Daytona Beach is served by Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB), a regional airport on Florida's east coast. It primarily caters to leisure arrivals, offering a limited selection of direct flights from major airline hubs and a handful of point-to-point leisure origins into Daytona Beach, with a notable presence from low-cost carrier Avelo Airlines.
The airport's most important routes are flights from key airline hubs to DAB that provide connections from broader networks to Daytona Beach. These include Atlanta (ATL) on Delta, Charlotte (CLT) on American, and Philadelphia (PHL) on American. Its unique service includes direct, low-cost point-to-point flights from destinations like Baltimore (BWI), Chicago (MDW), and New Haven (HVN) on Avelo into Daytona Beach, and seasonal services from other cities to DAB.

Avelo Airlines has established a base at Daytona Beach, providing low-cost service from the Northeastern and Midwestern U.S. into DAB. This mix offers options for both connectivity and budget leisure arrivals into Daytona Beach.

For a vastly wider range of origins and often more competitive pricing into the region, many travelers use Orlando International Airport (MCO), which is about a 1-hour drive away from Daytona Beach, and then drive to DAB. Orlando offers an immense network with all major and low-cost carriers. Always compare the total cost and convenience of flying directly to DAB versus flying to Orlando and driving to Daytona Beach.
