Miami appears in the documents primarily as a transit hub on flight manifests between 2002-2007, with 61 mentions across 42 documents showing frequent flights to/from Miami International Airport (MIA) connecting to Palm Beach and other locations.

All mentions are from flight manifests showing Miami as a departure or arrival point, typically paired with Palm Beach destinations. The documents show regular air traffic through Miami between 2002-2007, with particular clusters in March 2005, March 2007, and September 2005. While Miami itself appears frequently in flight records, the substantive Epstein activities in South Florida were centered at his Palm Beach mansion (about 70 miles north), where the criminal investigation began in 2005 and where many alleged assaults occurred.
