downundermatt Posted June 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2019 We are arriving into Miami at 0500, and I would like to fly out at 1000 (on a Monday) We will walk off with bags, and a friend will pick us up and drive us us to the airport. Is this achievable or am I too ambitious ? Thanks for your advice. (we live in Australia, and hope to catch up with friends in Dallas, before flying home) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Noxequifans Posted June 25, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You should have plenty of time. However, an 0500 arrival does not usually mean passengers disembark at that time. Count on at least an hour or more later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted June 25, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Ship arrival at 5:00 does not mean you can necessarily walk off at 5:00. But the ride from POM to MIA only takes 15-20+ minutes. For a 10:00 flight you need to be at the airport by about 8:00 to be safe, which should be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted June 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You are going to hit Monday rush hour traffic. Try and head to the airport before 7am to avoid traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 26, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Need more specifics. What date? What ship? In general 10:00 AM is very risky and I would not recommend it but need more specifics from you. Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downundermatt Posted June 29, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Boy am I glad I asked for the feedback ..... Thanks for the feedback. I fool so foolish we actually dock in Fort Lauderdale (not Miami, so I know I need extra time .....)

BNBR Posted June 29, 2019 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Just now, downundermatt said: Boy am I glad I asked for the feedback ..... Thanks for the feedback.

Keith the sailing is the Celebrity Reflection Transatlantic in November (previous port Nassau the day prior) Still doable. If you are off at 7am, about an hour drive on a Monday morning with the extra traffic. At the airport by 8am with time to spare. If you can get off earlier than 7, all the better. If you get off later, could be stressful. It's not super risky, but not without risk, either. When I sailed reflection, we were off around 7:20am and we lined up for self, but we didn't show a 5am arrival, we had a 7am arrival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted June 29, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2019 if you are not stopping in any US ports before PE then you may have extra immigration to deal with just a thought If you already booked the flights it is a moot point get off as early as you can & do not dilly dally airport security can be slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
