Flying Cap-Haïtien to Miami is the most common way home for families in South Florida, and the return leg is where the timing matters most. The American Airlines flight, from November 1, 2026, leaves Cap-Haïtien at 1:15 pm and reaches Miami at 3:15 pm, early enough to make an evening connection north. Sunrise Airways departures vary by day. Get to the airport at least three hours before departure: Cap-Haïtien's terminal is small, the check-in queue for a full A320 or 737 moves slowly, and every checked bag is screened by hand. If you are connecting in Miami to another US city, you clear immigration and customs there, collect your bags and re-check them, so allow two and a half hours minimum.

Book 6 to 10 weeks ahead for holiday travel; two to four weeks is usually enough in spring. Hurricane season runs June through November and can move flights at short notice.
About the airports
CAP
Cap-Haïtien International Airport
Cap-Haïtien, HT · America/Port-au-Prince
Cap-Haïtien International Airport (CAP), also called Hugo Chávez International, is Haiti's second airport and, since November 2024, the only one US airlines are allowed to use. It sits on the coastal plain just south of the city, a few minutes from the historic center and about 20 km from the Citadelle Laferrière and Sans-Souci Palace at Milot. The airport was expanded in 2013 to take Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 aircraft on international flights, and it now carries the bulk of Haiti's traffic with the United States: Sunrise Airways from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boston and Newark, and American Airlines daily from Miami starting November 1, 2026.
MIA
Miami International Airport
Miami, US · America/New_York
Miami International is the gateway between the United States and the Caribbean, and for Haiti it is the hub that matters most: the busiest Cap-Haïtien route, the connecting point for American's flights from New York, Boston, Atlanta and Philadelphia, and the airport closest to Little Haiti and North Miami. Broward and Miami-Dade counties together hold the largest Haitian population in the country.
Arriving at Miami
International arrivals clear immigration in the North or South Terminal. Miami is one of the slowest US airports for visitor passports in the afternoon, when the Caribbean and South American banks land together; Mobile Passport Control (free app) and Global Entry cut the wait to minutes for eligible travelers. Connecting passengers collect bags after customs and re-check them at the transfer desk before returning through TSA.
The MIA Mover connects the terminals to the Rental Car Center and Miami Central Station, where Metrorail (Orange Line) runs downtown in 15 minutes and Tri-Rail heads north to Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. Rideshare pickup is on the departures level; a car to Little Haiti or North Miami is 20 to 30 minutes.
