Seattle 1145 Flight Time????

[jstrutton]

We are on the Carnival Legend and picked a flight post cruise leaving @ 1145 from Seattle. Considering that Carnival will be the only ship docking on a Tuesday I thought the customs process might go quicker. I know the weekends have multiple ships.

 

I'm thinking as long as we get off the ship by 0800ish, that should put us catching a taxi at 845ish and off to the airport, hopefully arriving around 930ish.

 

Sound reasonable????

A little reading on the board would reveal noon is the recommended time. You are right on the line. Yes, it might be easier to clear Customs on a weekday- might- but there is also week day traffic.

 

You will probably be fine, but you need to keep moving.

The big problem with Seatac on cruise days is not getting to the airport, it's the security lines. On a Tuesday, I'd think 11:45 would be fine.

Thanks; that's what I was thinking as well. It is in the middle of the week, we are the only cruise ship in town and mid-day. So, unless something weird happens, I'll ask for the early departure from the ship and head over to airport. Hopefully being there by 930 or so; plus we are already on the TSA pre-check line anyway which should help out too.
