Miami International Airport is one of the world’s busiest airports, handling over 33 million passengers in 2007 and served by over 80 airlines linking over 150 national and international destinations.
Miami International Airport is just 15km west of central Miami. To get there from downtown Miami follow the I-95 north to SR836 West, taking the exit at LeJeune Road northbound (NW 42 Avenue). From the north you need to take the I-95 south to SR112, continuing to the slip road to the airport. From the southwest take the SR826 north and exit at LeJeune Road northbound (NW 42 Avenue).
The main terminal is semicircular in shape with eight pier-shaped concourses numbered A through J (excluding B which was demolished a few years ago) in a counter-clockwise direction. Ticketing and departures are located on the upper level and baggage carousels are on the lower level.
Miami Airport has three customs arrival levels: on the third floor at Concourse J and the now demolished Concourse B, and at the lower level of Concourse E. Gates which are located in Concourses A-F, H and J route arriving passengers to the main level (for domestic arrivals) or to the immigration halls for international arrivals. Gates at Concourse G and some at Concourse H are used only for domestic arrivals.
