For your return trip back to the U.S., if departing from PBIA the next day, we suggest you make hotel arrangements at the Best Western in West Palm Beach.  On rare occasions, MFI does still land in West Palm Beach before returning back to Ft. Pierce.  This happens only when our plane arrives back in the U.S. after the Ft. Pierce customs office closes (7 p.m.), or when our airplane load is too large for the Ft. Pierce customs office to handle (more than 18 passengers).  The decision to land in West Palm Beach is usually not made until the departure time that day from the islands.  In the event that MFI is required to land in West Palm Beach, a reservation at the Best Western would avoid the need for a rental car from Ft. Pierce to West Palm Beach, since the Best Western can shuttle you from the West Palm customs building to the hotel.

STAY INN (in West Palm Beach):

MFI still has a corporate rate with the Stay Inn in West Palm Beach (formerly Best Western).  The Stay Inn DOES have a shuttle to and from the Palm Beach Airport, (6am-11pm) but NO shuttle service up to Ft. Pierce.  They have 135 rooms furnished with either two double beds or one king bed.  They have an unheated outdoor pool, high-speed wireless internet, and free Showtime.  A continental breakfast is available from 6am to 9am.  The Stay Inn works well for large groups that need to hire the Acadiana shuttle to transport them from West Palm to Ft. Pierce.  Acadiana can arrange for a pick up from the Stay Inn at 4:30 am and get you to Ft. Pierce by 6:00 am on the morning of the flight.  In that case, the 6 am continental breakfast would not be ready.  For your return trip back the U.S., the Stay Inn works well if you need to connect to an early morning flight out of PBIA.  On rare occasions MFI does still land in Palm Beach before returning back to Ft. Pierce.  This happens only when our plane arrives back in the US after Ft. Pierce customs closes (7 pm) or when our airplane load is too large for the Ft. Pierce customs office to handle (more than 18 passengers).  The decision to land in Palm Beach is usually not made until the departure time that day from the islands.  In the event that MFI is required to land at Palm Beach, a reservation at the Stay Inn would avoid the need for a rental car from Ft. Pierce to Palm Beach, since the Stay Inn could shuttle you from the West Palm Customs building to the hotel.  When making reservations please ask for the "Missionary Flights" rate.
