Miami Airport-Time

[Yvonne]

coming back? that might be pushing it - walk from the plane to customs area - then no telling how long the line will be - get suitcases - recheck suitcases - and then at miami airport - you're out on the street - literally - have to go back in - recheck through security - find your gate

Agree. On the way down, maybe OK. On the return, not so much. I usually have a few hours - not so much by choice but by AA flight schedule - when I go through MIA. This summer I took different flights on the way home & had just over 90 minutes. It was close & very stressful. I know the drill so I know where to go, I MOVE it... no easy pace walking. Often it can take 30 minutes alone to get your luggage once you've cleared immigration. Then there's the pesky security check line... another delay. This trip I made it to the gate just in time for boarding but that was because I really hustle & the luggage came quickly for a change. There was no time to grab any decent food (I'm picky) so I was so hungry I ached. I tried this vs a 4 hour layover. Would I do it again? Probably not. I'd rather endure the noise of the huddled masses & read, feel more relaxed. I have to admit, it was nice getting home at a decent hour vs my usual 2 a.m. walking in the door.
