Do we have to collect our luggage and then re-check it in? Where do we do this? Does this mean we will have to go through security again? We have plenty of time at MIA. TIA.
Yes, you are an arriving international passenger, not in transit. You go through the whole arrival process and then the whole departure process. If you were connecting internationally you *might* have your luggage checked through, but not an a domestic onward.
