I am seeing most people flying into FLL for a cruise out of the Miami port but I see MIA airport being almost half as cheap. Is there a downside to using MIA over FLL? thanks!
I've done both and FLL is far quicker to get through than Miami. Also, traffic around MIA is horrendous at times. I wasn't going to the port though so that may be a factor to consider. Just as an example. My friend and I were meeting up in Miami (Aventura). I flew into FLL an hour after her flight touched down in MIA. I arrived at our friend's house an hour before she did.
Did you use the disney transportation or something else?We fly Delta out of MSP. When we cruised out of Miami we flew into MIA. We priced flying into FLL but the convenience of MIA out weighed any cost savings.

This is what I'm thinking of doing too. We are for sure getting a hotel the night before embarkation so I feel like it would be easiest to grab a hotel that has a shuttle from the airport and then uber the next morning. thank you!Did you use the disney transportation or something else?
No, I much prefer MIA. A lot of posters fly Southwest, which only flies into FLL. That's why you're seeing that.I am seeing most people flying into FLL for a cruise out of the Miami port but I see MIA airport being almost half as cheap. Is there a downside to using MIA over FLL? thanks!
We got a killer deal on airfare for our cruise from SLC to MCO via MSP on Delta so we are just renting a car and driving to Miami from Orlando. We have buffer days on the front side. For our family of 6 the cost savings added up quickly. The way airlines price things though I wouldn’t be shocked if flying from MSP to MCO was more expensive than SLC to MCO with our MSP layover. I fly to MSP for work regularly and I always pay more than double the fare we found. Airline pricing can be crazy.I guess I never thought of that. We are looking for the cheapest flight from Minneapolis. It might even be cheaper to fly to MCO and rent a car and drive to Miami!
