No. It hasn't been since 1993 that we were allowed to claim pre-move travel and househunting as a deductible moving expense. The cost of meals, pre-move househunting expenses, temporary quarters expenses, and qualified real estate expenses is no longer deductible. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i3903--1994.pdf
Typically, there are now only two things you can claim: 1) the cost to move you (1 flight from MIA to Cincy) and 2) the cost to move your "stuff".
It may be possible to claim some jobseeking expenses here. If you have any other details regarding this question, please feel free to post them in the comment section.
More info: The deduction covers the reasonable expenses you incur to transport your personal effects and household items to your new home. You can even include the cost of renting a storage unit for up to 30 days if you are unable to move into your new home immediately after leaving your former home.
You can also include the cost of traveling to the new location for yourself and other members of your household. If you drive to the new location in a personal vehicle, you can include the actual cost of oil, gasoline, parking fees and highway tolls. In lieu of using the actual cost of gasoline and oil, the IRS permits you to calculate those costs using the annual standard mileage rate for moving. For long-distance moves, you can deduct the cost of airline and train tickets.
