There is simply nothing to do at the airport, everything is gray, dull and incredibly boring. ATMs are cleverly made- you can withdraw no more than $ 200 with a commission, of course
A large and convenient airport.
It is better to arrive in advance because a long TSA.

The most important thing is that you are in Miami, the rest is not important.

The airport is simple, you won't get lost, the only thing that infuriates is the air conditioners are terribly cold at the airport, you can understand the stuffy bath in the city.. and of course hot tea is not sold everywhere ... Only cold.. at night, only the subway works inside the airport
The airport is quite old, especially compared to LAX or other popular places. The configuration did not seem very convenient with long sectors. In the evening, most shops may be closed and the airport is dying out, so it can be quite boring for passengers with late departures
Somehow, the flight from Miami to Moscow was postponed for a couple of days and the flight got right on the birthday. I had to arrange salads, cakes and California wine on suitcases at Miami airport and run through cafes in search of a corkscrew (the wine, by the way, opened without a corkscrew). It was fun. Passing passengers smiled and congratulated. Thanks to this event, Miami Airport left good impressions and memories. Upon returning to Moscow, I had to celebrate my birthday again, because time had shifted.
The airport is somewhat illogical compared to Sheremetyevo. Duty free to passport control and a sterile area. Why is he needed there? People are eager to get to the waiting room as soon as possible, and there are three eateries and two small shops of booze and perfume, THAT's IT! The parking lot in front of the airport is packed to the fourth floor. It's a long way from the parking lot to the departure lounge. There is no point in arriving earlier than 3 hours, your flight will not be on the departure board. There are many departure halls for domestic flights, with automatic registration, this is not provided for foreign flights. If you do not speak English, it will be difficult to find a departure hall abroad, there are few information posters. There are few booths for border guards, especially on arrival flights. The queue is like at Magdonalds on Tverskaya Street immediately after opening in the 90s! In general, there is something to work on. And I did not expect Sheremetyevo to be much better!
A very large airport, many terminals, treadmills, places to wait for your flight, signs and other information. Quick check-in for direct flights. But last time, when I flew from Miami to Moscow via London, there was one huge queue for all connecting flights, I managed to get right next to my flight. In addition, they check suitcases for a long time, open them and rummage through them. That's why you don't have time to look into Duty Free.
A very sad airport! First we checked in, then we stood in line at the gate for 40 minutes...and when we went there, they announced to us that we had to move to another exit...and the essence of the problem is that it was necessary to go back out, and spend another 40 minutes of time to go into another one! And duty free is a separate topic! When you enter your gate, there is minimal choice! You can buy something substantial when entering the airport, but they don't give it to you, but you get it before entering the plane. Okay, if it's candy and alcohol...and if it's an iPhone...and if the boarding gate is changed....of course, I do not advise you to leave your purchases on duty free!
The highest standard of living seen, but expensive relative to Russia and many European countries. Stories about dirty streets, poor illegals and other things are full of lies, everything is clean, well-groomed and safe, the so-called illegals and the poor look better than our brother. The lack of public transport is a problem if you do not have the means to rent a car or taxi, or simply do not have a license and do not know how to drive, but you need to understand that this place is mainly for wealthy people who go there to spend a lot of money. The overall impression is definitely positive, great weather, clean beaches, beautiful ocean, delicious food.
It is possible to pass the control from and to the airport quickly enough. This is very cool. And this is despite the fact that the airport is very busy. Separate business lounge for Priority, separate for business class tickets. The food and drinks are satisfactory. Overall, everything is fine.
Easy navigation, it is clear what is where. There are also several car rental companies and you leave the building by car. There was a huge queue for customs clearance (the passage took about an hour and a half), but the staff tried to disperse it more or less.
The airport is not the best’ Business lounge was closed! Duty free is small and they give out purchases before boarding the plane. For a megacity like Miami, everything should be better. But this is probably the biggest disadvantage, and not the most important one, when visiting the USA. Everything else 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The worst airport I've ever been to. The use of technologies from one queue made 2. Result:3 Hours spent. There were even people with babies in the queue, there were no preferences for them. The friends who arrived the next day stayed for 4 hours. So, if you arrive at this airport, then be patient.
Big, not to say modern, but rather the opposite. You have to walk a lot, especially if it is a transit terminal and you arrive and have to go to another terminal. In the business lounge that serves flights to Russia, the service and assortment are zero. Cheap swill and a complete lack of proper food.
