Which refund rules apply to a flight to Miami?
The US Department of Transportation refund rule. It covers scheduled flights to, from and within the United States, operated or marketed by the airlines that serve the country.
If the airline cancels, or changes an international trip by 6 hours or more, you can refuse the alternative. The refund is then due in the original form of payment, unless you accept another form (14 CFR 260.10). With SatFares, you get a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose.
Can I pay in crypto once I am in Miami?
Often, at listed places. BTC Map lists 142 places within 25 km of central Miami, 119 of them verified since 2025 (October 12, 2026). That is the highest count of the 30 destinations on our list, ahead of Orlando (107) and Bangkok (95).
Our sources found no local ban on paying in crypto. We sell the ticket; paying on the spot is another matter. Prices in Miami are in US dollars, the same unit as our fares and as USDT and USDC.
What data does a flight to the United States require?
Each traveller's full name as in the passport or ID, date of birth and gender, under the US Secure Flight program. For an international flight, passport details also go to US border authorities before arrival.
We pass these data only to the airline, to issue the ticket. No ID upload, no selfie at checkout. Airline ID rules still apply. Entry rules for the United States depend on your nationality; check them with the US Department of State or a US consulate. We do not give visa advice. More on what data airlines require.
Frequently asked questions
Can I book American Airlines to Miami with crypto?
American Airlines does not take crypto directly, according to GoTravelCrypto (August 14, 2026). You can book its flights with SatFares and pay in crypto. Our team books the ticket on request, and the airline issues it in the traveller's name. See American Airlines and crypto.
Do I get my money back if a Miami flight is cancelled?
Yes. With SatFares, you get a refund in USDT or USDC within 7 days, or a balance credit, as you choose. US rules also require a refund in the original form of payment when you refuse the alternative, unless you agree to another form.
Is there a fee for paying in crypto?
Our fee rule is: none (no booking fee or payment fee is added). The price shown is the fare found live for all passengers, in US dollars, taxes included, with no fee added; the final total is confirmed before you are charged. Nothing extra is taken without your agreement. Your wallet or exchange may charge a network fee to send the top-up; that fee goes to the blockchain, not to us.
Why does the airline need my gender and date of birth?
US Secure Flight rules require the airline to collect each traveller's full name, date of birth and gender for flights to the United States. The data must match the passport. We pass it to the airline only. The airline sends this data to the US Transportation Security Administration before the flight.
What time zone is Miami in?
Eastern Time: UTC-5 in winter and UTC-4 during US daylight saving time. Orlando, also on our list with São Paulo to Orlando, uses the same time zone. Check the local arrival time shown in your booking. São Paulo and Buenos Aires are 1 or 2 hours ahead of Miami, depending on the season.
Which coins can I use for a Miami flight?
Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). USDT works on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20); USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. The minimum top-up is $25. Stablecoins keep a dollar value, the same currency as prices in Miami.
