Thanks, all. Booking the later flight

What day of the week is your disembarkation? Traffic around London can be wild, and what should normally be a 'just over an hour' drive could take significantly longer if you get caught in traffic. I also wouldn't rely on the ship's transfer for the 12.15 flight, as transfers can be delayed as they wait for people who are poking their way off the ship. 

Good Q. Sunday disembarkation

We're scheduled on the Apex next April with a scheduled disembarkation in Southampton at 0700. I'm currently looking at two options for return flights (LHR->IAD). One departs LHR at 1215, and the other departs at 1640. Would folks consider the 1215 departure feasible given the scheduled disembarkation time, or should we play it safe and take the 1640 departure? 

ETA: May be worth adding that, while we're new to cruising, we're pretty savvy navigators of international ground transportation and airports (if that makes a difference to the analysis).
