Flying into Beautiful Panama City Beach

The Perks of ECP

Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, otherwise known as ECP, is the nation's newest international airport, so you can expect a comfortable facility. Another benefit of flying into and out of ECP is that it offers some of the lowest fares in that region. In addition to being close to Panama City Beach, it is also not far from Panama City and South Walton.

Only two airlines operate out of ECP, Delta and Southwest*, so you can expect your flights to Panama City Beach Airport to bring you to a destination that is not as hectic as other international flight hubs.

From ECP to the Beach

ECP's central location makes it easy for you to get to your destination. Seven car rental services operate on-site at the airport, so you can quickly pick up your vehicle and zip away to take in the area's remarkable scenery.

If you want to save some money, you can also take a shuttle or taxi cab. ECP's website has a full list of transportation services that frequent the airport.

Fly in Fall or Spring

Panama City Beach vacations are most popular in summer, when families flock to the beaches, and in winter, when folks from colder areas are craving sunshine. Florida is a great place to visit any time of year, so if you're a thrifty traveler, you can go in spring or autumn and save some bucks on airfare.

Fly midweek, such as on a Tuesday or Wednesday, to save even more.

Beaches and Beyond

After you step off the airplane, you can take the half hour drive to Panama City beach and enjoy its 27 miles of waterfront wonder. You can also hit the mall or visit the breathtaking St. Andrews State Park. Before you retire to your hotel, you can check out the area's exciting nightlife.
