MIA to South Beach Airport Flyer bus?

[egesicki]

Has anyone used this? Price seems reasonable less than $3 a person. We are hoping to fly in the day before to get some beach time and see the Art Deco district at night. Hotels are pricier, saving a little on transfers would be nice. Was there a lot of walking either in the airport or from the bustop to your hotel? How did you manage luggage? Would you consider it safe for a solo parent with two kids? TIA!

Thanks for alerting me to this. We'll be returning a rental car at the airport, then staying in Miami Beach before our December cruise. My husband was planning on a taxi (flat rate $32) the hotel. I'd like to try the $2.35 (that's all?!) Airport Flyer.

It looks like there is a (free?) shuttle bus from the airport to the area of the car rentals and the public transportation. The Airport Flyer bus goes down Washington Street. Where is your hotel? For us, it would be a seven block walk with three rolling suitcases and backpacks. Looking at the map again, I think the taxi might be a better idea.

We'll take an Uber car to port in the morning.

We haven't booked one yet. Waiting for our airfare dates to open because we might have better fares to FLL. But if it is MIA then possibly Stiles or Impala, maybe splurge on Loews.

Wasn't it fun looking at the South Miami Beach hotels? We chose Edgewater.
