Pues, si, mano - more miles usually results in more time aloft (unless we're talking disparately powerful tail or headwinds, which in this case we're not). I was implying DFW is better (for many reasons, and though I like the boliche at La Carreta s much as the other guy, MIA arrivals and baggage games are well worth missing).

I don't know about you, but 7hrs of sleep vs. 6 makes a big difference on how I feel the next day, but that's just me.

MIA - SCL 4,118 mi

Not to mention, unless you have Global Entry, re-entering MIA as your POE is subjecting yourself to cruel and unusual punishment.
