Travel Tips
Fly midweek for the best fares
Tuesday and Wednesday departures to Miami are consistently significantly cheaper than Friday/Sunday flights. The snowbird crowd travels on weekends, so midweek offers both lower fares and less airport congestion.
Consider Fort Lauderdale (FLL)
FLL often has fares $30–80 cheaper than MIA on the same dates thanks to strong ULCC competition (Frontier, JetBlue). The 45-minute drive to South Beach is easy via I-95, and many hotels offer FLL shuttle service.
Book during hurricane season for deals
September–November is technically hurricane season, but direct hits on Miami are rare. Airlines and hotels slash prices during this period. Travel insurance ($30–50) provides peace of mind for minimal cost.
Use the Brightline train
If flying into FLL, the Brightline high-speed train connects Fort Lauderdale to downtown Miami in 30 minutes ($15–25). It's faster than driving during rush hour and drops you in the heart of Brickell.
Pack light on budget carriers
Frontier offers some of the lowest base fares to Miami but charges for everything. Travel carry-on only and you'll often beat full-service airline prices by $40–80 each way.
