About this route
Los Angeles to Miami flights
Los Angeles to Miami connects the two largest coastal metros in the country, spanning nearly 2,350 miles across the Sun Belt. American Airlines dominates as MIA is its Latin American hub, while Delta, JetBlue, and Spirit add competition on what is one of the longest domestic routes.
The 3-hour timezone difference means westbound flights from Miami appear to arrive at nearly the same local time they departed, while eastbound flights from LA seem to consume the entire day. MIA's busy international arrivals can spill over and affect domestic gate availability, making landing alerts useful for pickup timing.
