Cabs are high, but where do you wanna go? If your on south beach go to joes, if you go to coconut grove go to Montys, if you are on south beach joes is right off of a1a. I'd get a car, but the good Cuban food requires a drive from south beach or Collins where I normally stay

spirit is probably your best bet for cheap, but their seats are tiny!

Watch out for spirit's fees.

I'd rather fly in a cargo hold than fly on Spirit.

This!

They charge $25 for each carry on bag so make sure to take that into consideration when booking. Spirit is still cheaper than most others.

$50 for a carry on? LOL

$33 for checked bag each way, just share one, no carry on bag, but 1 personal item each.
