About this location
Opens at 4:30 a.m., a half hour ahead of the other two Duty Free Americas counters on this same concourse, which makes it the earliest option for the first wave of Concourse D departures. It closes at 10:30 p.m. like the rest. Positioned near the same cluster of Air Essentials stores that recurs through D, it's one of eleven Duty Free Americas locations at MIA, and the earlier opening is the only fact separating it from its neighbors on the same concourse.
One of 11 Duty Free Americas locations at Miami International Airport (Central Terminal, North Terminal, South Terminal), and the earliest of them to open.
Other options in North Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
