What travelers should know
For visitors, the most useful thing to understand is that EYW is a small island airport with a single lighted asphalt runway, 09/27, measuring 5,076 feet. That setup supports convenient access but also means the airport can feel busier at peak travel times, especially around weekends and holidays when Key West is popular. The local time zone is America/New_York, so travelers connecting from elsewhere in the United States should check schedules carefully. Since the airport sits just 3 feet above sea level, it reflects its low-lying coastal setting, and that island location is part of what makes arriving here feel distinctly different from landing at a large mainland hub.
