BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

Documents, routes & safety.

Document badges below assume U.S. citizens taking a short leisure trip from the U.S. Rules for other nationalities, residency, transit and trip purpose differ.

U.S. citizens: domestic travel

U.S. citizens generally do not need a passport for domestic routes, including direct U.S. journeys to Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. An international stop changes the document check. Carry accepted identification and any needed citizenship evidence.

TSA identification requirementsOfficial U.S. weather alerts

Approximate flight time from NYC to MIA: 3 hours. Connections and onward journeys add time.
