Route Briefing: Seattle to Key West
Escaping the Pacific Northwest for the laid-back charm of the Florida Keys takes about 6 hours and 15 minutes over 2,750 miles. Delta, United, and American offer easy one-stop flights into Key West International Airport (EYW).
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 $230 are a solid deal, with standard fares ranging from $340 to $510. Peak season runs from November through April when winter travelers seek warm sunshine and calm turquoise waters. Book 6 to 10 weeks ahead for the best economy ticket savings.
