Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Now Offering COVID-19 Testing
FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) - Travelers catching a flight at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport can now get a test for COVID-19.
The Broward Aviation Department, in partnership with Nomi Health and Spirit Airlines, now has a test site in the pre-security area of Terminal 3 on the lower level near the baggage claim.
Proof of travel to or from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International on any airline is required for testing. Passengers will need to show proof of a valid airline ticket, boarding pass, or confirmed (paid) flight itinerary.
Tests will be offered by appointment only, walk-ups may be accepted if no appointments are waiting.
They cost $74 for the rapid antigen test and $106 for the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. Rapid antigen test results come in about 30 minutes. For PCR tests, results come the next day done before 4 p.m., tests after 4 p.m. will have results within 48 hours.
While the rapid antigen test is quick, the PCR test is considered more accurate.
