It’s a short cab ride to MIA from The Presidential. But it’s not cheap — the 20 minute cab ride will cost you $32 plus tip. If you’ve ever thought “there’s got to be a better way,”  Miami-Dade Transit has good news for you.

For only $2.65, you can take the bus from South Beach to or from Miami International Airport.  The Miami Beach Airport Flyer (Route #150) runs every 30 minutes seven days a week and provides express service from 6a to 11:40p.

The closest stop to The Presidential is at 5th and Washington (board the Miami Beach Airport Flyer on the East side of the street by the Wells Fargo bank).  The bus drops you at the airport Metrorail station (just a short MIA Mover ride away from the terminal).
