How MIA–ATH gets cheaper
- Regional point-of-sale pricing: the same flight is often filed at different tariffs in different countries and currencies. How it works.
- Split-hub routing: pricing MIA to a competitive hub and that hub to ATH as separate tickets can undercut the nonstop, with the risk that separate tickets are not protected if you miss the connection.
- Timing: Revenue management releases inventory in a sequence of fare classes, starting with heavily discounted buckets for split‑hub legs and gradually moving to higher‑priced buckets as demand fills, which creates the observed price gap.
- Nearby airports: departing from FLL (Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood) can change the fare.
