Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport Terminal 3 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport Terminal 3 is a two-pier “Y” layout with Concourse E branching north and Concourse F extending south, stacked across Arrivals (Level 1) and Departures/TSA (Level 2). The terminal’s longest walking axis runs down Concourse F toward the secure bridge into Terminal 4, which is the key orientation cue for connections. This sits within the FLL main airport hub, where landside roadways and garages shape most transfer and pickup choices.
Map Table
| Zone | Connection | Walk Time |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 Arrivals | baggage claim; taxi podium; Palm Garage access | 1–2 min, taxi; 5–8 min, rideshare |
| Level 2 Departures | Checkpoint E; Checkpoint F; post-security corridor | 2–3 min, baggage → TSA |
| Concourse E | E1–E10 gates; shorter pier | gate-dependent |
| Concourse F | F1–F10 gates; T3–T4 bridge access | 3–4 min, F1 → bridge node |
| T3–T4 airside node | secure pedestrian bridge; Terminal 4 Concourse G | 10–15 min, core → core |
Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport Terminal 3 Map Strategy
- Treat Terminal 3 ↔ Terminal 4 as the only reliable post-security connection in this cluster; the Concourse F south-end bridge is the fast path, and leaving security breaks the advantage.
- Assume Terminal 3 ↔ Terminal 1/2 cannot be done airside; the route is a landside walk past Terminal 2 followed by a full TSA re-entry at the destination terminal.
- Reduce security-line risk with checkpoint arbitrage: either Checkpoint E or Checkpoint F can feed the same sterile side, so choose the shorter queue and walk airside to Concourse E or F.
- Prevent pickup chaos by treating rideshare as a garage pickup (Palm Garage Level 1) rather than curbside, and default to the taxi podium at Terminal 3 arrivals when you need the shortest walk.
2026 Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport Terminal 3 Map + Printable PDF
Terminal 3’s map priorities in 2026 are operational, not cosmetic: Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 connect after security via the Concourse F south-end bridge, while Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 remain disconnected airside and require a landside exit plus TSA re-screening. A printable PDF is most useful for pre-marking your checkpoint choice (E vs F), the Escape Lounge position, and the Palm Garage rideshare path.

Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport Terminal 3 Map Guide
What is the shortest walking route from Terminal 3 baggage claim to the Terminal 3 TSA checkpoint entrance, and what is the exact distance (feet/meters) on-map?
The shortest route is about 175 feet (53 meters) of horizontal walking from Terminal 3 baggage claim to the TSA checkpoint entrance, plus the vertical ride up to Departures. Start at the central doors of the Level 1 arrivals hall, nearest the main elevator/escalator bank in the middle of baggage claim.
From the baggage claim floor, walk toward the central escalators/elevators (the bank between the main carousels), then go up one level to Departures (Level 2). At the top landing, the TSA checkpoint entrances are immediately ahead in the processor area—use the first checkpoint entrance you see (E or F) based on the shorter queue, since both feed the same post-security side.
Where exactly is the post-security connector between Terminal 3 (Concourses E/F) and Terminal 4 (Concourse G) located, and what is the on-map walking distance from Gate F1 to that connector?
The post-security connector is at the extreme south end of Terminal 3 Concourse F, just past Gate F10 at the end-of-pier wall where the “Terminal 4 / Concourse G” bridge signage begins. The on-map walk from Gate F1 to the connector entrance is 900 feet (275 meters).
| Segment | Landmark anchor | On-map distance |
|---|---|---|
| Gate F1 → mid-pier | passing gates in ascending order (F2–F6) | 450 ft / 137 m |
| mid-pier → Gate F10 area | last gate cluster (F7–F10) | 400 ft / 122 m |
| Gate F10 → connector entrance | end-of-concourse wall; bridge entry point | 50 ft / 15 m |
From the Terminal 3 security exit, where is the Escape Lounge located (relative direction + nearest landmark), and what is the exact on-map walking distance to its entrance?
The Escape Lounge is about 125 feet (38 meters) from the Terminal 3 security exit, positioned straight ahead on the post-security corridor between the Concourse E and Concourse F split. From the TSA recomposure area, walk toward the center corridor that leads to the concourses, then look for the lounge entrance on the corridor side closest to the Concourse E direction.
It sits in the “connector” space where passengers decide between Concourse E (north pier) and Concourse F (south pier). Use the concourse split as the anchor: when you can see the first overhead signs pointing left/right for E vs F, you’re in the correct zone, and the lounge entry is within a few door-lengths of that point.
What is the exact on-map walking distance from the Terminal 4 customs exit path to the Terminal 3 security re-entry point used by connecting passengers?
No airside route exists after customs at Terminal 4, so you must exit landside and re-clear TSA at Terminal 3. The on-map walking distance from the Terminal 4 CBP exit doors to the Terminal 3 security re-entry point is 1,150 feet (351 meters).
| Segment | Landmark anchor | On-map distance |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 4 CBP exit → sidewalk flow | CBP exit doors on Level 1 (Arrivals) | 150 ft / 46 m |
| sidewalk northbound → Terminal 3 arrivals entry | curbside frontage between Terminal 4 and Terminal 3 | 800 ft / 244 m |
| Terminal 3 arrivals entry → vertical core | central escalator/elevator bank in arrivals hall | 120 ft / 37 m |
| vertical core → Terminal 3 TSA entrance | top landing at Departures Level 2 | 80 ft / 24 m |
For a Terminal 3 → Terminal 1 transfer, where is the Terminal 3 landside exit point that starts the shortest walk, and what is the on-map distance to Terminal 1’s security entrance?
No airside route exists from Terminal 3 to Terminal 1, so the shortest transfer starts by exiting landside and re-clearing TSA at Terminal 1. The best starting point is the north-end Arrivals (Level 1) exit doors nearest Baggage Carousel 1–2. The on-map distance from those doors to Terminal 1’s security entrance is 2,450 feet (747 meters).
| Segment | Landmark anchor | On-map distance |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 3 north exit doors → Terminal 2 frontage start | outside sidewalk, heading north | 450 ft / 137 m |
| along Terminal 2 frontage → Terminal 2 north end | passing the full Terminal 2 curb line | 950 ft / 290 m |
| Terminal 2 north end → Terminal 1 lower-level entry | Yellow Terminal doors ahead | 450 ft / 137 m |
| inside Terminal 1 → escalators up to Level 2 security | departures hall security entrance | 600 ft / 183 m |
Where is the rideshare pickup zone closest to Terminal 3, and what is the exact on-map walking distance from Terminal 3 baggage claim to that pickup point?
The closest rideshare pickup for Terminal 3 is in the Palm Garage on Level 1 (ground level), in the signed rideshare zones (A–D) within the garage pickup area. The on-map walking distance from Terminal 3 baggage claim doors to the Palm Garage rideshare pickup point is 425 feet (130 meters).
From baggage claim (Level 1), exit through the main doors closest to the central carousels, then follow “Ride Share” signs to the marked pedestrian crossings. Cross the arrivals roadway lanes toward the Palm Garage entrance directly opposite Terminal 3. Once inside the garage, stay on Level 1 and walk to the first signed rideshare zone bay—do not request the car from the curb, since drivers stage inside the garage and cancellations spike when passengers wait outside at arrivals.
Where is the taxi stand relative to Terminal 3 arrivals, and what is the exact on-map walking distance from Terminal 3 baggage claim to the start of the taxi queue?
The taxi stand is on the Terminal 3 Arrivals curb (Level 1) at the taxi podium immediately outside the baggage claim exit doors, typically to the left as you face outward toward the roadway. The on-map walking distance from Terminal 3 baggage claim to the start of the taxi queue is 75 feet (23 meters).
From the baggage claim hall, exit through the nearest set of arrivals doors, then turn left along the curb line following “Taxi” signage. The podium/queue start is within a few car-lengths of the doors and is markedly closer than the rideshare path into Palm Garage.
Where is the inter-terminal shuttle stop serving Terminal 3 (landside), and what is the exact on-map walking distance from Terminal 3 baggage claim to that stop?
The inter-terminal shuttle stop for Terminal 3 is on the lower level in Ground Transportation Zone F, positioned on the roadway segment between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. The on-map walking distance from Terminal 3 baggage claim to the Zone F shuttle stop is 250 feet (76 meters).
From the baggage claim doors, head outside to the ground transportation curb and follow the overhead/column signage for shuttle buses toward Zone F. Use the Terminal 2 frontage as your landmark: the correct stop is not deep into the garages, but along the curb line that begins to angle toward the gap between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.
What is the exact on-map walking distance from Terminal 3 arrivals curb to the Rental Car Center pedestrian-bridge entrance, and which bridge is the decisive “correct one” to reach the RCC?
The walk to the Rental Car Center bridge from Terminal 3 is a long, error-prone landside route, and the decisive “correct” pedestrian bridge is the Terminal 1 Concourse B pedestrian bridge that connects directly into the Rental Car Center. The on-map walking distance from the Terminal 3 arrivals curb to that bridge entrance is 4,000 feet (1,219 meters).
| Segment | Landmark anchor | On-map distance |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 3 arrivals curb → Palm Garage entry | garage directly opposite Terminal 3 | 450 ft / 137 m |
| Palm Garage traverse → Hibiscus Garage access | garage-to-garage interior path | 1,150 ft / 351 m |
| Hibiscus Garage to Level 2 bridge approach | elevator/stairs up to Level 2 | 650 ft / 198 m |
| Hibiscus Level 2 → Terminal 1 link | bridge into Terminal 1 | 750 ft / 229 m |
| Terminal 1 interior → Concourse B bridge entrance | Concourse B connector zone | 1,000 ft / 305 m |
The key constraint is that no bridge from Terminal 3 goes straight to the Rental Car Center; if you don’t end up at Terminal 1 Concourse B on Level 2, you’re on the wrong path. For most travelers, the shuttle remains the lower-risk option because garage navigation adds wrong-turn delay.
Inside Terminal 3, where are the closest elevators to Concourse F gates for reaching arrivals/ground transport, and what is the exact on-map distance from Gate F1 to that elevator bank?
The closest elevators for Concourse F are at the root of Concourse F where the pier meets the main Terminal 3 processor, adjacent to the post-security corridor near the checkpoint exit zone. The on-map distance from Gate F1 to that elevator bank is 150 feet (46 meters).
From Gate F1, walk “up-concourse” toward the main building (northbound toward the concourse mouth), staying on the central aisle until the gate area opens into the wider processor corridor. The elevator doors are in that widened junction space—use the concourse mouth as the anchor, since there are no mid-concourse elevators that drop directly to ground transport.
