Getting there

Where are you flying from?

There is a nonstop flight from New York (JFK), about 2.5 hours in the air.

Fort Lauderdale lists year-round nonstops from New York JFK, Newark, Los Angeles, Chicago O'Hare and Toronto. Miami adds London Heathrow, Paris (Charles de Gaulle and Orly) and Tel Aviv.

Most North American travelers fly nonstop into Fort Lauderdale or Miami, and many from the Southeast simply drive.

Routes come from each airport’s published route list, checked October 2026. Flight times are estimates from the distance. Airlines change schedules, so confirm before you book (route list we used).

From the airport

Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport (FLL): about 20 minutes by carUsually the closer and easier airport for Aventura.
Miami International Airport (MIA): about 30 minutes by carMore international flights; traffic can add time.

Late April weather

Warm and mostly dry, with highs around 83°F (28°C) and nights near 70°F (21°C); the ocean is about 78°F (26°C) and comfortable for swimming.

Good to know

Florida is on the same time as New York.
A car or ride-hailing is needed for outings, and traffic is heavy at rush hour.
Aventura and nearby North Miami Beach have a large Jewish community with many kosher stores.

Safety and travel advisories

What governments say about travel to this country. Nothing here is this site’s own judgment.

Safety information for the United States

The US State Department does not publish an advisory for its own country. Other governments do publish advice for visitors, and local police departments publish crime figures for their own cities.

UK government advice

This is the governments’ own wording, not a rating by this site. Israel’s National Security Council also publishes travel warnings for Israelis abroad. Ask the operator what security the program itself arranges, such as guards and entry checks.
