Everything from gardens and campgrounds to live entertainment awaits on the other side of a Jacksonville flight. Book now, and your great getaway is in motion.

Transportation from JAX

Flights to Jacksonville land at Jacksonville International Airport (JAX). Whether you’ve booked a room on the beach or you’re staying downtown, one of the best ways to get to your hotel is a car. Parking is plentiful in the city, and having your own wheels means Greater Florida is at your disposal on your own schedule.

If you want someone else to take the wheel, taxis, limousines, and shuttles are also available at the airport; all ground transportation is next to the baggage claim on the lower level of the terminal building. Jacksonville’s compact city core makes walking a viable option or just hop on the public transportation. Take the River Taxi to admire the skyline from the water or the automated Skyway to glide above city streets or across the St. John's River. Over 30 bus routes crisscross the city and the two trackless trolley lines give more intimate views of the river and the beach.
