What's the least expensive way to fly into the Keys from Detroit for the Worlds?

As of right now, there are flights out of DTW to EYW for under 400.

Travelocity. The airport codes are DTW and EYW.
 
The only problem with flying to KW is the possible layover in Miami. Last time we did the flight from DFW to KW, we could have just gotten in a car in Miami & drove to KW in the time we waited for our connection to KW.
It is 3-4 hours worth of drive time from Lauderdale to KW & it is a good, fun drive. Stop @ MM 69 for a picture, stop at the Tiki bar for a drink, stop on the 7 mile bridge & pee off it, get a blow job at Woody's.
 
TAKE THE FERRY out of Ft. Meyers!!! OMG...it's a BLAST! $125 round trip...they have food and a bar to keep you entertained. TRUST ME...much better than driving down from Miami!!!

Not all airlines hub at Miami.
Some airlines hub at Ft. Myers or Ft. Lauderdale.

One of the flights that I saw when I checked was a total time of less than 5 hours from DTW to EYW, with one plane change in Ft. Myers.

How long does this take? Might be an option for us. How long would it take to get from the Miami airport to Ft. Meyers by cab?

You can, but then you have taxi and hotels to deal with. The ferry back is in the evening so you're there overnight.

There's also the land shuttle. Leaves every 2 hours. You can party until 2am and "red-eye" to Miami or Lauderdale. http://www.floridasunshineshuttle.com/key-west-shuttle.html

You would have to fly into Ft. Meyers. It was cheaper to fly to Ft. Meyers then Miami anyway, coming from Kansas that is...We stayed in Ft. Meyers the night before at a hotel right by the ferry, then caught the ferry the next morning. It worked out great for us.

the ferry is 3 hours - leaves at 8:45am and gets the before 12:00. Then leaves after 5pm in the evenings back to Ft. Meyers.

check into it...if you go, you need to ask for Captain Curly....
 
Thanks Mrs. Gordo. We are looking to get our travelplans buttoned up this week. This is definitely a possibility!
 
Thanks, many good ideas..... I really like the idea of the ferry... We will try to make it . Good to here from so many 'old' friends.... See you soon hopefully :)

I have driven by your house ok....I am at a loss at the moment but things are easily confused in these days of my old age!!!!

I think she meant Jolley but, you're right, she wasn't very specific. Sean, we actually met you at the COPS party in Grand Rapids where they rolled out the plans for the new Chief line of boats. Good party, too bad the boats didn't work out as well...

See ya in Key West, Ian
 
Warning- Bobcat did work at the EYE airport- get your bags and get the f out of any structures ASAP when you arrive/depart!
