What it means for travelers
- Two of the three seasons start in Fort Lauderdale (FLL), which also makes Miami (MIA) a backup airport.
- Several voyages are one-way, ending in Melbourne, Lisbon or Seward. The Seward finish usually means flying home from Anchorage (ANC). Plan your one-way flights home before you book.
