Johanna SungMarch 21, 2016Budget AT LEAST 45 minutes to get through security, even for domestic flights. The lines are ridiculously long; everyone (domestic and foreign) travelers were marveling at how long they were
Susan HigleyJuly 12, 2013Great 2-3-2 seating . I have a few empty seats around me this morning. Heading to Dallas.
If your gate isn't ready you may have to sit and wait 20+ minutes until it is. You can turn on your phone but you can't use the lav.
Airport is constantly changing for the better! Stay in terminal D, great food and shopping. Ignore the haters!!
AlisonNovember 26, 2012If you have an early flight (6am) from the H terminal, head to the food court between terminals H and J for more food choices at this ungodly hour.
- Terminal E is a ice box. Easily in the lower 60's. We are going south and aren't wearing a lot. Dress warm.
Arrive early, check-in & security lines are usually long. Expect delays (arriving & departing) and pack necessities in your carry-on, they're known for losing luggage.
When you need to get to any D gate use the check point at the far end of the American ticket counters. Shorter line.
Donald J Armstead IIAugust 2, 2013United does not have a club here. US Airways does not have a club here. American has a club here but it is so far on the other side of the world, it might as well not be here.
Sometimes it's unnecessary to ride the tram in the AA terminal - even if the signage suggests it. Walking is oftentimes faster.
Prepare to do a lot of walking. On the other hand, it’s good exercise,
As of April 2013, give yourself at least 2 hours to clear immigration and customs. There are no special lines for connecting flights.
Teresa AsensioSeptember 4, 2015pls, be careful, i have founded in my account one ..... suscrip. periodica, ..... debited in my account, without have been given any authorization. Only i have bought some things.
anticipate extra long security lines....any day or the week.
The walk to the rental car building is waaaay long. Do yourself a favor and use the moving walkway.
If you have time, make sure to get food before you go through security. They have very little options and everything is always overpriced. Worst part of all, Gate G area has no alcohol for purchase.
Protip for designing an airport: Put up a sign, any sign, telling me where the taxis are. Good grief.
Stu PlattOctober 12, 2013The business lounge might sound like a good idea but at busy times its carnage.
Best tip is to avoid MIA if you can. It is a dysfunctional airport in every imaginable way.
Concourse G/F are awful. No food options, really low ceilings, it’s hot inside and it smells weird. Come prepared and be patient.
krisha mendozaJanuary 18, 2011if you randomly arrive early take the skytrain for a spin. also near gate 50D there is some create sea creature art!
Be proud to being Brazilian and know that the whole world loves you for it!
shaunaAugust 28, 2013If you have many luggages prepare to rent a cart for US $5. Credit cards accepted
Wear comfy shoes! Passport Services and Customs involves a train and 3 miles of walking.
José GodinhoApril 23, 2014Pile of crap! One has to walk for ages to get anywhere. The only decent part is La Carreta D20.
Kimberly BenjaminFebruary 21, 2012Wear better shoes than I did! Everything is a long hike at this huge airport. But, oh, how I love my shoes!
Nick PiescoJune 17, 2011You will land in Miami; but to get to passport control, you have to take a train to Fort Lauderdale and then walk to Fort Pierce.
Celebrity HotSpotsNovember 29, 2012As you pass through Miami International Airport on your next vacation, keep your eyes open—spotted celebs include Kanye West and Kim Kardashian!
Honestly one of the most sprawling, disorganized airports you will ever encounter. Expect long, slow security lines, a shuttle ride, and a lot of walking.
Mark ButterfieldJanuary 23, 2021It's a long walk to Gate H-15. Come early because TSA is slow then the long walk.
Check in, security and transfer to the gate was flawless today! Took only 20 minutes!
Barbie ColemanFebruary 22, 2011Make sure you're in the correct check-in at American Eagle. Not the same as American. And please be patient. Remember we all have somewhere to be and non of us wants to be at the airport.
Miami has been rated in the top 3 unfriendliest cities in the US. Maybe the sun has burned their sense away.
