How early a flight out of Orlando from Port Canaveral

[CanHardlyWait4NextYear]

Planning on rental car from Port Canaveral to MCO on a Sunday morning. Hoping to be off ship by 730-800am (basically as soon as I can). What would be the earliest flight I could make out of Orlando?

I'd feel okay with noon. You have to get off, get to the rental car place, rent the car, drive to MCO (little less than an hour), drop off the car, check bags, get through security. (MCO has been advising 2-hours early arrivals--for domestic flights.)

MCO is horrible for long lines at baggage drop off and security.  Lots of families leaving Disney.

We've done 11 AM and made it. Can't guarantee it, just saying we made it with plenty of time to spare.

I would book the ships shuttle and avoid the rental car dance.  I wouldn't book a flight much before noon.  As mentioned MCO is horrible for processing TSA unless you have pre-check or flying 1st class.  Sunday morning will be especially slow with other ships and people leaving the theme parks.

Flight is 11:50am. No choice unless we want to spend another $400 each. Coming in day before. Using rental car to the port. Taking private shuttle, just for us, back to airport. Also getting tsa pre check next week. Made last minute plans to fly home the day before Thanksgiving at 6am for family visit, so we can now really justify tsa pre check cost. Lol.

I like renting a car coming in the day before but You might want to reconsider a car rental and look into a shuttle from the port to Mco. You can do a group shuttle or private shuttle by be to the airport in less than 1 hour.  If you rent a car then you have to pick it up and turn it in.
