Get ready for a seamless departure from Miami International Airport (MIA), one of the busiest and most connected airports in the United States of America. Since it's only a short distance from downtown Miami, there are plenty of convenient transport options for reaching MIA.
Take the Metrorail, Metrobus, Tri-Rail or Greyhound, all connecting through the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). The MIA Mover, an automated system for transporting passengers, links the terminals to the MIC. This way, it makes transfers between trains, buses and the airport quick and efficient. Taxis and rideshare services are available throughout the city, with dedicated pick-up and drop-off zones at the terminals. If you’re driving, choose from a range of parking bays. These include short-term and long-term spaces, plus valet parking in the Dolphin and Flamingo garages, both located close to the terminals.
Inside the airport, follow the clear signage to find your check-in counter, pass through security and get to your boarding gate. Enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi, charging stations, and family-friendly amenities such as play areas and baby care facilities. Browse a wide selection of shops filled with travel essentials, electronics and gifts, or indulge in a delicious meal at one of the many restaurants.
