About Southwest Florida International
RSW is Southwest Florida's primary airport and serves as a convenient departure point for the region's 2.3 million residents and seasonal winter visitors. The airport has grown substantially as a leisure travel hub, with direct flights to Caribbean, Mexico, and Central American destinations that dominate the departure board. Unlike major hubs, RSW isn't congested—security lines rarely exceed 15 minutes even during peak season. Southwest Airlines operates the most frequent service here, but you'll also find significant domestic capacity from United, American, and Delta. The airport handles roughly 8 million passengers annually, making it manageable without the chaos of Miami or Tampa.
Terminals & Airlines
RSW operates a single terminal building, which simplifies navigation considerably. Southwest Airlines occupies gates A1-A20 (Concourse A). American, United, and Delta gates are split between Concourse B (gates B1-B15) and Concourse C (gates C1-C10). All concourses connect through a unified security checkpoint and baggage claim area. No tram required—any gate is a 10-minute walk maximum. The terminal was renovated in 2023, so restrooms, WiFi, and food options are modern throughout.
Getting to the Airport
Uber/Lyft from downtown Fort Myers (about 20 miles) runs $28-38 and takes 25-30 minutes with normal traffic. Mears Connect (formerly Mears) operates a shared shuttle service for $18 per person one-way; book online for $16. If you're staying in Sanibel or Captiva, rideshare is your best bet at $35-45 (40 minutes). There's no public transit to RSW—this is a car-dependent region. The airport is located 15 miles south of downtown off Daniels Parkway. If you're flying out early morning, build in 90 minutes from downtown; RSW traffic is lightest before 6 AM.
Parking
RSW's on-site parking is reasonably priced compared to other Florida airports. Short-term parking is $3 per 30 minutes (max $24/day), useful for drop-offs. Economy lot parking runs $10/day for the first day, then $8/day thereafter—this is your standard option and it's a 5-minute shuttle ride. Valet parking is $18/day. For trips longer than 5 days, off-airport operators like SpotHero partner locations offer $6-8/day rates if you book online in advance; search 'RSW parking' on SpotHero. Peak season (December-March) fills economy lots by mid-morning, so arrive early or use the economy valet option ($18) if you're traveling then.

Pro Tips for Flying from Fort Myers
Southwest operates more flights from RSW than any other carrier, and their frequent flash sales (like $69 one-way tickets) pop up regularly if you monitor their website Tuesday-Thursday mornings. Set up alerts for RSW-specific routes rather than checking the main Southwest site.
The airport fills with seasonal snowbirds December-March. If you're flexible, fly out on Tuesday-Wednesday mornings in peak season—you'll see 40% lower fares and empty security lines. Avoid Friday-Sunday entirely from January-February.
RSW has direct flights to less-obvious Caribbean islands like Montego Bay (MBJ), Grand Cayman (GCY), and Puerto Vallarta (PVR) that often undercut Miami fares by $50-100 because fewer people know to book from here. Check these routes if flying from Miami is your default.
Parking validation isn't offered for any airline, so plan parking costs into your budget. However, if your flight is cancelled, RSW doesn't charge additional parking fees for same-day rebooking—call the parking office at 239-590-4800 to confirm.
