Flights take around nine hours from London Heathrow to Miami International with British Airways. Miami is five hours behind London for most of the year, four hours behind London just as it changes over to daylight savings time.
Hints of the city beyond will strike you from the moment you step into Miami International Airport – Spanish voices, salsa music and the glint of sunglasses worn indoors. Miami airport is eight miles from the city centre.
Hail a taxi outside the terminal or pre-book an airport transfer before you travel to take the stress out of getting to your Miami hotel. You’ll be given the opportunity to add a shuttle or private door-to-door transfer once you’ve booked your Miami flight or holiday.
Alternatively, book car hire, in partnership with Avis, and explore Southern Florida in your own time.
If you’re travelling on a British passport then you don’t need a visa to fly into Miami – but you do need to apply for an ESTA at least 72 hours before you travel. It costs $14 to register for your ESTA. Once it’s approved, you can use it for multiple journeys for two years, or until your passport expires.
Travelling can be tiring, so follow these simple tips to take the stress out of your Miami flight.
And once you’re in holiday mode, stay that way. Book your hotel and car in advance with British Airways to take the stress out of arrival.
Our Miami cheat sheet will have you feeling like a local in no time.
It's customary to tip between 15 and 20% in the US, for everything from restaurants and bars to taxis and bellboys.
All the best Miami sights are within walking distance of each other, or you can order an Uber. Hire a car with Avis to explore beyond the city at your leisure.
Look down from the plane over Wynwood Walls, and see if you can spot the cheeky rooftop art on the top of the Goldman Global Arts Gallery from your plane seat – it’s a woman in a bath that you can’t see from street level.
