Miami from Italy
From Italy, Miami is 6 hours behind in winter. Nonstop flights go from Rome Fiumicino, with ITA Airways; and from Milan Malpensa, with American Airlines (daily until 1 December 2026, then back for summer). A typical hotel in Miami Beach or Brickell costs about €533 on a quiet midweek night and about €1,261 on the dearest night we checked (31 December), before taxes.
Getting there
Nonstop flights go from Rome Fiumicino, with ITA Airways; and from Milan Malpensa, with American Airlines (daily until 1 December 2026, then back for summer). Or one stop via Rome, Madrid, London, Paris, Frankfurt or Zurich, or via a US hub such as New York or Philadelphia.
Pages for travellers coming from Europe. Nonstop routes are as reported in autumn 2026 for winter 2026-27 and many are seasonal; none of these countries has a nonstop to Fort Lauderdale this winter, so always check the airline's own timetable. Points programs link to Points or Cash. Check the airline's own timetable before you book. Sources: passrider.com, aeroroutes.com, aeroroutes.com, aeroroutes.com.
Flying there on points
The programmes Italian travellers hold most often, and what their points are worth on Points or Cash:
Before you go
- Entry to the USMost European passports travel visa-free with an ESTA, applied for online at least 72 hours before you fly. What you need to enter the US.
- PricesHotel rates here are before taxes, and many Miami Beach hotels add a resort fee: check the total before you book. Restaurant prices exclude sales tax; some Miami Beach restaurants add a service charge to the bill, so check before you tip again.
- Plugs and powerUS plugs (type A and B) at 120 V: bring an adapter; most phone and laptop chargers handle the voltage.
- Clocks change on different datesThe US moves to summer time on 14 March 2027, Europe on 28 March: for those two weeks the gap is an hour smaller.
