Duty Free Americas
Finding it
Duty Free Americas is in 2nd Level Departures in South Terminal at Miami International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.
South Terminal has 21 places to eat and 42 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 4:30am.
Hours against the security queue
Across the week, MIA security runs longest around 5pm at a median of 16 minutes, and lightest around 11pm at 2 minutes.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's MIA wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Positioned at the connector between Terminals H and J, this Duty Free Americas opens at 5 AM and closes at 9 PM — the longest window of the South Terminal's three counters aside from the 24-hour location by Gate J-6, which never closes at all. The Gate H-4 counter, by contrast, shuts at 8 PM. Its early start makes it useful for passengers clearing security ahead of morning departures rather than those buying on the way back through in the evening. Subway, Farm2Air Market and Carlo's Bake Shop Express sit in the same corridor.
One of 11 Duty Free Americas locations at Miami International Airport (Central Terminal, North Terminal, South Terminal).
Other options in South Terminal
All past the same checkpoint, so you can reach them without clearing security again.
