Chris SpencerOctober 5, 2013Bring a book or something to amuse yourself with! Inbound Passport control takes hours 😉
Its a large airport but if you use The skytrain it Will help. Lots of new and improve stores you wont get bored
Take the Airport Express 150 Bus for $2.35. Incredibly diverse airport, but also quite unorganized. Arrive extra early.
You have to get to the gate early if you want to charge your device
Kaci VasquezMay 4, 2012If your like my goos friend Lora here get your smoke on before security and after baggage check in!
- Pamela DuffyDecember 11, 2011If you find an open chair, sit and don't move! Alternative is standing or sitting on the floor for hours.
Vanessa HalloumJanuary 2, 2014This is by far the most unorganized & under staffed airport I have ever been to. Immigration is a nightmare, no matter if u r a citizen, resident or visitor!
customs police... Well the Latina female and tsa are so rude... if I'm coming back from vacay don't have a snotty attitude to question me about my trip..Like I can't afford to travel...Tuh! Awful
The early mornings on Monday's is always busy so be prepared for long lines and get there early
If you have to fly into this 3rd world country go AA and run don't walk to nearest Admirals Club and buy a day pass!
Believe all the tips on this place. This place will really test your patience. If you can make it out of here succesfully, you can conquer the world.
David QuirkOctober 14, 2011I've traveled through lots of airports in my life and have to say MIA is one of, if not the, most confusing ones I've ever experienced...may just be American Airlines but they really seem disorganized
Thanks to Anastasia de la Cruz at LATAM Airlines for her great service!
lily meyerApril 5, 2015Fly United! ...but don't hang out in terminal G longer than you have to. It's weird here.
- Niklas WeinsOctober 14, 2014Immigration here can take ages... I really hope they'll open 2. Time ESTA here soon
Mike AlbaneseMarch 25, 2013The American Airlines international check in process is freaking brutal. Take some tips from southwest.
International to local connections are a nightmare. Endure you have a minimum of 2.5 hrs between arrival and departure.
Mew bag wrapping service is a rip off at $30! If you use them don't let them wrap the bags too tight, It jams the handles and wheels and then you will be in for a mission to get them to sort it out.
Ashley GibsonOctober 11, 2011This place is awesome. All the amenities you could want, I also hear it has patron!
It's kind of a metaphor for the city of Miami as a whole: busy, crowded, exotic people all around, growing too quick in a disorganized manner, more Spanish than English, and has a lot of potential.
Jim JamesFebruary 4, 2024The security process here is confusing. there are no signs to let you know. Checkpoint three is for regular checkpoint two for priority checkpoint one is for TSA precheck.
There's nothing good to eat. Your best options include McDonald's and some third-tier derivative of Applebee's.
Charging stations full? Some of the columns have hidden outlets.
If you plan on sleeping, don’t get the Cuban coffee 😜🔋
Caryn MoirMay 13, 2013Unlike other cities, Cab drivers don't all take credit cards, ask before you get in!
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.
Amy LapisardiApril 9, 2014Customs takes an insanely long time. Missed connections are common. Allow yourself a few hours.
Visit the American Admirals club. You never know what celebs are hiding out in there. Last time I saw the Matrix, err Lawrence Fishbourne
Avoid the Starbucks kiosks and hit up a Versailles or La Carreta for some amazing coffee [and great Cuban food too]. Get a pastelito while you're at it.
Terri JacksonMay 31, 2012G terminal. Pizza hut is cheaper than java hut, if all you want is a ref cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich.
Make sure you take good care of your stuff while going through the TSA. Belongings get lost fairly quick.
WELCOME! While in MIA enjoy Riazul Tequila! A premium sipping experience! Exclusively offered in Florida
Arkia AlstonDecember 6, 2011You have to try La Carreta! Get the Arroz Imperial. They give generous portions.
Mark MolléDecember 7, 2011The Counter @ Terminal 34 has a kick ass playlist but weak ass drinks. Still, mad props for playing Two of Us by the Beatles...we are indeed on our way home...
Always remember to arrive and stay drunk while at this airport... There is no other proven scientific alternative to survive your stay here...
