The bus is cheap on paper and very long. Most travelers who value a day in Miami take the flight. Search JFK, LGA or EWR to MIA or FLL above and read bag rules — a basic fare can erase the bus “savings.”

Time on the road

Coach buses commonly quote 24–30 hours with rest stops. Premium coaches add Wi-Fi and reclining seats; they still do not match a three-hour nonstop.

Once you land

Miami Beach, Wynwood, Little Havana and the Art Deco District are the usual first stops. We book the flight; local transit and hotels are separate.
