Airport courtesy phone

It’s been a long time since we stayed overnight in Ft. Lauderdale. Is there a courtesy phone at the airport you can use to contact your local hotel?

Yes, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) does have courtesy phones that travelers can use to contact local hotels, shuttle services, or other ground transportation. These phones are designed for quick, free communication within the airport and nearby locations.

Details:

  • Courtesy phones are typically located near baggage claim areas in each terminal. Look for signs marked “Courtesy Phone” or ask airport staff for directions.
  • These phones often allow direct dialing to hotel numbers or local transportation services without the need for coins or a credit card.
  • Some hotels also provide specific pickup instructions or a dedicated number for airport calls, which can be used on these phones.

Tips for Using Courtesy Phones:

  • Have your hotel’s direct phone number handy to avoid delays.
  • Be aware that wait times may occur during peak arrival times if multiple travelers need to use the phones.
  • If you prefer, you can also use your mobile phone or airport Wi-Fi to contact your hotel via call or messaging apps.
  • Ask the hotel in advance if they provide a complimentary airport shuttle — some hotels will arrange pickup directly, which may be faster than calling upon arrival.

In summary, yes — FLL offers courtesy phones near baggage claim, and they are convenient for contacting your local hotel, especially if you need assistance arranging a shuttle or confirming your reservation. For added convenience, having your hotel’s direct line and shuttle instructions ready is recommended.
