    You gotta love Miami but you don't need to love this airport. It pretty rundown and janky. The shops & restaurants are weak too.

    Miami airport is huge. If you have connecting flights, make sure you have enough time to be able to make it to your terminal in time to not miss your flight.

    Large airport that is nice to fly out of because of food options and number of flights. Terminal D and E are connected airs ideal but aren't connected in the same manner to other terminals.

    Arrive there on time! Is a very big airport. Depending the terminal you are in, shopping and restaurant options may be very limited (concourse F for example) eat before or come prepare for a tiny pizz

    Don't forget the skywalk on the 3rd Fl #MIA, moving walkways can get you there in 1/2 the time... When they are working, LOL

    If you're getting a TAXI from MIA & want to pay with a credit card, ask the driver first. It's hard to believe in this day & age but most Miami cabs DON'T TAKE CREDIT CARDS.

    Rental car return is right at the airport no need to take a shuttle. This saves you a lot of time.

    If you fly American.... Make sure to get the frequent flyer miles program. Smooth sailing even with the delays. And they handled my car ride home! Gratis!

    If you are visiting, be sure to leave very early for your return flight in the morning. There is traffic in every direction.

    If you're a divorce lawyer, you should DEFINITELY call your clients and pace the gate area while you yell into the phone that they've "given her too much already." It will be fun for everyone.

    Sushi maki serves breakfast. Also have a breakfast sandwich to go. Eggs, ham, cheese on whole wheat toast. A healthy option among the pastries.

    Beautiful floors. Bad fashion. Smells like clogged arteries. Glad to have a 3 hour layover for the hike through. Makes me miss SFO international!

    Great shopping and lots of food choices. Keep an eye on the departure board because they like to change gates on you without telling you

    If your path takes you through Terminal H, be sure to check out the colorful Carybé Murals. And for those traveling via Concourse D, note that there is a Skytrain that shuttles passengers around.

    A big airport! Allow enough time to retrieve your rental car as it is a hike and tram ride away from the terminals!

    When you travel from the Miami airport, consider using Secure Wrap Baggage Protection Service. The blue wrap protects your bag from mishandling, damage and rain. It only cost $9 to wrap one bag and ki

    Half the moving walk ways are in disrepair. They are narrow anyways and hard to use with bags.

    Lots of traffic. Long lines at immigration. Make sure you get in with 2 hrs to spare at times. Enough food places to keep you busy.

    Neither Starbucks nor Au Bon Pain in terminal D serve hot breakfast. But Manchu Wok at gate D44 does, and they are very generous with the crispy bacon.

    Try the bathroom ride, its a new adventure every time. Don't forget to try the water faucets, which are something completely new to most people here.

    KuVa and La Carreta at Miami International airport best Cuban food! Trust me I work here and eat at these places all the time :)

    If you have a long layover, the #150 metrobus leaves from the airport and takes you to South Beach in 30 min. Leave extra time coming back in case there is traffic!!

    If you like strong black coffee, go to La Carreta (lower level) and ask for a Cuban Coffee. I ask with no sugar because it's too sweet for my taste. ONLY .85 (compare to a Starbucks espresso....)

    When picking up someone, don't park unless you absolutely must. Use the cell phone lot.

    Pay attention to the announcements. Sometimes your gate will change at the last minute and you'll only know when you look and everyone is gone.

    Solid airport. Easy and simple pickups. Departure can be annoying cuz of long security lines but besides that everything else goes smoothly.

    This airport has always been and continues to be a zoo. If you can avoid entering into the country via Miami, do it. If you have to use this airport, for Pete's sake come early and be flexible.

    For international flights use curb side check-in. You get bags checked faster, get your boarding pass, and you can head right to the security check, which is a guaranteed long line.

    They’re usually pretty fast. You’ve just gotta know which security lines to go to.

    If you're arriving on an international flight be prepared for a long hike to immigration. US citizens can ignore the form they give you in the plane...immigration a is all electronic now.

    Do yourself a favor and order a wine flight (or two) at Beaudevin in Terminal D (near gate 24). Also they have a great cheese plate and other light apps.
