Our flights were delayed getting out of Fort Lauderdale by about 45 minutes, and mine sat on the tarmac for another 45 min. 🙄. I got home a little after midnight. At least we got home and did not have to deal with cancelled flights like many others on our cruise, and other cruises, did.
We were able to hang with my DD’s friend while waiting for our flights who has a vacation home 20 min. from the airport. This saved us having to sit on our luggage for hours at the airport. FLL does not allow baggage check until 4 hours before your flight. If you have a late flight try to book a hotel for the day. It’d be worth it!
