skings Posted November 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hello off MSC Meraviglia in Kiel May 2, 2020. I am elderly traveling solo and use a mobility walker. Plan a flight on Air France Hamburg to CDG. Would I be able to book a 2:00 flight? Do I really need to be at CDG 2 hours before flight? If I am off ship at 9AM take train directly to Hamburg airport, am I taking a risk? Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean Hamburg. I would say that you definitely need to be at Hamburg airport by 12:00. Gates will shut around 30 minutes prior to departure, so, in reality, arriving at 12:00 only gives you a 90 minute buffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted November 27, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2019 From Hamburg Cruise terminal you can either take the S1 train - 30 to 40 minutes at a cost of €5 or a TAXI - 20 minutes priced at €35 to 45 . You should plan to be at the airport no later than 12 for a 2 pm flight - with a 9 am cruise arrival that shouldn’t be a problem. No risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ine Posted November 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2019 It seems you have some walking problems, why not also make a reservation with your airline for wheelchair transportation at the airport. That way you skip some walking and get priorty boarding etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am going to book a flight late in the afternoon to relieve the stress factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems total traveltime to Kiel station, then by train from Kiel to Hamburg airport will be about 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted December 2, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Make sure you have a decent connection at CDG too, because while you will be clearing security at HAM, you will clear immigration at CDG as that's your port of exit from the Schengen area.
