Hello - used Brightline 3 weeks ago from Ft Lauderdale to Miami. Had the Premium ticket & like you said, it was an amazing experience! Terminal was spotless, had lunch in the Premium Lounge made it to Miami in about 40 minutes. Didn't use Uber but took the Brightline shuttle to the airport (hotel) and the shuttle driver was hilarious! It was a great experience & definitely looking forward to using Brightline again! All The Best!
Hey, thanks for watching! I’m so happy to read that it sounds like you had an equally wonderful experience - I was super impressed! Thanks a lot for supporting my channel by watching today! 😊
Thanks we going on cruise from FL Lauderdale but fly in orlando for 4 days and train looks 100% times better than drive down I 95 or the Turnpike and less stressful ❤
Oh, I’d really recommend the train. I drove the highway a few years ago, and found the train to be way more stress free. Give it a go - I doubt you’ll be disappointed. Thanks a lot for watching my channel!
Absolutely contagious excitement from you in this video! Although I live in Lisbon now, I moved here from Fort Lauderdale. Brightline is, hands down, the best train company running routes under eight hours anywhere in the world. They are also building in California/Nevada. Europe defintely has the best network, and I love their upcoming private and public companies giving passengers a wonderful ride. Thanks so much for showing people such a great way tot ravel in Florida.
Ahh, thanks so much for watching! I didn’t realise they were operating elsewhere - I’m going to need to keep watch for their services. If they’re offering elsewhere what they’re doing in Florida, I’d LOVE to support them! Thanks so much for watching, and thanks for taking the time to comment!
What a difference the Brightline rail is to British Rail, and also Amtrak! Good to know of this route. I am sure it will be useful for some Florida visitors. A good way to travel. Thank you.
Oh, I totally agree. I expected a ‘standard’ train, and was just so so impressed. Thanks a lot for watching, and for taking the time to leave a comment - really appreciate the support!
Thank YOU for watching! I was super impressed with the service - something that I think Florida has lacked for some time. Let’s hope they maintain the high standards I saw going forward!
Good timing, I'm just figuring out how I should get from the airport to my cruise. I'm debating saving money and taking tri rail or getting going to a nice ride on Brightline. Thanks for sharing the whole experience :)
Hey! It’s great that there are now a number of options, isn’t it? I really enjoyed Brightline, and found it to be decent value for money! Have the best trip, and thanks a lot for watching!
@FraserAtSea Do not get me started on Ayr Station/Station Hotel !!. When I see a nice train service, I always think it would be great for Glasgow to Southampton direct rather than the nonsense we have at present!
If they can eventually get this service to Tampa as planned, this will be fantastic for cruisers. It will give people a range of options with respect to airports to fly into. I don't think there is a stop at Coco Beach yet? But I expect it is only a matter of time.
Oh, this service connecting Tampa would be ideal - that would be great for cruisers! I’d actually consider using this instead of hiring a car going forward - I was just SO impressed!

Do you know do you get to the Fort Lauderdale Brightline station from FLL airport or Miami cruise port from the Brightline station? How did you let the Uber driver know the ride was free? Also, $47 (or $29) from Fort Lauderdale to Miami, but isn't Uber about $40 for the same trip?
Hey! So my journey was way better value to use Brightline compared to what Uber were charging on the day. I got a code from the Brightline guest services team to book the Uber with - that automatically applied the discount for me - I was SO impressed! I didn’t use the service from FLL, but it looks like another viewer had already answered for me 😊 Thanks a lot for watching!!
Great information 👍 Thank you! We are considering taking train from Orlando to Miami but our friends looked at and advised it was cheaper to hire a care and drive down. Any advice on this?

Brightline has a partnership with Uber and will schedule an Uber that corresponds with your start and finish of the train ride. When I took it last year it was $8 from stations to Port Miami. For W Palm, it was from the airport and it was $10. Always get the upgraded service especially if you might spend some time in the terminal waiting for the train. The upgrade gives you a good variety of food and beer included and was less expensive than eating at a restaurant in either location.

Rode Brightline Orlando to Ft Lauderdale for cruise. Fantastic experience. Love trains

About how much was it?
@@judyhale9024 really good value! You can get the prices on the Brightline website for your specific journey and dates! 😊
I really enjoyed this, thanks Fraser! Looks like a great way to go. I'm amazed at the stations!
Thanks so much, Tammy! I’d ride this again, without doubt!
Also, I’m also amazed at the stations. I hope the Floridians aren’t too disappointed with train travel in the U.K…
Very interesting! Thanks for taking us along. 👍
Thanks so much for coming with me! 😊
I really appreciate this video. I’m a solo traveler and like to learn about alternative transportation. I hope you had an excellent adventure!
Hi Robin! Glad to hear you enjoyed this one - always happy to share my experiences with other solo’s out there 😊 Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for this, we have a place in central Florida and would love to cruise out of Miami or Fort Lauderdale without the drive

Love this! Great video as always❣️I plan to take Brightline to and from Orlando in February. Thank you.🌞
Thanks so much, Regina! It’s a wonderful service - be sure to upgrade to that premium cabin if you can! 😊
Brilliant! This is so timely for my travels. 😊 This looks so lovely and just really NICE! Amtrak is sooo grotty in comparison. Thank you 😊
Ahh, I’m glad I’ve timed this well for you. Thanks for watching - happy travels!
best Brightline video/review I've seen so far Thanks
Thanks a lot for watching - really happy to hear you enjoyed!!
I’ve never seen a train station like that very posh Fraser 😻
Ha, neither had I - I was amazed! 🤩 😊
Looked like a fab set up Fraser, still fond of Scot Rail tho ! 😂 I saw no evidence of the Police Cruiser following you to the Radisson Red too ! 👍😉
Ha, I think I’d love to take a train like this from Glasgow down to Ayr 😂 that police cruiser comment on Patreon made me laugh so much!

Could you imagine if we had this in the UK.
I’d be on it constantly going to Glasgow 😂 Alas, I’ll need to put up with standing in the rain outside a grubby Costa 😂
How does the free Uber actually work? Do they give you some kind of code?
Hey! Good question - you get a code from the guest services team, and you just key that into your app. It’s super easy! :)
Do you know do you get to the Fort Lauderdale Brightline station from FLL airport or Miami cruise port from the Brightline station? How did you let the Uber driver know the ride was free? Also, $47 (or $29) from Fort Lauderdale to Miami, but isn't Uber about $40 for the same trip?
Brightline has a shuttle that picks up from FLL airport. $10 for first guest & $5 for additional guests traveling together.

We are considering taking train from Orlando to Miami but our friends looked at and advised it was cheaper to hire a care and drive down.
Any advice on this?
Are you planning to try this route?
Would love to see vlog on this route and get to cruiseport from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale or Port Canaveral 😀
Your vlogs are thorough and informative. Bravo 👏 👏 ❤

I live in Orlando and trust me, between tolls, fuel, insurance, and the stress of Florida drivers, brightline is way better.
Can you talk about ubering to station, taking train, then ubering from station vs just ubering/taxi/ride for cost and time.
Brightline has a partnership with Uber and will schedule an Uber that corresponds with your start and finish of the train ride. When I took it last year it was $8 from stations to Port Miami. For W Palm, it was from the airport and it was $10.
Always get the upgraded service especially if you might spend some time in the terminal waiting for the train. The upgrade gives you a good variety of food and beer included and was less expensive than eating at a restaurant in either location.
Minute 10....am I having an earthquake or you?? 😀
Ha, this made me laugh 😂
Donny in a broadcast speech called America a garbage can nation. MAGA how are we not all garbage.
