- ✈️ MIA (Miami International) — ~8 miles from PortMiami; ~15–20 min by rideshare; excellent domestic and international connections
- ✈️ FLL (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood) — ~30 miles north; often cheaper fares; 45–60 min drive south to PortMiami in traffic
- 🏙️ Best area to stay: Brickell or Downtown Miami — close to MIA, close to the port, great evening options
- 🌴 Night before: Little Havana for Cuban food, Wynwood for street art and craft beer, South Beach if you want the full Miami scene
- 💡 Tip: If flying FLL to save money, factor in ~$50–$65 rideshare to Miami — sometimes the savings evaporate
