About
Arriving at Miami International Airport
Miami International is the primary gateway between the US and Latin America. American Airlines uses MIA as its largest international hub, with extensive service to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.
The airport has three terminals with multiple concourses. International arrivals funnel through customs in the North Terminal, which can be slow during peak hours when multiple flights from Latin America arrive simultaneously.
Pickup at MIA can be chaotic. The upper level is departures, lower level is arrivals. Traffic on the airport approach roads backs up regularly during evening peak hours.
Pickup tip
MIA pickup can be congested. Use the cell phone lot and wait for a landing text. International arrivals take significantly longer due to customs.
