    About Miami International Airport

    Miami International Airport opened on December 1, 1928, as Pan American Field — serving as Pan American World Airways' primary base for flights to Latin America and the Caribbean. The airport grew alongside Pan Am and became the gateway between the US and Latin America.

    The current terminal complex was built in phases from the 1950s through 2013. The North Terminal (Concourses D and E) was completed in 2014 as part of a $6.4 billion Capital Improvement Program, making it the newest terminal at MIA. The MIA Mover, a free automated people mover, opened in 2011 connecting the airport to the Miami Intermodal Center, which provides access to Metrorail, Tri-Rail commuter rail, Greyhound, and rental cars. MIA processes more international passengers to and from Latin America than any other US airport.

    Restrooms Inside MIA Airport

    MIA has restrooms throughout all three terminals and six concourses. Concourse D (North Terminal, completed 2014) has the newest and best-maintained restrooms. The Central Terminal has older facilities without single-use/unisex restrooms. All concourses are connected on the 3rd level by moving walkways.

    All restrooms are ADA-accessible. The three terminals are connected on the 3rd level by moving walkways and to the parking garages and MIA Mover. The MIA Mover provides access to the Rental Car Center and Miami Intermodal Center. Call MIA at (305) 876-7000 for accessibility assistance.

    MIAmamas nursing pods are in Concourses D, F, and G. A larger nursing room is next to Checkpoint J. MIA welcomes nursing mothers anywhere in the airport. Family restrooms are in the North Terminal. The Central and South terminals have companion restrooms.

    Insider Tips

    All three terminals are connected on the 3rd level by moving walkways — you can walk the entire length of MIA post-security. This is great for accessing the best restrooms in Concourse D from anywhere in the airport.

    Concourse D (North Terminal) has the newest restrooms at MIA — it was completed in 2014. If you're departing from the Central or South terminals, the walk to Concourse D is worth it for much better facilities.

    The MIA Mover is a free people mover connecting the airport to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). From the MIC, you can access Metrorail ($2.25 to downtown), Tri-Rail ($5 to Fort Lauderdale/West Palm Beach), and the Rental Car Center.

    MIA is the primary gateway to Latin America. Expect heavy traffic on Concourses G, H, and J during Latin American departure waves (typically early morning and late afternoon). Restrooms on these concourses get very busy.

    The themed 'doggy park' pet relief areas at Concourses E and J are unique to MIA — they're designed with whimsical fire hydrants and synthetic grass. Worth visiting even if you don't have a pet.

    TSA PreCheck and Global Entry lanes are at checkpoints in all terminals. Concourse J has the most international traffic and typically the longest regular lines.

    If you're connecting to a cruise ship, MIA is the closest major airport to the Port of Miami (15 minutes). Use restrooms at the airport before heading to the port — ship terminal facilities can be chaotic on embarkation day.
