WFlamingo Posted September 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 26, 2022 First, I want to say that my thoughts are with all the Floridians preparing for Ian. I grew up in Houston and remember preparing for (and recovering from) several hurricanes growing up. However, I have long been gone from the Gulf Coast and so am looking to those with more experience here for some travel advice. I am sailing out of Miami on Thursday afternoon (the 19th) on Carnival Sunrise for a 4-day with my daughter, sister, and neice. I am wondering if you think it better to fly into Miami Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, given the current path of the storm. Currently scheduled Cleveland to Miami through Baltimore Wednesday night. While it would be ideal to fly earlier, that is not an option. TIA for your thoughts.

Rothko1 Posted September 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 26, 2022 By Wednesday night the storm should be well north of Miami, on the other coast, almost up to the Tampa area. I think you will not have a problem flying in on Wednesday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccio Posted September 26, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Check to find out where the plane(s) that you will be boarding originate. You don't want to be scheduled on equipment coming from the Gulf Coast of Florida because they may be cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, flying in either Wednesday night or Thursday morning should be all right with no advantage to either. Your flights will all stay well away from Ian, and Miami will likely have seen the worst of it by Wednesday evening. Enjoy your cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFlamingo Posted September 27, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it! I'm going to hold steady with Wednesday night, unless Ian decides to make a major shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothko1 Posted September 27, 2022 #6 Share Posted September 27, 2022 There's been a lot of rain in South Florida today, but not too much wind. I think you will be fine by tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twins_to_alaska Posted September 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hope you're on the Spirit flight and if so that it goes through! See the 4 Southwest flights from BWI to MIA are cancelled today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rothko1 Posted September 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I wonder if he made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
