About
Arriving at Jacksonville International Airport
Jacksonville International is a straightforward single-terminal airport with three concourses. Passenger volumes are moderate, so the airport rarely feels crowded and baggage claim moves quickly.
The airport sits north of the city off I-95, making the drive simple but long enough that timing matters. A landing alert lets you leave at the right moment—especially helpful if you're coming from the beaches area, which is 30+ miles away.
Pickup tip
JAX is 15 miles north of downtown Jacksonville. The single terminal is easy to navigate. Wait for a landing text, then take I-95 north to the airport.
