MIA TSA wait times at Miami International

This page is currently backed by 5 live MIA checkpoint readings, so the terminal and checkpoint spread matters more than a single airport-wide average.

American Airlines dominates the North Terminal (Concourse D). Non-Oneworld international carriers typically use the South Terminal (Concourses H and J).

Checkpoint 3 in the North Terminal and Checkpoint 9 in the South Terminal are reliable 24-hour options if you have a very early or late departure.

Movement between terminals post-security is limited outside of Concourse D; ensure you clear security in the correct terminal zone.

North Terminal (Concourse D) has 4 checkpoints. Central Terminal serves Concourses E, F, and G. South Terminal serves H and J.

Checkpoint 2 in the North Terminal is occasionally closed—if you're flying American, check if you need to shift to Checkpoint 1 or 3.

American Airlines and its Oneworld partners are centered in Concourses D and E.

Delta and most non-alliance international carriers operate out of the South Terminal (Concourses H and J).

MIA has 10 distinct security checkpoints with widely varying hours and PreCheck availability—always check the live cards to see if a nearby checkpoint is faster.

North Terminal (Concourse D) is massive. Use the Skytrain after security to reach distant gates (D1-D60) from Checkpoints 1, 3, or 4.

Wait times at MIA spike significantly during the seasonal window from October to April. Plan for 45+ minute waits during these peaks.
