As I was handing my wife her drink while waiting for our flight to be available for boarding, the coffee cup I was holding failed catastrophically. I went to the nearest airport employee (who was standing with his hands behind his back doing nothing) and asked if he could call custodial services for the spill. He said "that's not my job. You have to talk to the counter people." I went to the counter, waited several minutes to be acknowledged, and asked again. The response was "This isn't our gate and it's not our problem." There was a wet floor sign leaning against the wall next to him and I asked him to hand it to me. You'd have thought I'd just handed him a bag of week old lunch meat based on the look on his face. He handed me the sign, and I placed it at the spill, then got us moved to a different spot.

I've been flying out of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport since I was a kid, so I know it well--and it still holds up. I've been through plenty of airports across Florida, and I'll say it straight: Fort Lauderdale and Miami International Airport consistently have some of the BEST flight prices. If you're trying to travel without getting financially humbled, this is where you want to be. Period. Now that I've moved further up the coast, I regret it every single time I search for flights and see the price difference. It's painful. Like...why did I do this to myself? And let's be honest--Florida's gotten a lot more crowded lately, and not exactly in a charming way. But if you can deal with that and just focus on getting a solid deal, this airport is absolutely clutch. And if you're flying international, Miami is close enough to keep your options wide open without too much extra effort. Bottom line: cheaper flights, easy layout, and still one of the best airports in South Florida to fly out of. If saving money matters to you, it's worth the drive. The only downfall is they keep raising the prices for the parking garage. It is ridiculous and I'm thankful I have a girlfriend near by where I can leave my car.

While very easy to navigate, things change nearly every single time I've stopped in, and I'm here a lot. On this particular visit, it seemed like every single person working in customer service did not want to be at work today, and I get it. I'm a flight attendant, I know social batteries can be drained from constant interactions with customers. Anyway, there are ample shopping opportunities, food choices, and plenty of places to sit. But they need to fix the ac, cause it's always hot as heck lol. Otherwise, it's an airport ‍

We had no issues here during our recent trip to Miami. From a functional standpoint, I think it's fine. The longest line occurred when checking our bags. The line was so long inside that we actually went back outside and did curbside check-in. Even the employees there commented to each other that they had never seen curbside check-in so busy. Security was good (granted, we used CLEAR+ with TSA PreCheck) and the Delta Sky Club in the H-J Connector is nice. Concourses H and J are connected and part of MIA's more compact and navigable South Terminal.

It consists of 13 gates and is easily accessible to Concourse J (also part of the South terminal) by walking airside. The main carrier at this concourse is Delta, though United (which has a very limited presence here) and budget carriers Frontier and Spirit use it as well. Concourse J nearby services non-OneWorld international airlines like Copa, Caribbean Airlines, and Air Canada. The South Terminal has its own baggage claim area. One must exit to baggage claims (i.e. go landside) to be able to access the other terminals. Since American Airlines is the major carrier at MIA, I had to do exactly that to meet my brother (who was flying American). It can be done all inside (important since this is Miami), but it was a bit of a walk.

The airport itself is geared towards business & military. Besides the Coast Guard Air Station, there are at least 3 private aviation terminals - the FBO's Drake refers to in his magnum opus "Sicko Mode" (translation: terminals for private jets.) I also vaguely remember having been to an air show here back in 1988 when I was yay tall. Back to the present day, the Miami Dade Aviation Department hosted one of their "Runway 5K / 10K races " on one of the runways. I ran the 10K, keeping a 10:20 minute/mile pace. The race was run on the concrete runways and taxiways (the two loops). This was a perfectly smooth surface to run. There were various water stations along the course. A few things could have been improved. I saw pictures of last year's race and they had a few displays that let people get closer to the planes for photo opps. That would have been fun! Likewise, the post-race snack area was broken down between 5K and 10K. Even at the the 10K area, we were limited to just two items and they didn't have bananas (great for recovery.)

We ate at Estefan Kitchen Express, Half Moon Empanadas, and Manchu Wok, and the foods, drinks, and service were fine. The only problem that we had was that the gate for our departing flight was changed a couple of times, and we had to pay close attention to the loudspeakers to find out the gate and then to walk a lot.

Second, after immigration, you need to go through customs and another security check that then separates you by your passport (US and non-US). The lines varies a lot. But this can add another 20-40 mins. Third, once you're finally out, the food here was by far the worse. I got a sandwich -called a Cuban sandwich - and it almost broke my teeth. It was so hard that I was confused why the bread was a brick. $19 down the drain.
