Miami 7 hr layover @ MIA - 12-7am - suggestions?
Posted: Fri December 19, 2008 05:59 AM UTC
I have a 7hr layover each way from around midnight to 7am. I don't want the expense of a room for 4-5hrs. Any safe suggestions for a female traveler at MIA during this timeframe? (for resting, reading, eating, etc) Thanks for your time and input!

I would honestly just stick it out at the airport if I were you. It's a difficult time frame to be working with. I've done the same at a different airport and it's actually amazing how quickly the time goes. There are plenty of good stores and restaurants at the airport (Borders, etc.) which can help pass the time. I know it seems like a long time, but it's safer and easier. Good luck! (:

I just flew out of Miami. There were lots of stranded travelers sleeping on the floor, and this was in the middle of the afternoon. There was a nice quiet spot in the American terminal. As you face the checkin counter it was way to the right near some bathrooms and a closed down security area. There's a website - http://www.sleepinginairports.net/ that might be helpful.

good advise, stick it out at the airport, plenty of stores to browse there and time goes fast at an airport. Outside off Lejeune road there are many restos and stores but traffic is horrendous.
