Miami (MIA)

As a primary hub for American Airlines and a major connection point for Latin American travel, it offers extensive facilities including high-end shopping, diverse dining options reflecting the city's Caribbean and Latin heritage, and numerous premium lounges. Passengers should arrive at least three hours before their cross-country departure due to the airport's high traffic volume and expansive terminal layout.
