✨🍂🍁"Fall Back" Alert!⏰✨On Sunday, November 1, clocks roll back one hour starting at 2AM as daylight saving time ends. If you don't update your clocks or devices, your airport visit could feel a little off, and you might arrive much earlier than planned or find yourself wondering, "Wait… what time is it?" Don't let the time change catch you off guard. Enjoy that extra hour of sleep and arrive right on time for your #FLL flight.✈️ *FLL is a Service of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners.

Patriotic pride fills Terminal 1 at #FLL as we prepare to welcome over 60 U.S. veterans returning from their Honor Flight Mission 39 one-day trip to Washington, D.C.  The terminal’s lower-level lobby is lined with red, white, and blue as families and friends gather with signs and flags to greet the military heroes during Operation Homecoming. In the background, a DJ’s musical selection keeps the crowd energized as anticipation builds. These veterans served during the #KoreanWar, the #VietnamWar, and the #ColdWar across five branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. Their stories reflect courage, sacrifice, and moments that shaped our nation's history. 
Among those on #Mission39 are:
• 1st Lt. William Deely — U.S. Army, Purple Heart recipient
• Sgt. Trudy Milone — Women’s Army Corps, HERstory honoree
• Petty Officer E-3 Sharon Sellers — U.S. Navy, HERstory honoree (womensmemorial.org/herstory/) • Col. Richard Hinton — U.S. Army, Legion of Merit recipient   We are grateful as we await their arrival via @SouthwestAir.  #WelcomeHome #Mission39 @honorflightSFLA   *FLL is a Service of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners.

The #Mission38 plane has landed in Fort Lauderdale. Over 60 American heroes with @honorflightSFLA had an emotional day in Washington, D.C., then, upon arrival at #FLL, gathered to follow the bagpipes and honor guard to their "Operation Homecoming." Family, friends, and community members cheered as our veterans entered Terminal 4, shook hands, and received thanks for their service. You could see gratitude, pride, and a few tears on their faces. We are proud to call them our own. @SpiritAirlines #koreanwar #vietnamera #coldwar *FLL is a service of the Broward County Board of County Commissioners.
