Atlanta to Miami Flights

Depend on Orbitz.com to connect you with flights from Atlanta to Miami that fit within your budget. Miami is a sunny paradise all year long, with miles of attractive beaches and warm water. Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, Miami has a lot to offer.

Atlanta, Georgia

The largest city in Georgia is known for its Southern hospitality and cultural attractions. It's also the home of the nation's busiest airport: Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Located on the south side of the city, the airport is about a 20-minute drive from downtown.

Getting to the airport is easy. From downtown, simply take I-75 south to I-85, then follow the road signs to the domestic terminal. Both long-term and short-term parking are available at Hartsfield-Jackson, with shuttle vans ready to take you from your car to the terminal. If you don't want to drive, Atlanta's public transit system, known as MARTA, provides bus and train service directly to the airport. The MARTA train might be the better option, as you'll have more room for your luggage, and traffic is never an issue. A train ride from the central hub to the airport only takes 17 minutes.

Because it is such a bustling commercial airport, numerous regional and international air carriers fly in and out of Hartsfield-Jackson every day. Delta Airlines and US Airways both offer daily nonstop flights from Atlanta to Miami. While you're waiting for your flight, you can enjoy a meal in one of dozens of restaurants and cafes, including Bistro Del Sol, Famous Famiglia, and Starbucks. You can also look for a gift in one of the duty-free shops.

Miami, Florida

Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Everglades wilderness, Miami is a vibrant and ethnically diverse destination for people across the United States. The city has become a second home for retirees and snowbirds escaping colder winters up north.

Miami's Hot Spots

Air travelers to Miami arrive at Miami International Airport. Sixteen rental car agencies operate in the terminal, including Avis, Enterprise, and Hertz. Book with Orbitz.com, and you can have a car waiting for you. Alternatively, you can take a shuttle or taxi to your resort or hotel. Taxi fares to local hotels range between 10 and 15 dollars.

The weather in Miami gets few complaints. Summertime highs approach 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Ocean breezes keep the heat and humidity from being too stifling. Winters are nearly as warm, with highs in the upper 70s. Thunderstorms are common, especially in the summer, but most bad weather passes quickly. August through September is the peak of hurricane season, so check a tropical weather forecast before leaving.

The pristine beaches are amongst the biggest attractions in south Florida. You can enjoy surfing, snorkeling, jet skiing, paragliding, or deep-sea fishing from several popular beaches. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even try the JetLev, a water-powered jetpack device not for the faint of heart. Miami is also home to three professional sports teams: the NBA's Miami Heat, the NFL's Miami Dolphins, and MLB's Florida Marlins.
