I probably should add that the last time I was at MIA, immigration was on the automatic machines and really fast (though you have to be eligible to use them), and customs was efficient and friendly if a little odd. The officer asked us if we had brought jellied eels from the UK. Being northern we truthfully told him that we wouldn’t recognise them if we saw them!
When was that ? The machines have been off since the Orange Ones decree to prevent the spread of Covid in 2000 and certainly weren’t on in Miami five months ago.
