South Florida\u2019s airports are seeing big changes, including new sleep rooms at Miami International Airport, expanded routes at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and potential flights to Venezuela. Here\u2019s a quick look at what travelers need to know.<\/p>\n

Here are key takeaways:<\/p>\n

\u2022 MIA now has sleep rooms for tired travelers. Fifteen rooms with beds<\/a> opened near Gate D15 in the north terminal, with prices ranging from $40 for one hour to $245 for an overnight stay. The space has 30 beds total, plus shared bathrooms and showers.<\/p>\n

\u2022 JetBlue is growing at the Fort Lauderdale airport. The airline is adding flights to Jacksonville, Tampa and Dallas Fort Worth<\/a>, plus increasing Cartagena, Colombia, service to daily year-round. Over the past year, JetBlue has added 20 destinations from FLL.<\/p>\n

\u2022 JetBlue is out of MIA entirely. The airline eliminated its last Miami International flight in September, citing poor financial performance, after having as many as 14 daily flights from MIA in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Miami-to-Venezuela flights are closer but not confirmed. American Airlines<\/a> received DOT authorization for its subsidiary Envoy Air to fly between Miami and Caracas and Miami and Maracaibo, but no start date has been set.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Multiple hurdles remain for Venezuela service. TSA must complete a security audit of Venezuela\u2019s airport, Venezuela still carries a Level 4 Travel Advisory and both countries need to sort out visa processes before flights can begin.<\/p>\n
