    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.

    To avoid the Concourse D international security nightmare, take a stroll down to Concourse E. The line is shorter and the concourses connect behind security.

    Global Entry is a must. So big, so heavily trafficked and so many gate changes. Awful.

    If you're looking for a fresh and delicious food selection go to icebox. The portobello panini was delicious!

    Don't go through the first AA concourse entrance, where only one scanning machine works and they pass every family with children ahead of you. Painful!

    If your a smoker/Vaper. Head to gate D36. Outdoor smoking area provided by TGI Friday!

    If you're flying American, upgrade to 1st class if possible - the extra $$$ you spend for the ticket is made worth it by not having to pay for checked luggage... plus comfy seats & hot towels!

    When they blast you with the backscatter, tell them about your enormous and amazing c•ck and that others have to pay to see it. Tell them you'll send the invoice to TSA.

    Airport experience had improved dramatically over the past few years. Stop by The Counter next to gate D33 to eat a custom built burger.

    Do yourself a favor and sign up for a GOES Pass - You will always get TSA Pre and if flying abroad, upon your return you can avoid long lines at customs!

    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

    Very few vegan options. Super lame for a city that has many vegan options. Subway and Jamba Juice is basically it.

    Getting to MIA rentals is a long walk and a train journey. Do not be misled by the breadcrumbs and raise your expectation that it is just around the corner

    Even though the signs direct you up to the skytrain, it's often faster and more pleasant just to walk along the concourse.

    Budget AT LEAST 45 minutes to get through security, even for domestic flights. The lines are ridiculously long; everyone (domestic and foreign) travelers were marveling at how long they were

    Not the best AirPort I’ve ever been. Foodcourt right after security is just about it. A few tax-free shops, so not many things to kill the time. Staff at the foodcourt and shops seemed bored.

    Much easier to fly out of here on any other airline but American. Look for cafe verseille for great coffee and pastries.

    Huge airport, with a lot of food options. Keep in mind that most gates you will have to take a sky train to. Give yourself plenty of time and avoid going anywhere near the airport during rush hour!!!

    Get there early because it takes some time to check in and go through security. The employees are in no rush to speed up the process.

    It needs to be updated. The chairs are awful. There should be hours of operations for the coffee shop. I saw other signs stating the hours and they didn’t have one. Missed a purchase because of this.

    I was in the military for 10 years and have been to a LOT of airports and this has got to be the dirtiest most outdated airport I've ever been to. I bet the Havana airport is in better condition.

    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.

    If you are not a US citizen give yourself multiple hours for a layover coming into the country. The line for passport control was absurdly long! I bet many of those folks missed their connections!

    Take the sky train. It's a train that will transport you through out concourse D. Or if you like you can walk the full concourse all 1.4 miles.

    This airport is not for the faint of heart, the disabled, or anyone running late. Expect a 20m wait minimum…regardless of your status, TSA Pre-Check, etc.
