Wife and I are flying American from DCA to MIA to STX on Wednesday. We have a long (3.5 hours) layover in MIA. I have a Priority Pass account and it appears there are several options in MIA that we can use.

Any thoughts on which might lounge might be better? Also, any other advice on navigating/eating in MIA?

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken there are only 2 Priority Pass Lounges at MIA - one in Terminal G and one in Terminal J - neither is very convenient to Terminal D where you AA flight to STX will depart from. If I had to choose, I'd pick the lounge in Terminal G as it is a bit closer to your connecting gate.

As for navigating the airport - on the way down DO NOT leave the secure area - you can use "inside corridors" to walk between Terminals. All the shops and restaurants are inside the secure area. Go here for a list of places and locations: http://www.shopmiamiairport.com

If you like Sushi try Sushi Maki near Gate 29 in Terminal D - it's pretty good.

and if you like Cuban, go to La Carreta. Excellent.
Get the Masa de Puerco, Black Beans, rice and yuca or sweet plantains.
Cheers
