Make sure you take good care of your stuff while going through the TSA. Belongings get lost fairly quick.
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
Caryn MoirMay 13, 2013Unlike other cities, Cab drivers don't all take credit cards, ask before you get in!
Kristi Sommer RotellaJanuary 23If you’re not flying American Airlines take the far right driving lane around the departure lanes to reach most other airlines.
DoubleTree by Hilton ManagerSeptember 22, 2011When choosing your travel outfit, less is more. Avoid wearing clothing, jewelry or other accessories that contain metal when traveling to cut your time barefoot in the security line.
Have an extended layover? Take the Airport Flyer (150) bus to South Beach. About 30 minutes & $2.35 each way! Get off at Lincoln & Washington. Just beware the security line upon your return. Nasty.
Patricio L.October 13, 2013One huge airport, the airlines are well distributed so you can't get lost.
From the signage inside and out to the MIA Mover to the perpetually-under-construction roads, this is one of the most poorly designed airports in North America.
If you're visiting MIA, get cash before the taxi stand, most cabs don't take cards.
Jake RedmanOctober 22, 2015The D Terminal is long but if your gate is less than one skytrain stop away it's walkable.
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!
The low numbered D gates (D1 - D11) are really, really far from security. It is an honest 15 minute walk to get here. Allow plenty of time (or run!)
Brian ChildressJuly 31, 2011Do not take 3 shots before you get on a plane from Key West to MIA. This guy just discovered it can get a little CHOPPY!
Brandy DillardMay 2, 2017Don't wear a skirt because tsa will assume you're smuggling drugs and subject you to a RANDOM search.
Make sure you have a 'cortadito' at Versailles before you leave or when you land. Viva el cafe cubano!
Brian IbarraOctober 22, 2014Wifi is sort of available but no electrical outlets other than the ones provided that clearly don't meet the demands lol
TSA precheck is the only way to get through security checkpoint H efficiently.
Jesse DNovember 1, 2013Never, ever, select any kind of American Air upgrade whatsoever- it's a scam. EX: the checkin kiosk says $80 to upgrade to 1st class. But, once u pay it turns out it is only to put u on standby list.
Federico MasiniMay 17, 2013The wifi only works for iMessenger or 4square... if you try to search sth on google or facebook you have to pay!!! (?)
✅ Arrive early, bring your patients, be nice, watch your stuff. ✈
Maybe 1 in 10 cabs take credit cards. It's like going back in time.
Be sweet with all the staff and they will treat you well.
Eric WApril 6, 2013If you're going from the AA terminal to LAN terminal, it looks like I could have cut across level 3 of the parking lot for a shortcut.
Ross GuthrieDecember 19, 2010Directories are the mist informative & easy to read I have ever seen. Quick ads in the middle even highlight on map where place is.
If u have time b4 yur flt, stop by Anglelos Beauty Shop for some pre-flight pampering. Mani, pedi, haircut, waxing & prices r reasonable!!!!
Rental car train to airport is great. Super convenient!
Connect to WiFi provided by Admirals Club, I got it next to the gate D39
Great shopping but, plan to wait on security if you travel international- whenifly.comDecember 30, 2013What's you biggest complaint with MIA? Let us know and we will make sure you opinion gets across to your airport! Vote here : Read more
Rob WoodsOctober 31, 2013Leave lots of extra time to get to your gate. One of the worst laid out airports ever. Like a long snake. If you get on / off near the end you have miles to go to or from your gate.
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!
Sergio C.December 21, 2012Got an early flight on American Airlines? Ticketing and boarding pass printing starts at 4 am but TSA security doesnt start until 430 am.
TSA is just as at any other airport but they got good food options. Some terminals are better than others just like any other airport. Be prepared to walk though.
