Although if you fly out of phili you can get a little cheaper.

I could be wrong but I believe it depends if its domestic or international.  On domestic flights the bags go to the final destination.  If final destination is international, the bag does not go to the last stop.  If anyone has further information or if I am mistaken please let me know.

My understanding in your case is that since your ticket is fully domestic the luggage goes to the final destination.  You will have to ship it instead.  Based upon my personal experience, USPS Priority Mail is the cheapest and fastest service.

I do not know the cost to ship to MIA.  I have shipped large boxes via USPS Priority Mail to Hawaii and most recently paid about 110 per box inclusive of insurance.  I am not sure if the rate is the same to MIA.  I did check UPS prices and they were double what Priority Mail was.

A general eBay seller rule is if it's ten pounds or more then USPS will be cheapest. And MIA definitely cheaper than HNL.

Forgive me if this is already discussed, how do you use hidden city to fly to a destination that is not available non stop? when you search hidden city, it's trying to navigate through your city to the next, but that only works if there are non stop flights between your origin and desired destination. how do you allow it to have extra stops in the middle?
