PART 1
Punctual as
never before, my American Airlines Airplane leaves from Milan Malpensa at 9.40 in the direction of
Lima (Peru), with a short one-day stopover in Miami (USA) (round trip price including
taxes Euro 690.29).
In order to
set foot in the United
States of America, I had to complete the
quick online ESTA procedure by paying $ 14 by credit card. Entry into the
country valid for 2 years was approved by the system immediately after the end
of the online procedure which lasted about 1 hour.
At Malpensa Airport
instead, to get you on a flight departing for the USA, during the online check-in you
are subjected to a series of questions about who packed the baggage, when,
where did the last night stay, how many electronic devices carry with you, when
you bought them, ect.
It is also
not allowed to send baggage directly to the final destination, in my case Lima, but it must be unloaded at the transit airport, in
my case Miami,
for a border control and then boarded on the next flight.
At Miami International
Airport, located just 5 km from downtown Miami
(USA), baggage and entry controls are very thorough. Past the same I take to
the outside of level 1 of Terminal E where there is a small shelter inside
which you can take advantage of the automatic machines that issue tickets for
the Tri Rail, which runs along the line from Miami to Mangonia Park. A one-way
ride to Fort Lauderdale
costs $ 5. From here the free bus no. 133 which runs at regular intervals takes
you in just 10 minutes to Miami Airport Train Station, where a train leaves
every half hour towards Mangonia
Park, making many
intermediate stops. For Fort
Lauderdale, the same takes less than an hour. Of
course, the aforementioned ticket machines are also available at all train
stations. The ticket must not be stamped.
Back in Miami this time I get off at the Metrorail Transfer Train
Station, where there is the connection for the Metrorail, which would be the Miami subway. The ticket
costs $ 2.25 and can be bought at the machines. The same I allow to make only
one run.
Then I get
off at the Government Center stop where I take the free Metromover, which
allows you to take a panoramic tour of the city and get off in the heart of Miami, which I visit on
foot.
I return to
Miami International Airport,
using the following means of transport: Metromover, Metrorail, and the free Mia
Mover Train.
PART 2
Punctual as never before, my American Airlines
plane leaves from Jorge Chàvez International Airport, located 20 km northwest of the
tourist district of Miraflores in Lima at 24.36 in the direction of
Milan Malpensa, with a scarce 1-day stopover in Miami (USA) (round trip price
including taxes Euro 690.29).
At Miami
International Airport,
located just 5 km
from downtown Miami (USA), baggage and entry controls are very thorough. Past
the same I go to Terminal E, where I take the free Mia Mover to the Metrobus
station where bus n. 150 runs every half hour towards Miami Beach where it makes numerous stops
from 41st to 5th streets. The ticket costs 2.65 one way and can be bought at
the automatic machines inside the structure. Brochures with timetables and
route maps are available there.
From the Bike and Roll shop located on James Ave, near the
intersection with Lincoln Road,
I rent a city bike ($ 10 for 2 hours and $ 20 for a day).
Then I return to Miami International
Airport, where I take the
plane at 14.25 for Milan Malpensa of the American Airlines Company, which
arrives at 7.15 the next morning with a short half hour delay.
