The city of Miami has many unofficial names and well-deserved statuses. It is called the beach capital of the United States, it closes the top four most densely populated urban areas in the country and is famous not only for a large number of beaches, nightclubs and restaurants, but also for the most powerful concentration of international banks and global companies in the United States. However, an ordinary tourist is looking for an answer to the question of how to get to Miami, not at all because of the regalia and degrees of importance of the resort. His main desire is to see Atlantic beaches with green palm trees, to feel at the top of bliss, sipping cold "margarita" on the sea sand, and, emerging from the ocean waves, plunge headlong into a fascinating and profitable shopping, which is unlikely to be found anywhere in the world.
Choosing wings
Direct regular flights to Miami from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport are on the schedule of the Russian airline Aeroflot. Traditionally, direct flights are more expensive than connecting flights, and the flagship of Russian passenger aviation is no exception in this sense. For a Moscow - Miami ticket, even if you book 2-3 months in advance, you will be asked to pay 800 or more dollars. You can get to Miami by direct plane in 11-12 hours.
You will have to pay much less for a connecting flight. In this case, you can fly from Moscow to Miami on the sides of a variety of air carriers:
- Traditionally pleasant prices from the French and the Dutch, now united by a single holding. Air France and KLM fly from Moscow to Miami via Paris and Amsterdam, respectively. Round-trip tickets start at $ 550. The journey takes about 13-14 hours plus connecting.
- British Airways transport passengers from the Russian capital to the American beachfront via London Heathrow Airport. Early booking tickets cost $ 560.
- Alitalia also fly to Miami. But in the case of a flight with Italian airlines, you will have to agree to two connections - in Milan and New York. The issue price is $ 570.
Please note that connections in London are usually long. If you choose to fly with British Airways, take care of obtaining a UK transit visa.
When flying to Miami via New York, Atlanta and any other airport in the United States, prepare to go through border control and customs clearance in that city. There are no transit zones at US airports, and border guards meet passengers at the very first boarding point. There you will have to collect your baggage and check it in again for the next flight segment. Consider these circumstances when planning your docking and allow enough time for all the formalities!
How to get to Miami from the airport
The vast majority of international transatlantic flights arrive at Miami airport, located two dozen kilometers west of the resort area. You can get to the city to the selected hotel by taxi or public transport:
- In Terminal E, on the ground floor, there is a bus stop between the airport and the city. The required bus route numbers are 7, 37, 57, 133 and 236. The fare is $ 2.
- A taxi will take you to downtown Miami for $ 20. If you use the services of electronic applications and call a car using taxi services, the trip will be cheaper. Do not forget that in the USA it is customary to tip taxi drivers 10-15% of the order value.
Miami Airport has a large number of car rental services. Here are the most popular car rental companies in the country and in the world, and therefore you can easily get to Miami and the beaches from the airport while driving.
To the beaches of Miami from the Big Apple
It often happens that airlines in Europe and the world arrange ticket sales at very attractive prices. New York is invariably featured on the list of destinations in such promotions. Taking advantage of the offers, you can get to the "capital of the world" for $ 300 or even cheaper, and therefore your route to Miami can capture New York sights along the way.
The easiest way to get from the Big Apple to the beaches of Miami is by plane. United Airlines and the low-cost Spirit airline often fly between cities. Round-trip tickets cost $ 120 -150.
Please note that low-cost airlines often charge extra for luggage and even carry-on baggage and fly into Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood Airport, located 50 km north of the resort. A taxi to the city center will cost $ 70-90.
