When planning Flights to Marco Island, it helps to know there’s no direct Marco Island Airport—but there are excellent nearby options to make your trip easy. The four main airports serving the island each offer different conveniences depending on where you’re flying from.

Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW)

Located in Fort Myers, about 50 miles north (roughly one hour by car). This is the best airport for most travelers taking flights to get closer to Marco Island, offering the widest range of domestic and international service.

Naples Airport (APF)

Just 20 miles away, Naples is the closest airport geographically, though it offers limited commercial flights. It’s ideal for private charters and seasonal regional connections.

Miami International Airport (MIA)

About 100 miles east, MIA is a major hub for international visitors. The drive across Alligator Alley is straightforward and scenic.

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL)

Roughly 115 miles away, FLL is another excellent option for global travelers who prefer a slightly smaller hub than Miami.

Reviewer Tip: If you’re landing at RSW, book your car or shuttle in advance—winter season demand is high, and options fill up fast.
