Baggage claim at Miami Airport has gotten ugly: They're pushing for carry-on baggage only.

Long waits and chaos at Miami International Airport (MIA) are generating frustration among travelers and criticism on social media.

Miami International Airport (MIA) has once again experienced overcrowding and clutter at the baggage claim area, causing significant frustration among passengers.

Delays in baggage handling have led to numerous negative comments on social media. A video shared on the Instagram account Only in Dade highlighted the chaotic situation at the airport last weekend.

"Miami is one of the most expensive cities to live in the United States right now, and it lacks adequate infrastructure: no efficient airport, no decent roads, no rent control... It's a disgrace!" said one traveler quoted by CiberCuba.

Carry On

Faced with this situation, many travelers are opting to carry only hand luggage, known as "carry-on," to avoid long waits. This type of luggage allows passengers to carry a suitcase measuring up to 55 x 40 x 25 centimeters and weighing a maximum of 10 kilos.

However, some airlines, like JetBlue, occasionally require passengers to check their carry-on baggage as checked baggage, adding further inconvenience to the flight experience.

The situation at Miami Airport highlights the need to improve its infrastructure and operational management to provide adequate service to users.

The city government has announced a $27 million budget for renovations, although it has not specified when these improvements will begin.

For now, carrying only the "carry on" seems to be the most practical solution to avoid the current problems.
