Flight

Miami Airport

From my research, flights to Miami airport are cheapest on American Airlines. However, there is an additional $30 fee per checked bag. We booked through Hopper, an app that allows you to "watch" flights and compare flights to find the cheapest rates. We are flying into Miami at 8:33am on Thursday, July 11 on American Airlines flight AA1177 (leaving Atlanta at 6:45am). We are departing Miami at 3:45 pm) on Tuesday, July 16 on American Airlines flight AA2552 (arriving in Atlanta at 5:48pm).
