[Browse places in South Terminal](https://miaairportguide.com/dining/?terminal=South+Terminal) ## Moving between H and J The South Terminal map shows the H–J connector. Use this to understand the relationship between the two concourses, not as a promise of an unrestricted connection for every itinerary. Neither the D Skytrain nor the E Train serves H and J. For movement between terminal areas, MIA documents Level 3 moving walkways. ## J international arrivals are on Level 3 International arrivals through J are on Level 3. Domestic baggage claim is on Level 1. If someone is meeting you, distinguish your arrival type and level instead of simply saying “South Terminal.” ## Animal-relief area in the connector An indoor animal-relief area is listed after security in the H–J connector, across from InMotion. The outdoor J relief area near Door 28 was listed as temporarily closed for construction when reviewed; do not rely on it without checking at the airport. ## Questions about South Terminal ### What airlines are in South Terminal? 25 airlines are listed South Terminal: Aerolineas Argentinas, AeroMexico, Air Canada, Air France, Avianca, Avianca Ecuador, Caribbean Airlines, CONDOR, and 17 more.
