I have an 11:55 out of San Juan in a couple of weeks…I’ll try and remember to let you know how it goes….

Use a porter at the airport they jump the long lines except for security.

Thanks for the tip as we are aiming for an early flight too.

I don’t think it is too early, it is a small airport.

 

Just remember that your luggage has to go through agriculture inspection and get a sticker before you go to your airline check in.  We were there a few weeks ago.

Shouldn't be a problem if you are walking off with your luggage early.

 

Last New Years on the Epic we literally stayed on the ship until after 9 am.  By the time we picked up our bag, security, Uber and at the Hampton Inn Isla Verde (next to the airport), it was a few minutes before 10.

Are you sure you are on Epic?  It sails Jan 29 - Feb 5.

Not on the Epic (it was the Dawn), but we were at the airport by 7:00 once in San Juan. I booked our flight for 10:55 and I'm not worried about it. I do know that grabbing a porter can save time if the lines are long.

There's definitely some mistake in the OP's post. We're on the Epic January 22nd through 29th so I know they're not coming back into San Juan on the 28th!

No. The time is fine.

I literally just got off the Epic 2 days ago and had the 11:55am Jet  Blue flight back to Orlando.  As long as you get off the boat before 8:00am…. It’s easy…. We got off at 7:30…. Literally walked off, and straight to a taxi and was at the airport and to the gate by 8:15…… the. Had 3 1/2 hours before our flight ,)….
