Check MIA Conditions & Security Waits
MIA publishes real-time checkpoint estimates. Match the checkpoint to your concourse, then review the airport’s current notice, your flight and FAA conditions.
The shortest checkpoint is not automatically the right checkpoint. Use MIA’s map to match the checkpoint to your gate and allow time for the airport’s long concourses.
BEFORE YOU GO
Five checks in the right order
- Confirm the operating airline, concourse and gate.
- Open MIA’s wait page and match the checkpoint to that concourse.
- Check MIA departures or arrivals, then confirm with the airline.
- Review the official homepage notice for transit or operating changes.
- Check FAA status for airport-wide traffic restrictions.
