The Palm Beaches have long been a premier destination for elite travelers, known for its luxury shopping, fine dining, and world-class entertainment. However, with President Trump’s residence nearby, navigating Palm Beach International Airport has become more complex. Fortunately, just 40 miles north, Witham Field (SUA) in Stuart offers a convenient alternative for those seeking a smoother travel experience. Let’s explore what this Florida airport provides.
Navigating Palm Beach During Air Force One’s Arrival
With President Trump’s primary estate, Mar-a-Lago, located in Palm Beach, the frequent arrival of Air Force One brings certain challenges. Airspace and road closures as the President travels to his residence are common in cities where they reside. While these safety protocols are crucial, they can lead to some inconveniences for both travelers and locals. Flight delays, missed connections, and heightened traffic can create a sense of unpredictability at Palm Beach International Airport, especially during busy travel times.
Streamlined Travel at Stuart’s Witham Field
Amid the congestion of Palm Beach, many are seeking smaller airports that provide a more seamless experience. Stuart’s Witham Field has become a popular choice for its more relaxed environment and personalized services. With fewer crowds at this small Florida airport, navigating security and airport processes is quicker and more efficient. Additionally, Witham Field has a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol facility on-site. International travelers can clear customs without the long waits often experienced at larger airports.
