Route Briefing: Miami to Key West
The flight from Miami to Key West takes just 55 minutes over 125 miles. American Airlines and Silver Airways operate multiple daily flights into Key West International Airport (EYW), with many travelers also opting for the scenic 3.5-hour drive down the Overseas Highway.
Key West offers a wonderfully eccentric island atmosphere where roosters roam past Victorian conch houses. Rent a bicycle to explore Old Town, tour Ernest Hemingway's historic home, and join the lively sunset celebration at Mallory Square featuring street acrobats and musicians. Enjoy fresh conch fritters, peel-and-eat pink shrimp, and a slice of tart key lime pie while listening to live acoustic music along Duval Street.
Roundtrip economy fares under $140 are a solid deal, with standard fares ranging from $190 to $290. Peak season runs from November through April when winter travelers seek warm sunshine and calm turquoise waters. Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead for the best economy ticket savings.
