LOCATION SPOTLIGHT: FILM FRIENDLY PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is a gem for filmmakers seeking a visually appealing location. The property offers productions the chance to capture scenes without impacting operations since the last flight is typically at midnight.

Even during daytime hours, public areas are open to film and television projects. These include baggage claim areas, spacious hallways, parking facilities, and a variety of shops and restaurants—essentially anywhere not past security.

With its secure gates, high walls, and concrete facades, PBI has convincingly doubled as a prison setting in past productions. Adding to its adaptability, the industrial-looking structure on the top floor of the parking garage provides an ideal backdrop for gritty crime scenes, chase sequences, or dramatic rooftop moments.

Notably, PBI hosted tennis icon Serena Williams for a high-profile music video shoot. Filmed on the plane-side tarmac with the air traffic control tower in view.

From its putt-putt area to the uncrowded atmosphere, PBI is more than just a gateway for travelers—it’s a ready-made set for filmmakers.
