MIA playbook
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.
Terminals at a glance
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.
Airline notes
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).
