Recommendation
For a balanced mix of cost-efficiency and time-saving, I recommend flying from Miami to a nearby major airport (e.g., Boston Logan International) and then renting a car to drive to Berlin, NH. This not only minimizes your travel time significantly but allows you to explore a bit more of New England on the road.
