Parking in the parking garage costs $17 per day, but you can park in the economy parking lot for $8 per day. If you don't want to drive to the airport, you can take the bus from downtown Miami to the Miami Central Station. The airport offers free shuttle services to passengers coming from the station. You can also take a taxicab. Cab fare from downtown to the airport costs between $10 and $14.

If you want to get something to eat before your flight, the airport has numerous dining options. You can choose from Café Versailles, La Carreta Restaurant, Manchu Wok or the Juan Valdez Café.

New York City, New York

There's so much to see and do in New York that you won't get bored during your trip. The city is filled with tourist attractions, historic sites and upscale shopping venues. From the Empire State Building to Coney Island, there's something that everyone will enjoy in New York.

Exploring New York City

Three major airports service the New York metropolitan area-Newark Liberty International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport. All of the airports serve flights that arrive from Miami, and all are within 20 miles of Manhattan. You can get from any of the airports into the city by taxicab. Cab rides into Manhattan cost between $30 and $50, depending on where your flight lands and where you're going. JFK and LaGuardia also have shuttle bus service provided by the NYC Airporter. Tickets cost $15.75 from JFK and $12.75 from LaGuardia. If you want your own transportation, you can reserve a rental car with Orbitz.com and pick it up at the airport after your flight lands.

New York has four distinct seasons. The summer months are hot and humid, and the winter months are cold and snowy. During the summer, the average temperatures range from the low 60s to the mid-80s. During the winter months, the average temperatures range from the mid-20s to the low 40s. Because snow is common in the winter and you walk a lot in the city, you should pack boots to keep your feet dry.

If you're a history buff, visit Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and the Tenement Museum. You'll get breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline from the observation deck at the Empire State Building and from the deck of the Staten Island Ferry. You could spend an entire day exploring everything Central Park has to offer; from carousels to the Central Park Zoo, there's something around every corner. Other major attractions include Rockefeller Center, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
