NOTE: this is based on many transits in MIA, but not within the last few months. Please read the post #8 by number_6 (are you confused? Just look down a couple of posts...) "MIA" and "pleasant" in the same sentence? Wow! There HAVE been changes!

Sorry - the bad news is you will have to pass through imigration, recover your checked baggage and proceed through U S Customs. Then you will have to recheck your bag(s), exit and pass through security to depart the US again. Unfortunately, the USA did away with transit paths and lounges. 90 minutes can be very tight, IMO. Depending on time, the immigration queues can be dreadfully long; you will be able to save some time if you travel with carryons only.

What will I have to do? And is it possible? (Do have a new European passport, so no visa needed & I will be in immigration system as I transit in DFW on the way to GUA)

Thanks for your help!
