Wikilinking dates

[edit]

I have opened a discussion on this at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers). -- Donald Albury 12:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA on hold

[edit]

This article needs some work before it can be counted as a Good Article. More references are needed for a start, the history section should be expanded, and the 'incidents' section should be written out instead of a bulleted list. (Note that I've also changed the ranking on the WikiProject Airports box; this isn't a GA yet, which is a notch below A-class.) - Aerobird Target locked - Fox One! 02:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Failed

[edit]

It's been in excess of the 7 day maximum that the GA nomination was put on-hold and issues relating to the original reviewer's comments still exist. Please re-read his commentary and use it as constructive criticism to improve upon the article. Do try again when you have everything sorted.

Concourse J/South Terminal

[edit]

OK, obviously the opening of the new concourse is horribly behind schedule, rendering many of the dates given for airline moves inaccurate. Does anyone have a solid source that contains the correct dates, so that countless edits changing the dates can be avoided? Or, is the organization for opening the concourse completely non-existent, and thus warranting the constant changes? Thanks. MRasco 17:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I work there and I was using the actual sheet they give out to update them, the night i put US snd UA over there was the night before they were supposed to both move over and then the bag belt broke down... AT A NEW CONCOURSE, and it got pushed back. My lack of internet access this week made it so that I could'n't revert it, as far as I've seen from work, the dates are still the same and AV should be moving in tomorrow, but otherwise, anything else can happen between here and when Continental comes in, for now, I'll try and update along with the sheet the airport gives out, but luckily, we're finally settled in there. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 00:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AeroGal flys here from Guayaquil, but I don't know from which terminal. Is there any info on that anywhere? Basketball110 16:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't all the images in the article have captions? There are several in the article that do not. --66.188.68.101 (talk) 20:59, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image idea for Miami Airport

[edit]

Hi! I think this should have an image of the airport terminal side that has the words "Miami International Airport" WhisperToMe (talk) 14:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Start Dates/Concourse Assignments for New Airlines

[edit]

Please note that although it is highly likely that CSA Czech Airlines, as a SkyTeam carrier, will use gates in the H concourse when they begin service, they have yet to notify the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. As far as the airport is concerned, they do not have a start date nor a gate assignment ready. The same applies to Air Europa to Tenerife, Travel Service to Prague, PAWA Dominicana to Santo Domingo, Punta Cana, and Puerto Plata. Please do not use the article for speculation regarding this matter until an official announcement is made by the airport or the airline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.161.135.31 (talk) 04:49, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On a similar note, AirTran, Bahamasair, and Gulfstream do not have any plans to move from their current home at Concourse G. There is no way that Concourse G will be demolished in 2010--firstly, the airport is focusing all of its efforts on completing the North Terminal, and secondly, there is no way anything in Miami-Dade County can be completed that quickly. The airport doesn't have any definitive plans for the future of Concourse G. For now, it's just sort of there. Even if it WAS torn down, it's more likely that AirTran and Bahamasair would move to E or F, since they are not affiliated with any alliances and H is suffering from a gate crunch as it is. E is currently used to capacity by American, but Gates F4, F6, and F8 are virtually abandoned. While it would make sense that Gulfstream passengers be bussed from the same secure area as partner Continental Airlines, nothing's happening there yet.. There are also rumors of Concourse G being used as an LCC terminal... again, highly unlikely that AirTran would move from there. 74.161.0.49 (talk) 16:18, 9 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.161.0.49 (talk) 16:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"there is no way anything in Miami-Dade County can be completed that quickly"...so true--Jorfer (talk) 16:26, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, I've had to correct inaccurate edits concerning WestJet's ticket counter and concourse assignments. As soon as MDAD assigns them, Wiki will be the first to know. Until then, do NOT speculate in the article. 65.3.161.57 (talk) 09:03, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All righty, the latest is in. Air Dominicana, due to its affiliation with Air Europa, will be sharing ticket counter space in Concourse G with UX. They have been assigned Concourse F. WestJet has been assigned the former Air Europa (and before that, Air Jamaica) ticket counters in Concourse E, right next to AeroMexico. They have also been assigned Concourse F, most likely Gate F8. No word yet on Finnair, but Wiki will be the first to know.Carlos Perea (talk) 19:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Ticket counters, gate usage and concourses

[edit]

Do we really need to have all of these listed separately? Most of the information is redundant in any case. Seeing as how this is not meant to be a passenger travel guide or an airport assistance endeavour, shouldn't we just list one or the other? I really think we should do away with something... For example, it's immaterial (in the Wikipedia context) which airline's ticket counters are located on which concourse or lobby of the airport. The focus is on listing the airlines at Miami and the destinations those airlines serve. To that end, I propose removing the non-noteworthy information, and basically listing the concourses, along with the airlines that use each concourse. Any thoughts welcome! Jasepl (talk) 10:25, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to go one further and propose that we consolidate the "Terminals and Concourses" and the "Airlines and Destinations" sections of the article, like most other airport-related articles on Wiki. Carlos Perea (talk) 18:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alitalia MIA-MXP flights

[edit]

Where is everyone finding that Alitalia will begin nonstop flights from Miami to MXP in March 2010? I checked AZ's website/schedules and the only flights listed between MIA and MXP is via FCO from March 2010 onwards. If anyone can find a press release of any kind stating this flight, then please feel free to readd. Regards! Snoozlepet (talk) 06:24, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rumour on some talk forums, that's all so far. AZ haven't made any such announcement nor are any such flights in schedules. So, I agree, NO AZ to MXP entry until confirmed. Jasepl (talk) 06:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks....and also, airlineroute.net (which IPs will also use as a source for this); but is not an reliable source) doesn't mention AZ MIA-MXP. Simple, if the route is bookable on the airline's website then list it with a start date; if the route is not bookable, then don't list it. Snoozlepet (talk) 07:15, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No asshole, its not that simple. A route might be pending government approval. As long as we have links to the PR or application, then list it. Stop being such a moron.

The press release says the airline has "filed" an application to request to fly that route. This is not final yet!! Wait until it appears in schedules and bookable!!! Snoozlepet (talk) 18:23, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Country Flags Beside Airline Names

[edit]

While I realize that it's not necessary to the article in the least, the flags don't detract from it, and they provide a nice touch as well as a way to instantly identify an airline with its country of origin. Why were they removed? Carlos Perea (talk) 21:26, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Air Florida Flight 90

[edit]

I don't feel it belongs on a list of MIA incidents. The flight didn't originate in Miami or was destined for the airport. Its only connection to that air disaster is the plane previously flew up to DC from Miami. I don't feel that is sufficient to make it a MIA incident.William 01:15, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Delta Airlines

[edit]

Time to add Los Angeles International Airport to the list of Delta Airlines destinations. Also time to mention Delta as an airline with a focus city at MIA. They will only be expanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.164.103.98 (talk) 06:25, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Building 706

Inaccurate Statement?

[edit]

The article states: "MIA is unique among American airports in that all of its facilities are common-use".

The article in Wikipedia about Honolulu International Airport indicates that the gates are all common-use there as well. This would mean MIA is not unique in this regard.98.229.2.88 (talk) 16:45, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Inaccurate Map

[edit]

The map, while a vast improvement from the last one, does not mention the fact that both Finnair and Avianca, respectively, fly from Finland and El Salvador . These countries do not appear in orange despite the year round service between Miami and Helsinki and San Salvador, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:7:5100:BFC:19F2:F8B1:17B8:DD78 (talk) 17:26, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Which map? The destinations map shows HEL (Helsinki, Finland) and SAL (San Salvador, El Salvador); the map of destination countries has both countries in orange. Neither map has been changed since the above comment was made, but I notice that Costa Rica is not colored in the destination countries map and needs to be fixed.

Add New York to Frontier Airlines Destinations
