"Where are the friendly volunteers"
Howard Kay (United States)
Not Verified | I was traveling through MIA last weekend and found so many problems. There is no-one at the information desks. and when i ask some employees for some help, they ignored me or gave me bad information. Where are the friendly volunteers like other airports? Why are so many elevators not working and/or dirty? Perhaps MIA should retrain their employees.

"disappointed and embarrassed of our airport"
Valerie Handelsman (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | I was born and raised in Miami Dade County and so disappointed and embarrassed of our airport. Restrooms need maintenance, the acoustics throughout are poor and transportation is either non existent or impaired. My flight had a gate change at the last minute. The gates were about a football field apart. I hitched a ride on one of many wheel chairs, but got off soon as woman was suggesting she expected a tip. The security was unorganized, crowded. Management needs a good management system. It's done at other airports in Florida, successfully. The whole airport looks like it has patchwork construction and design, archaic layout. Wheelchairs and transport buses running where people walk! Gate signs don't make sense. I had to ask people where to find everything. Loud speaker sometimes can't be heard, sometimes loud. Terrible!! Where is our tax payer money going. It's certainly not going to this place. Governor DeSantis needs to overhaul the management. Tampa has a beautiful airport, comfortable, organized and beautiful restrooms. Jacksonville too...What the heck is going on in Miami??

"have more regard for the elderly"
R Hayle (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | This is a plea for Miami and all other international airports to have more regard for the elderly at the airports. =I am 82 and walk much slower than before and standing in the one spot is a struggle. I arrived somewhere in Miami Terminal E after a horrid BA flight, walked for 20 minutes to the Immigration Area where I waited an hour before my turn came and then I walked some 30 minutes to a lounge at D 30 and then had to take a small train to the gate. I do not mind the walking if there are the electric walking lanes that are working but the standing in lines is a strain. - I have occasionally used a wheelchair but these are often promised but do not arrive. My other problem was going through security at Miami where I was told to keep my shoes on although I have artificial knees but then the person at the screening told me to take them off which is more difficult than the young may imagine.

"inept and terrible customer service"
H Parker (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Our originating flight from Miami to Belize was 3 hours late. When arriving in Miami the customs line was a mile long - no exaggeration - I have video and photo. There were maybe a handful of officers to handle customs and thousands of passengers. We missed our connection. From standing in line for 2 hours. Then after getting baggage another line to leave so add another hour because 1 man was letting people out. Then a line of 550 feet to get vouchers from American Airlines. We did not wait because was already 10:30pm. No employees here to assist thousands of people. Same experience this morning. Stood in two huge lines to check in and get through security due to few employees working. Now we arrive at our gate, and not even half enough seats to sit in to wait. Meanwhile, remodeling is furiously happening. Perhaps Miami airport should hire people to work rather than remodel right now. Complete inept and terrible customer service.

"a poorly run airport"
1 reviews Macel Leria (United States)
Not Verified | An absolutely disgusting airport! The most uncomfortable airport with lack of services that are found in most other airports in the U.S. Had an overnight stay, a loud buzzer sounded every 3 seconds from midnight to now 5.40 am, escalators going down operated but those going up were not functioning. The sky train was not operating for hours preventing me from being able to go to purchase water. This is not the only occasion that this has happened, it's just a poorly run airport!

"not enough charging"
C Englehart (United States)
Not Verified | Poor signage, everything was broken. Elevators, moving sidewalks, bathrooms were filthy, not enough charging and if you find a wall plug your plug literally falls out of outlet. Overall a dirty airport. Forget going to a gate if you are looking for selection of restaurants.

"the most disgusting airport"
J Stanford (United States)
Not Verified | Miami airport is the most disgusting airport I’ve ever been in. The once-blue carpets are black in most places and appear to have never been washed. Littered with food and trash everywhere - and the bathrooms are as back as a filthy run down gas station. I’m looking around as I write this and literary every service is filthy - the floor, the seats, the columns holding up the ceiling. Not just dusty, not just some loose rubbish - truly filthy. Avoid at all costs.

"beneath those of many third world nations"
Frank Smyth (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | I clear customs and collected my bag. I exited customs only to discover that the sign saying, Checked Baggage, abruptly ended as I found myself unsure where to bring my bag in the middle of the airport. I asked the single officer on duty. He had no idea. There was no there to assist passengers, only a pair of women behind a booth selling phone cards. The lack of signage or any personnel to guide passengers is shocking, and makes me think that Miami Airport has worse service (and security protocols) than airports in less developed nations. But I don’t think anyone in Miami or Florida gives a damn. Your standards are beneath those of many third world nations.

"the longest line ever"
Jacek Rad (United Kingdom)
Not Verified | This airport is a joke! The worst airport I ever been! Who ever is the manager should be sacked straight away. 2.5h waiting in the longest line ever, 3 officers behind the desk not rushing at all. At some point was only two of them and amount of people waiting more and more. Another airport in US which is 100 years behind of any airport in Europe - shame on you!

"worst airport I’ve ever experienced"
Darin Sanders (United States)
Not Verified | I’m embarrassed for the U.S. that this airport is a “gateway” for so many people. My flight from Dallas Love Field arrived in the G Concourse which reminds me of the old New York LaGuardia terminal. Low ceilings, narrow walkways, dirty, dark, interior. I made my way to ground transportation which was a nightmare. The signage is confusing and with the proliferation of ride share apps like Uber, Lyft, etc., one would think there would be ample signage. The entire ground transportation area is confusing, with inadequate signage. Then, there are the airport staff. I had trouble getting a Lyft, and decided to take a cab. The cab driver told me that since I was going to Hilton Airport Blue Lagoon, I had to take a “blue” taxi. I asked an airport ground transportation worker for directions and he pointed and said, “at the end.” I never found the blue taxi and finally ended up waiting for my hotel’s courtesy van for another 30 minutes. Upon arrival back to the airport for my departing flight, the same chaos ensued. I arrived at the airport at 8:00 a.m. for my 11:55 a.m. flight back to Dallas. Since I had time to spare, I went to the Star Alliance Lounge between H and J. Security checkpoint was horrible. Crowded, confusing, and I was in the line for the TSA Pre-Check which they were merging with the CLEAR and general security screening. Employees are brash, if not just downright rude. The walkway between H and J was much nicer; except for the restrooms. Wow - I think they imported these from old gas stations. Dark, dirty, in disrepair. I finally made my way to the Star Alliance Lounge. The entrance to the elevator from the concourse level is two double doors that made me think I was going into the back kitchen of an old diner. Followed, by a dirty elevator with taped signage directing me to the lounge. The walk from the elevator to the lounge entrance made me think I was in the wrong place, but I kept walking and eventually found it. Finally a nice escape from the worst airport I’ve ever experienced.
