ransrider Posted March 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 12, 2017 6 of us getting off Harmony February 3, 2018 arriving in Port Everglades at 7 a.m. Is a 10:45 flight out of FLL too early? Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravbo Posted March 12, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yes. Too many things could go wrong. Late arrival Delayed disembarkation Immigration customs delays Transportation issues Not worth the stress. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted March 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted March 12, 2017 For a 10:45 flight you need to be at FLL NLT about 9:15, and 8:45 would be better - FLL TSA can be chaos on busy days. For 6 the fastest way to FLL will be two taxis at about $15 each -- you might squeeze into one mini-van cab if no one packs like my wife :rolleyes: - and the ride takes about 15 min. If you carry your bags off, and are clear of customs/immigration by about 8:30 you should be fine. Do you want to spend your cruise worried about making your flight home? :confused: I would book a flight leaving about noon or later and relax.

BlueHerons Posted March 12, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yes, you can make this flight but you also might not. I would not take the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted March 12, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 12, 2017 DH and I can and do book a 10:50 flight often. But we know procedures and timing. Lots of experience. And too, things are always easier with two. With 6...I wouldnt. Only because if you do miss the flight, finding 6 empty seats on the next flight will be tough.

Sent from my iPad using Forums Like I said, do you want to spend your cruise worried about making your flight home? :confused: Book a flight leaving at noon or later, sleep in, enjoy one last breakfast in the MDR, stroll off the ship after the rush, and still have plenty of time to catch your flight home.

ransrider Posted March 14, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Thanks to all for the wise advice, especially to eandj for reminding me we are travelling with 6 this time not 2 as we usually do. We booked return flight out of FLL for 12:15. Feel more relaxed already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdnd Posted March 14, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2017 We booked a 11a last year but we had a delay since they had to make an emergency stop to evac someone and a lot of ppl missed their flights. Had to book a hotel for the night since we didn't have any flights out. Lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
