Ascott318 Posted September 1, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looking to book one way flight from San Juan to NY, everything leaving 5am or 14 hr flight with 2 stops. I did find one direct but leaving San Juan 11am, if I do platinum self assist I should be one of the 1st off ship . Do you think I can do it ???

Bases5 Posted September 1, 2014 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Yes many people here will say no flights before noon, We have a 11:15 flight anf I'm not worried. Just be ready to leave the ship as soon as it's cleared. FYI this post will most likley be moved to the port of call board so check there if you can't find it.

poppadevan Posted September 1, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2014 If you are on the Carnival Valor, you should not have a problem. The ship docks before 6:00 AM. In June, I was off the ship by 7 and at the airport before 8. We had a 10:10 flight and made it through Agricultural scan and Customs and at our flight area before 8:30. Still had time to have breakfast and read a few chapters before boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock_ON!! Posted September 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Just got off the Valor last week. They began self assist disembarkation at 7:30am. It won't be a problem. It's just a moment, this time will pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascott318 Posted September 1, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks,I think I spoke too soon. The price went up by $100 since I posted. I should have booked it and risked it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queeniemi Posted September 1, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks,I think I spoke too soon. The price went up by $100 since I posted. I should have booked it and risked it at the time. At the price difference maybe you could book a great night in San Juan and leave anytime the next day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your ship docks at 7AM, like my Celebrity Summit back in January, you can be at the airport getting your stamp clearance by 8am. Easy peasy at that hour of the morning. Flying back to JFK, like I did, or LGA or Newburgh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying back to JFK, like I did, or LGA or Newburgh? JFK ,then Airbus to Grand Central and metro-north train to Beacon. The flight times were crazy everywhere else. 5am or 14 hrs long. Thanks for help. Guess I'm going to have to buy more points to get $ down . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian_J Posted September 2, 2014 #12 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Don't forget that when you arrive at SJU, you need to have your bags scanned curbside and receive the sticker from them before the airline will check your bags in. Agriculture check or something like that. But I've heard of a few people forgetting that and needing to go do it then re-join the line, slowing them down quite a bit!
