Will fly next month on a late-night flight from MIA to GRU, and would like to get rid of my baggage as early as possible in the day, so I can make the most of my last hours in Florida.

I know that when connecting same-day in MIA from another International flight, there's basically no limit on how early AA will accept checked bags; but in those cases, the bags are already tagged through at their point of origin. For the avoidance of doubt: when originating in MIA, what is the absolute earliest time one can check-in (curbside, or if I must go in, at Flagship First) and, most importantly, drop-off baggage, say, for a flight that departs at 2300 that night?

[I feel like this subject was once covered here before - but I couldn't find anything using such searchterms as "baggage" + "early." If anyone can point to the proper thread (so this can be merged), I'd be grateful - not least, so I can figure out which search terms would have led me there...]

This information might help, there is a baggage storage service at MIA in Terminal E from 5am to 9pm, fees apply.

This is a couple years old, but I don't have any reason to believe it's changed, or that curbside would be any different: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/27848200-post10.html

Thanks! This may be the exact post I'd vaguely remembered...glad to read that it seems possible.
