Its lower then expected, wait till the kiddies are back at school. MIA will be virtually diserted, well it is now really, we were surprised as how empty the place looked . Its a shame really for such a nice clean and passenger friendly Airport.

wow, i thought the drop would be higher. lately i have been hearing a lot of people who did not plan to travel this summer (i even talked to some people who cancelled their trip, thus losing the deposit's money) because of swine flu and recession. therefore, i think the drop is lower than expected.
