About Miami International Airport
Miami International Airport (IATA: MIA, ICAO: KMIA) sits about eight miles northwest of downtown Miami in unincorporated Miami-Dade County. It is the busiest airport in Florida by international passenger traffic, the leading U.S. airport for international freight, and the primary hub for American Airlines' Latin American operations.
MIA's three terminals — North (D), Central (E, F, G), and South (H, J) — are arranged in a single horseshoe building stretching nearly two miles end-to-end. The Skytrain connects gates D1 to D60 along the North Terminal, while the MIA Mover automated train links the central terminals to the Miami Intermodal Center, where the Rental Car Center, Metrorail, Tri-Rail, and Greyhound all meet under one roof.
For travelers, that means MIA can be navigated quickly once you know which terminal your airline uses and which transit option fits your destination. This guide is built around that fact: every page focuses on one decision, one terminal, one route, or one service — so you can plan your arrival in five minutes and spend the rest of your time enjoying Miami.
