Long Lines, Failing Infrastructure, and Viral Stunts keep Miami International Airport Weird
Miami International Airport has always been a unique airport. It features a host of international carriers has regularly features airlines and cargo carriers that most other US airports don’t see regularly. Lately though, we’ve seen a host of down right weird stories. Here are three stories seen just this week about the South Florida International Airport.
Ridiculously Long Check-in Lines at the Airport
Miami International Airport recently posted to their Facebook account that passengers should arrive at least two hours early for a domestic flight and three hours early for an international flight.
Other airports have made similar requests before. However, the scene at the airport looked like mayhem. Check out that line. It goes on forever!
Florida Man Checks Himself In At Ticket Counter With Luggage Wrap
Yeah, read that headline again. A man wrapped himself in plastic luggage shrink wrap and attempted to check in for a flight. While we’re pretty sure it was just a prank for the ‘likes’, this is one of the oddest stunts we’ve seen at an airport.
Check out the video below posted by Instagram channel @onlyinDade. I can bet the passengers who know they are going to wait in ridiculously long security lines didn’t appreciate the delay caused by this moron at the ticket counter. Miami International Airport keeps it weird.
Official Miami Airport Account Highlights Airport Falling Apart
If you’ve ever been in parts of the Miami International Airport, you’ll know that the terminals look like they are stuck in the 1970s…and not in a swanky, retro sort of way either.Just today Miami International Airport’s Facebook and Instagram account posted that their “Lightning Crew” fixed a damaged support beam in the terminal.
While other airports around the world and the US highlight their award-winning architecture, Miami International Airport is proud of their shoddy repair job.
The internet did not disappoint in the comment section, roasting the airport with one commenter calling the photo a “mickey mouse job” and another stating “Just in case you were wondering, MIA remains a piece of sh*t airport… escalators, moving walkways, elevators, trains out of service… for years! Such an embarrassment!”
All This On The Heels Of a Questionable Green Leak Earlier This Summer
All of these stories just this week are on heels of a very odd green-colored leak earlier this summer in the terminal. Officials said the leak came from a dye the was in the air conditioning system and that it was non-toxic. Regardless of what it was, it wasn’t a good look for MIA. (Emedded video from NBC6 Miami)
