximately $139, while American was displaying September West Palm Beach-Boston round trips from approximately $392. These are examples rather than guaranteed fares.

Atlanta and the Southeast

Delta Air Lines provides nonstop service between Atlanta and West Palm Beach, giving Palm Beach County residents access to Delta's enormous Atlanta connecting network.

Other current southern destinations include Charlotte on American, Dallas/Fort Worth on American, Baltimore and Nashville on Southwest, Houston-Intercontinental on United, and Raleigh-Durham, Richmond, Charleston and Norfolk on Breeze. Some of these routes are seasonal.

Chicago and the Midwest

Chicago O'Hare is served by American Airlines and United Airlines, with United identified by the airport as seasonal. Detroit is served by Delta, while Allegiant provides selected Midwest routes including Cincinnati and Grand Rapids.

Recent American searches showed September 2026 West Palm Beach-Chicago round trips beginning around $344, with October examples as low as approximately $237. Again, airfare can change quickly based on dates, inventory and fare class.

Washington, D.C.

Palm Beach County residents also have multiple options for Washington. American and JetBlue serve Reagan National, while United serves Washington Dulles seasonally.

For someone relocating from the Washington region—or continuing to travel there for business—that gives buyers both downtown-oriented DCA access and United's connecting network through IAD.

West Coast Service Is Expanding

The airport's network is becoming increasingly interesting for transcontinental travelers.

Current airport information shows United launching seasonal San Francisco service November 7, 2026, while Delta and JetBlue list seasonal Los Angeles service beginning November 21. Southwest is also scheduled to begin Denver service November 21, alongside seasonal United Denver service.

That expanded western connectivity can be particularly relevant to people considering a move from California, Colorado or other western states.

International Flights from Palm Beach County

International service includes nearby Caribbean and Canadian destinations. Bahamasair serves Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas, while Air Canada serves Montreal seasonally and Air Canada and Porter provide seasonal Toronto service.

For longer international trips, Palm Beach County residents also have access to the much larger networks at Fort Lauderdale and Miami, giving South Florida residents several airport options depending on the destination.

What Does It Cost to Fly to Palm Beach County?

Airline prices change constantly, so I wouldn't publish a supposed fixed "average fare." A better approach is to give relocating buyers some real examples while explaining that they're snapshots.

Recent 2026 searches showed:

Route Recent example Notes
Boston–West Palm Beach From about $139 one way JetBlue
West Palm Beach–Boston From about $392 round trip American
West Palm Beach–Atlanta From about $175 one way Southwest
West Palm Beach–Chicago From about $344 round trip American
West Palm Beach–New York LGA From about $246 one way Southwest

Recent Southwest searches showed selected September West Palm Beach-Atlanta fares from $175 one way and West Palm Beach-LaGuardia from $246 one way. JetBlue showed selected Boston-West Palm Beach fares from $139 one way, while American's September Chicago examples began around $344 round trip.

The important lesson isn't the specific fare. It's that multiple airlines compete on several important Palm Beach routes, so buyers planning a relocation trip should compare carriers and dates.

Flying to Palm Beach County to Look at Homes?

If you're investing the time and money to fly into South Florida for a house-hunting trip, make those days count.

  • Contact Brian before booking your trip. Tell Brian Wilder what you're looking for, your approximate price range and the communities you're considering so potential properties can be identified before you arrive.
  • Start searching online before you fly. Browse Palm Beach homes for sale or explore Palm Beach County real estate with Brian Wilder.
  • Don't restrict the search to one city. Brian's website contains searches for West Palm Beach, Wellington, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee and many other communities.
  • Consider what type of South Florida property you actually want. Palm Beach County includes everything from condominiums and suburban single-family homes to waterfront estates, equestrian properties, acreage and new construction.
  • Use Brian's buyer resources before arriving. His Palm Beach County Buyer's Guide discusses South Florida-specific issues such as wind-mitigation inspections, four-point inspections, insurance and flood-zone considerations.
  • Leave time to experience each community. A relocation visit shouldn't consist entirely of opening front doors. Explore the roads, restaurants, shopping, beaches and everyday conveniences surrounding the homes you're considering.
  • Keep part of your final day flexible. You may want to return to a favorite property or discover another listing after you've already toured the area.

Where Should You Look for a Home?

Palm Beach County isn't one homogeneous real estate market. The community that works for one buyer may be completely different from the right choice for another.

Palm Beach

Buyers seeking the island market can begin with Palm Beach homes for sale. Current listings on Brian's site range from condominiums to multimillion-dollar estates, illustrating the extraordinary range within the Palm Beach market.

West Palm Beach

West Palm Beach is especially convenient for air travelers because the airport itself is located there. Brian's site includes extensive West Palm Beach inventory and community information. One example is Foxhall, which Brian's guide describes as approximately four miles from the airport.

Wellington

For buyers interested in Wellington, including its residential and equestrian markets, Brian's Keller Williams office is located in Wellington and his team specializes in Palm Beach County real estate.

Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter

Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and Delray Beach

Buyers heading south from West Palm Beach can compare Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and Delray Beach. All three are included within Brian's extensive city-search architecture.

Rather than choosing a community based solely on what you've read online, seeing several during the same relocation visit can help you understand how different parts of Palm Beach County actually feel and function.

Fly In, Explore Palm Beach County and Find Your Florida Home

Easy airport access can become an important quality-of-life advantage after you move. Palm Beach County residents can reach destinations across the Northeast, Midwest and South without changing planes, while seasonal routes expand access to the West Coast and Canada. The airport currently lists nonstop destinations ranging from Boston, New York and Washington to Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and Los Angeles, along with Canadian and Caribbean service.

Then there is the real estate.

Brian Wilder with Keller Williams Wellington has deep roots in Palm Beach County and leads the Wilder Real Estate Group with his wife and business partner, Jennifer Wilder. Brian's website states that the team has helped more than 1,500 families with real estate transactions and works across Palm Beach County, including specialized markets such as acreage, equestrian property, new construction and luxury real estate.
