Miami International's nonstop list for September 2026 names American and Delta for New York (JFK). Schedules change, so check the stops shown with each result. This search covers MIA to John F. Kennedy International only: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL), LaGuardia (LGA) and Newark Liberty (EWR) are separate airports. American, Delta and JetBlue have appeared in EazAir's fare checks for this route. At JFK, Delta uses Terminal 4, JetBlue Terminal 5 and American Terminal 8.

MIA's airline directory places American check-in at area D/E, with departures from Concourses D and E, and lists Delta at counters 430 to 441 in area H for Concourse H. Concourse D is a mile long, and its Skytrain stops at 4 stations a quarter mile apart, so give yourself time to reach the gate. Checkpoints 1 to 4 serve Concourse D in the North Terminal, and MIA lists Checkpoint 2 as open from 3:30 a.m. to 11:45 p.m. JetBlue passengers should check their boarding pass for the concourse.

Arriving at JFK, ride-app pickups for Terminals 5 and 7 have moved to the Howard Beach AirTrain station, which matters for JetBlue at Terminal 5; the AirTrain ride there is free. Anyone meeting you by car can wait at the free drop-off and pick-up lot at the AirTrain JFK Lefferts Blvd station, since terminal curbsides are for active pick-ups only. Taxis use official stands, and the airport says to ignore offers of rides inside the terminal.

The lowest fares from these three airlines include a carry-on, by their own rules. Search your own dates, and check the final price, bags and fare rules on the partner site before you pay.

Travel tips

Arrive early for domestic flights

TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.

Pack a mixed carry-on

Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.

Screenshot your confirmation

Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.

Check in online when it opens

Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
