About Fly into MIA for Love Burn
MIA sits about 8.7 miles from the gate in a straight line, against 23.5 for Fort Lauderdale, so it is roughly a third of the distance. The official pages give the road figures as about 14 miles and about 30. Either way MIA is the shorter ground leg, which matters most on Thursday when general entry opens at 10:00 AM and you still have to fill water, dump tanks, fuel, and buy ice before the causeway. Official Love Burn copy: MIA is about 14 miles out, FLL about 30, no event shuttle, Uber or a friend, radical self-reliance. If the RV is the bed, you still need the oversized pass to sleep in it on site. Doral hotel and warehouse lots are the usual handoff because airport garages will not take a Class C. Grocery and water in Doral. Gate GPS is still the Seaquarium on Virginia Key. We list rentals near Miami. We do not run an airport desk.
