DShock Posted August 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Changed my original 4:00 PM departure out of San Juan on Sept 6 to a 12:50 departure on US Air. Gets us back to Denver almost 4 hours earlier so worth it to us. Anyone recently do this flight? Hoping they are all on time that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted August 4, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would not have a problem with a noon flight out of San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerman2 Posted August 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Wish we would have done an earlier fight out of San Juan on Easter Sunday 2 years ago. We were at the airport by 9:00 a.m. And waited about 6 hrs for our flight. You will be good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwbabe48 Posted August 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm doing the same, a 12:50 pm flight to KC. I wanted to take the 9:50 am flight but that is pushing it too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted August 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm opting for a 11:30am + (it keeps getting a little later each time DL makes a change) flight out of SJU..and not concerned at all...from what other's have said no need to spend more time than necessary at SJU.

ckb523 Posted August 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just remember to stop by USDA scanners before you check in at the airline counters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsunnysarah Posted August 5, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just remember to stop by USDA scanners before you check in at the airline counters. don't forget!! we didn't know the first time. you'll be fine on a noon-ish flight. we did it 3 years ago and are doing it again next year. we were at airport far ahead of time- but I am not sure I'd be comfortable with the 9:30am.

just4kixx Posted August 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 5, 2014 All bags must go through agricultural inspection at San Juan airport before they are checked by the airline. Oh okay, thanks for the heads up. I've never flown into or out of San Juan. January will be my first time.

The USDA scanners will be behind you off to the right or left. There are several in the main terminal building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2 I was a little worried about that my first cruise out of SJ last May. There have been stories of people missing that inspection and having to go back. At least as of last May, in the terminal were Southwest is, it's right inside the terminal, you can't miss it, they won't let you pass through it. We got there around 11am and there was no waiting.

trev71 Posted August 5, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Interesting its been a while since I cruised on anything but an Oasis class ship. I am crusing on Adventure in San Juan in May 2015, I am wondering if my 1215 flight via Delta. if I should walk off the ship with my bags and just wait at the airport for a while or just wait and take my turn and try to find my luggage ? Is the Walk off time still around 630 to what time ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just talk with Guest Services mid week and ask them for a low bag number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the USDA inspection has to occur BEFORE you check in with the airline or go through security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashland Posted August 5, 2014 #23 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm flying Delta (first time flying out of SJU next month) and am surprised there is even the option to miss the USDA check point :confused: So is this the reason no more RCI luggage valet at San Juan any longer..how did this work when it was offered ?

awestover89 Posted August 5, 2014 #24 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Just remember to stop by USDA scanners before you check in at the airline counters. I almost made this mistake in May, didn't realize we had to and we waited in the check-in line for about a half hour before being told we had to go back, another 20 minutes in line at USDA, then close to 45 minutes back at check in. We started getting really nervous, but got to the gate about 5 minutes before they started boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't realize we had to go through it until we tried to check our bags, not sure how they would have handled it if we didn't check bags, probably get turned away at security when trying to put the carry-ons through.
