Located approximately 40 miles south of Stuart in West Palm Beach, Palm Beach International Airport is the nearest major airport near Stuart.

It offers a wide range of domestic and international flights, serving as a hub for many airlines.

This is the biggest and most widely used airport near us. It’s beautiful inside with tons of amenities, including the Mamava Pod.

This is a lactation/breast feeding pod, that locks so you can privately nurse your child. I’ve personally used it and love it. While waiting for our flight, I hung out for 45 minutes among all the airport chaos and it was a game-changer! Inside the spacious pods are changing tables, seating, charging outlets, and ventilation fans.

If you’re traveling to the Treasure Coast from outside the U.S, this airport is the right choice for you.

One thing you need to see if traveling in Palm Beach County, is the Blowing Rocks Preserve

Keep going South, and 80 miles south of Stuart, you’ll stumble across Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. This is another major airport near Stuart, Florida.

It provides both domestic and international flights and is super accommodating when flying to various destinations.

Along with PBI, and MIA, you’ll also find the Mamava lactation pod located here.

Now, to get from Stuart to Fort Lauderdale, you’ll want to take the Brightline high-speed train. The train won’t take you directly there.

You’ll first drive to the Brightline West Palm Station, located at 501 Evernia St.West Palm Beach FL 33401.

You can add parking to your ticket when you book your train ride.

 From there, you can be in Fort Lauderdale, at 101 NW 2nd Avenue,

I recommend exploring lively downtown Fort Lauderdale for a bit, but if you gotta jet, simply take an Uber to the airport.
