Miami Airport Terminals and Concourses
The airport consists of three terminals and six concourses: North Terminal (Concourse D), Central Terminal (Concourses E, F, G), South Terminal (Concourses H, J).
Connection between terminals
To move between terminals, you must use the moving walkways on level 3. There are also moving walkways from the Central Terminal to the MIA Mover station (between the Dolphin and Flamingo garages), an automated transportation system that you can use free of charge to reach the Central Metro Station and the Car Rental Center.
The Skytrain service, located above the North Terminal, takes you from one end of Concourse D to the other, with 4 stations along its route. Use the elevators in Concourse D to reach the Skytrain stations.
