    I liked the fact that you could fill your own drinks, we don't know that in Cape Town

    If your luggage got inspection and was not open by a knife, it is your lucky day. It might happen even if standard opening zippers are available.

    Before listeni.g to those AA dudes at the curbside and give them a tip for checking your one extra little bag that is "too big", check out the lines inside first. They may be empty

    When they say you landed 15 minutes early, it usually means you are about to go for 15 min unguided tour of the runway... Make that 25 min. Bienvenido a Miami

    Immigration at F pier for arrivals is being renovated (2012-2013), you will now enter at D. If you land at E, F or G hop on a shuttle cart! It is a long walk

    If you're traveling AA out of a D gate check out the other security checkpoints in the central terminal area - at 6 am hardly anybody there compared to the chaos at terminal D.

    Every time I fly back in my country thru Miami I feel like I am in the rudest country of all. From customs to restaurants. Every single security person here treats people like we are a flock of sheep.

    Whoever designed this place must have failed "Airport 101" in school. The rental car offices are half way to FLL, & all of the services are decentralized.

    Missed connections going out are an issue so definitely book flights with enough time in between.

    Heading to South Beach? Take the 150 Flyer bus for $2.35. Find the bus transit station at the ground level (btw Concourse "D" & "E"). Trip is usually less than 30 min.

    Be sure to opt out of the millimeter wave scanner for an enjoyable pat-down. Gentle cupping followed by a smooth stroke! Don't forget that the clothing optional service is extra.

    Terminal4 is MIAs best kept secret for speedy TSA access. Only a few Cont flights means it's never crowded!!!

    If you haven't had any action for awhile, opt out of the full body scanner. They'll find areas on you that you didn't know you had!

    If you do frequent International travel, do yourself a favor, invest the $100 for 5-year eligibility for the "Global Entry" (Trusted Traveler) program. You can reduce your Customs check-in time by 99%

    Another city that doesn't mandate taxis to accept credit card payments. Stood outside for ten minutes after a 5 hour flight and runway experience. Lets see some progress, County Commission.

    If you like strong black coffee, go to La Carreta (lower level) and ask for a Cuban Coffee. I ask with no sugar because it's too sweet for my taste. ONLY .85 (compare to a Starbucks espresso....)

    TSA agents communicate effectively and help keep things moving along so you're not stuck on an unnecessarily long line.

    If you're coming from Rt. 1 North, you no longer need to drive onto i-287 or i-95. Head straight down & you'll see a EWR Airport sign to merge onto the ramp (on your right)!

    Want to avoid awkwardly asking random people if they got off the flight you're waiting for? Subtly glance at the flight number tagged on their bags 😉

    Solid airport. Easy and simple pickups. Departure can be annoying cuz of long security lines but besides that everything else goes smoothly.

    Taking the metrorail is well worth it. Saves money. Saves times and the best part is no traffic. ^_^

    New baggage/security "regulation." only 2 containers/bags p/p. If you have 2 + your pillow or lunch- no matter the size- you could get stopped at security and forced to start over at airline counter.

    TSA pre-check line is absolutely worth it the first time you see lines extending out the doors, and anytime you're running late!

    If you are traveling today -Easter 2012- It's very hectic. Come early and be calm. I've never seen so much chaos. It's actually unnerving.
