Where can I make contact with a passenger flying today on Virgin arriving at gate J7?
On 3rd floor?

Hi Frank,
International arrivals will exit Customs on level 3 of Concourse J where you can greet them.

What is the distance between concourse J and the Greyhound bus stop for the airport?

Hi Terry,
Which bus stop is your service from? There are two near the airport – one at 4450 NW 20th St and one near the rental car center.

Can I use Mobile Passport when traveling next month? Coming from the Bahamas. When we arrived back in November 2020 from Grenada, they would not allow us to use Mobile Passport and had to wait in a long line with everyone else.

Hi Teresa,
As long as the Mobile Passport lane is open then yes you should be able to use it. But we do not have any affiliation with the MIA airport or Mobile Passport, so we cannot say for certain that it will be open.

I arrive from Panama at 2 pm at Miami International Airport (terminal South, J). How much time do I need to do customs, collect luggage and be on a flight to New York?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Monica,
That will largely depend on how long the customs and security lines are. You should most likely be fine as long as you have between 2-3 hours until your flight to NYC.

If I am traveling on a domestic flight to Miami on United, and then leaving on an international flight to the Caribbean on a Caribbean airline, what terminal will I most likely arrive at? What terminal will I leave from and how do I collect my luggage then get to the departure terminal?

Hi Anna,
You will likely arrive at Concourse G, which is within the Central Terminal. From there you will go to baggage claim to pick up your luggage and proceed to your next Concourse but I cannot estimate which Consorse it is likely to be without knowing the name of the airline you will be flying. If you let me know that I would be happy to give you an idea of which you might fly out of.

My husband and I will be arriving from Lima. We need to connect to MCI in AA (North Terminal) leaving at 09:26. We have requested wheelchairs as we are unable to walk long distances (68 and 78 years old) Do you think we will have time enough to check again as we have separate tickets? Many thanks in advance.

Hi Martha,
Yes, I anticipate that you will have more than enough time. Safe travels!

Arriving at 8:30 from Cancun at Terminal E and I have to go through customs, immigration, and cross to terminal J to check-in at another airline. That flight leaves at 12. Do you think I can make it? I asked for a wheelchair because I have an ankle problem.

Hi Vardit,
Yes, I think you will make it with plenty of time to spare. Safe travels!

Hi! I’m arriving to MIA from an international flight at 16:50 (Terminal J). Then connecting to a domestic flight to JFK with AA at 19:23. Do you think I’ll have enough time, considering I have to get through customs, check baggage again, etc?
Thanks!

Hi Diego,
Assuming your flight arrives on time and there are no major delays at customs, you should have enough time, but it will be close.
Safe travels!

OMG, this is a great guide. Why can’t airport websites have all of this information? Thank you!

I have lived in the Miami area for years every time I fly out or pick someone up from the airport nothing makes sense. I look on the airport site, the airline site, I use google maps and information, but always feel lost in my own town! Thank you for all the detailed thought and care you put into this, each airline, each terminal, each concourse, the skytrain just to name a few oh and even the lounges! When you ask people at the airport and what is printed on the ticket is different, which makes things so confusing, but you put it all together! Again thank you so much for all this information.

I will be landing in Concourse D for a Global Entry Interview. Will be cutting it close as the flight is landing 20 minutes before the interview is scheduled. Can I complete the Global Entry Interview in Concourse D instead of trekking all the way to concourse J? Thanks!

We are picking up passengers from British Airways today flight (BA1525) and were wondering the best area to park to be closest to where they are arriving. We will probably want to use short term parking to wait for them.

The cell phone waiting lot has 60 spaces that friends and family can use to wait in until they receive a call from the passenger. The lot is located close to the airport just off LeJeune Road and NW 31 Street.
