Be prepared to walk...and walk....and walk! Six gate changes for one flight!
If you need to get an Uber from here, cheapest pickup location is at the tri rail. Follow the signs there and beat the system 👍
“La Carreta” it's a really nice place for sandwiches. Near to the gate D30 grab the Cuban a typical Florida's one. Also a bag of plateen sliced chips!!
MismiDecember 14, 2013If you want beach and party, try to find hotel near to Lincon Road, very nice street!! And if you like shopping, the mall in Orlando are cheaper even than duty free ;)
Lorryn Z.November 9, 2018This airport is huge, allow plenty of time. Also, come hungry because there are a ton of great restaurants here!
Get your ass here early...follow the 2-hour recommended arrival time before your flight. You never know....signed: #RoadWarrior
When leaving the car rental lot the concrete messes with the gps and everyone gets on the road and has to slow down or stop before the first intersection to wait for the satellites to catch up. :-)
Lucretia PruittNovember 28, 2014If you are cruising or leaving in the evening, the hotel by E concourse has a day rate from 10-6p. Worth every penny. Quiet, comfy beds, dark and chill.
If traveling during American holidays give yourself at least 2 hours minimum, safer bet is 2.5 hours! American Airlines terminal is the best! So much variety you’ll never be bored!
Nice Airport. TSA PRE lane on terminal D took just 3 minutes to get thru. Cafe Versailles is Da Bomb! Order a Medianoche and Cafecito anytime, can't miss. The American Express Centurion Lounge...
Want a quick cafe con leche, pastelito to go b4 u board? Cuban cafe - creatively spelled "KU-VA" is just what your tastebuds are asking for. Buen Provecho! Enjoy!
Alex SalyukovFebruary 6, 2017Check in at domestics flight is very fast! There aren't queues! Convenient and comfortable airport! Everyone may trying rom or tequila go free;)
Travel ChannelDecember 5, 2011Getting into the city of Miami from the airport is cheap... and you can be at the beach in less than 30 minutes! As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.
One of the best airports I’ve visited lots of good places to eat especially the Caribbean restaurant with the crab soup. Stay away from the empanada store food sucks
DRAZApril 5, 2018If u are travelling internationally and u get a tsa pre check pass for ur connecting flight u might want to eye the line as the non pre check might be faster in this airport zoo...
Lainy MejiaSeptember 25, 2014KuVa 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're hungry and not feeling any fast food places... Go to La Carreta by gate D37. Order Ropa Vieja and thank me later. ;)
If you're flying out of Concourse D (and have time to kill) go to the end of the terminal btwn gates 1-24 for a fantastic selection of shopping & food. Ice Box Cafe is a MUST, especially the breakfast
Ads DigsJune 22, 2016Smokers: go to TGI Fridays across from Gate 36. They have an outdoor bar to smoke and get some sun between flight!✈️🚬✈️
Love the airport! Great people watching and it's improved a lot over the years. Seems like there's been construction going on since it opened. Lol!!
only airport in the states that has decent food. Off to la Carreta. If you've never had it, order medianoche, sandwich cubano, pan con bistek, maduros fritos, tostones, croquetas, congris (moros y cr
Richard LotzNovember 6, 2014Entertain yourself on the moving walkway with a bouncy playground surface. You'll need it during the hike from the terminals to the rental car or metro rail building.
James UnderbergFebruary 20, 2016Love the shopping ! Good food court and the Delta Club is well placed and nicely done !
And please, people, travel light with the carryons, hv slip off shoes, don't wear belts or jewelry, put it all on AFTER you go thru TSA... don't people know this yet!?!?!?!? Need line for peepslikeme!
Laura De ArmasMarch 9, 2015Airfrance is available at 6:00 a.m. I highly recommend you to go to Gilbert's Bakery for a hot chocolate with cinnamon ☕️ #Yumm
- Friendly staff in immigration. Free wifi, turn your step monitor or RunKeeper on if you're going to get rental car... You'll add tons to your steps.... I promise!
Harumi UMarch 15, 2015Count on delays, hold ups and your having to move from furthest gate to another. If you have to transit (to go central and Latin American, many of you probably do) make sure to factor that time in
Zen TokaiJune 18, 2016It's always a pleasure to pass over this airport. Very comfortable, clean, free wifi, and starbucks!😂
Lisa StarbucksNovember 16, 2014If you have a visa waiver - go to the machines at the right hand side. You just need your passport and the machine recognised you. The queue there is much shorter!!
From baggage claim, go the the 3rd floor and follow the signs for car rental. You get to ride a train!
Check prices from Fort Lauderdale if you're flying nationally, FLL is usually way cheaper!! And just 23 dolar share ride away (and the shared rides from there are allways almost empty!!)

Mimi UkwuaniMay 29, 2013Landing at Terminal D especially with international flights, there is a lot of walking, lines, people, checkpoints, & security AGAIN (as if you went to some place in between your last airport and MIA)- It's so hot here everyone wears a bikini or thong. But they travel with 3 giant, overstuffed bags per person. What is everyone carrying?!??
David AdamsJune 23, 2013Sign up for TSA pre screening on your airline website. There is never a line, I don't have to take off shoes or remove the laptop. It saves me easily 20 minutes waiting in line for regular screening.- AA’s PreCheck only lane always gets me through in under 10 minutes. Otherwise, concourse E is the fastest line. Avoid concourse D lines, they’re always the longest.
Diana EspitiaOctober 9, 2012I like the airport organization and really nice design!!! If you have the time have a coffee and just watch people to pass by... U will laugh !!!!!
When you get to baggage claim, go straight outside and grab a free Smartecart and save yourself 5 bucks. People that get taxis, Supershuttle, or picked up, leave them on the curb.
LAN and TAM Airlines are the best for travel to South America - amazing wines, food and in flight entertainment on all classes for intl flights
Is good to travel! And if you go international duty free is always a nice perk!
Great airport! I liked it a lot, it's clean and in good conditions. I loved the skytrain as well! I'm looking forward to come back :)
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.
Use a different airport if you can. The cellphone lot is hard to find, but handy. You can also park short term for cheap. SunPass works for parking.
Kiara MarchJanuary 7, 2016Arrive 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
Hungry? La Carreta has delicious Cuban food to go! :)
Antonio OrosaDecember 27, 2011Get to the airport early!!.. So you can take a break from your airport hike by stopping at La Carreta.. trust me, it'll be worth it!
Corrie Francis ParksMarch 4, 2014If 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!!
