The Truth Bar

Everyone wants to fly to Florida when the weather gets cold where they live, so people are always wondering how to get cheap airfare to Miami. The good news is this is usually quite easy just going through normal channels. If you are flying from the Northeast then there will be hourly flights all winter from several different airlines, and as a result seats on these planes can often be much cheaper than people expect.

One fascinating thing about this situation is that since so many people go to Miami for extended stays in the winter all the airlines have to compete for one-way fares as well. If you want to fly to, say, Mexico City one way, then the cost is usually even more than the lowest supersaver fare buying a round trip ticket. But for Miami the price is often exactly half of what the roundtrip price is. You can chalk this phenomenon up to the competition among all the airlines.

If you are finding fares to Miami to be a bit more expensive than you are expecting then you should also check flights into Fort Lauderdale. The airports are only about 30 miles apart, so if you are renting a car anyway then the difference is almost meaningless.
