Miami Flights

Bring your cash, sunscreen, dancing shoes and your brushed-up Spanish to Miami, Florida. This southeastern corner of the US basks in sweltering sunshine in a tropical monsoon climate, has the largest concentration of banks in America and its port is known as the Cruise Capital of the World.

Tucked between Biscayne Bay and the Everglades, Miami has the occasional errant alligator roaming its streets (which may or may not get a write up in the Miami Herald or the El Nuevo Herald). The Caribbean and Latin American influences are steeped in the language, food and music of the area too. Miami Beach, just because, is where every visitor should take a stroll.

Here's a quick guide to things to see and do:

• Party on South Beach – this is one lively strip that continues up the Florida coast
• Balloon over the Miami skyline – grab a year-round sunrise flight
• Airboat over the Everglades – for a hair-raising look at this natural ecosystem
• Embark a ship – and cruise into your holiday
