The cheapest time to come to Fort Myers is in May. Of course, there are other months of the year when the tourist traffic dwindles, but that is due to extreme weather conditions. Not only does it rain heavily in Fort Myers during June to September months, but there is also a significant chance of hurricanes and tropical storms in the region. Planning a vacation during the summer is a risk that could get you even cheaper rates and fees, but the weather can turn without a moment’s notice. It is therefore advisable to visit Fort Myers in May for a slightly less expensive and safe vacation.

Southwest International Airport (RSW) is the closest major airport to Fort Myers. Taking the Interstate 75 due north, the tourist can get to the Villa Francisco area from the airport in 25 minutes – just a 27-kilometre car drive. About 9 million passengers choose to travel through Southwest International every year. Recently, the airport had a makeover, and new safety standards were implemented. The LeeTran transit bus network connects the airport with other parts of the Lee County in Florida.

A second small airport known as Page Field (FMY) is designated as a ‘reliever airport’ for the Southwest International. Page Field is used when the primary airport is running at full capacity and cannot deal with the air traffic in the high season.

Even though the temperature remains pleasant in the summers, Fort Myers and the rest of Florida can get much rain. Therefore, it is best to visit the city from November to April to avoid the rainy season. During this period, the mid-day temperatures remain above 25°C. The nearby Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf of Mexico play an important part in dictating the weather patterns in Fort Myers. Please also note that the accommodation prices and airfares increase during this time as well. Your best chance for having an affordable trip to Fort Myers is by calling our agents at least four months in advance.
