Cheap flights to Miami

From where are you flying? The week of Mar 21-26 is smack in the middle of spring break. Unfortunately I think that college kids & families wanting to get away to Florida booked all the cheap flights long ago.

In a recent search a few weeks ago I found fares from anywhere in the US to Miami or anywhere in South Florida for anything after 3/15 to be 2-3x higher than the 1st week of March.

I use www.kayak.com, but I'm not sure if they show all airlines. Check Spirit and Southwest websites to see their flights.

I am flying out of CVG (Cincinnati, OH) but yeah I think I waited just a little too long does not look like I will find one under $300. Thanks for the input

You might want to sign up for Kayak's price alert.

You might also consider flying into Ft. Lauderdale (FLL) -- easy drive to Miami. I've found good fares on www.cheapoair.com.

FLL is much cheaper to fly to - and from there search "ground transportation" on the airport website, or rent a car.

spirit.com
southwest.com web fares
jetblue.com
aa.com

best price points for me...

If you are looking for a sub-$300 flight, I think you are not being realistic. Under $400 is more likely. Spring break time is very big business in Florida, and flights tend to be fully booked. You've waited far far too long for the really cheap fares.

Not surprisingly, NONE of the airlines mentioned by Qwovadis flies from Cincinnati

CVG for some reason has high airfares to a lot of places (husband used to fly their often for business). Could you fly out of an alternate airport and if so have you checked those fares. Also, try FLL and even PBI (west palm beach) if you can find a reasonable way to get from those airports to MIA

Fort Lauderdale perhaps because it's got good connections to Miami and lots of transportation options, but West Palm is another hour north of Fort Lauderdale. That's just not a realistic distance to get to and from the airport easily. I wouldn't even entertain that as a possibility.

A few weeks ago I looked at flights from 6 different starting points spanning the entire US, to just about anywhere in South Florida. MIA, FLL, PBI, and RSW, and even Sarasota and Tampa.

Same story, regardless of the origin or destination. Flights after 3/15 are 2-3X higher than the 1st week of March.

Spring break floods all of Florida - you won't find cheap fares that week at this late date.

Check with Allegiant. Fly from Huntingdon WV to Ft. Lauderdale.
