Making your way to Miami International Airport

Miami International Airport is frankly enormous by any measure: it is one of the largest and busiest airports in America and a crucial transit hub for the entire country. While MIA technically has only one terminal, navigating the various concourses can be a challenge. The Main Terminal is divided into three sections, confusingly also called Terminals as follows:

The North Terminal is home to concourse D, which is 1.2 miles long. There’s also a free people mover to connect passengers to four stations along the length of the concourse.

The Central Terminal is made up of three concourses: E, F, and G, while the South Terminal consists of two concourses, H and J.

There is limited free WiFi at Miami International, with a small list of travel-related websites available. If you want unrestricted and unlimited WiFi the rates are $7.95 for 24 continuous hours or $4.95 for the first 30 minutes.

There are many public transit options available to the airport, depending on where you’re originating Miami. The Miami Intermodal center is home to the bus station, the Airport Metrorail station and the Tri-Rail terminal. It is connected to the airport by the free MIA Mover.

Arriving in Tampa

The biggest deal in Tampa is Busch Gardens, a combination zoo and adventure park, with some extreme and innovative thrill rides and rollercoasters. When you’ve had enough adrenaline, cool down with a visit to the Florida Aquarium, which 20,000 species of plants and animals call home. The polar bear and shark exhibits are not to be missed. For dining and nightlife, head down to the historic and beautifully restored Ybor city district. And of course, this being Florida, a good beach is never far away. Try Clearwater, which is just a 30-minute drive across the bay.
