Hopper Editors - Thu Oct 26 2017
Miami; that quirky, cool, curious metropolitan conglomeration of Cuban bars, Caribbean cocktail joints and extravagant coastal living that sits perched on the tip of the American southeast. Just a stone’s throw from the winding waterways of the Everglades and nestled on the cusp of the paradisiacal Florida Keys, it’s little wonder that so many Americans flock to this enclave of sun and shindiggery to let loose and enjoy!
Today, the city is served by the sprawling Miami International Airport. It’s one of the largest in the whole country and is used by countless airlines both domestic and foreign. If you’re thinking of heading here for a summertime jaunt, or even for an off-season seaside holiday, then it’s likely this will be your gateway.
Here is a low-down on the major American cities with direct flights into MIA, ranging from metropolises in the Midwest, to less likely spots strewn right across the continent.

While the 10-hour or so road trip down the Atlantic seaboard of Georgia and Florida can be one seriously fun journey, some travelers from Atlanta simply cannot wait to soak up the tropical rays of Miami, and opt for one of the many direct flight routes out of Hartsfield-Jackson International instead. But why not, when a typical low price for a direct round trip connection sits between $183 and $213, while those willing to make mid-week departures can knock off even more (saving around $19 on average)? American and Delta both offer direct, two-hour flights between the two cities.
