need2travel Posted May 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I think I know what the answer will be, but I have to try. We're sailing on the Amsterdam, with disembarkation in San Pedro on December 21, 2018, one of the busiest days of the year for travel. We'd like to take an 11:30 a.m. flight out of Orange County. Is this possible? Would you recommend a 12.40 flight instead? I realize we must be first off the ship and carry our own luggage. Thank you for your opinions and expertise.

Kamloops50 Posted May 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Go for the later flight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky61 Posted May 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I think you can make an 1140 flight.:) But then again I am a person that dosn't get stressed about missing a flight.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted May 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Are there flights you could take from Long Beach instead of SNA in Orange County?? That would make it easy for you to get to an 11 something flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted May 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Since it’s only an extra hour I would book the later flight to give you some leeway if the LA traffic acts up or maybe I should have said when the LA traffic backs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted May 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Yes, consider the second flight as that is one of the busiest days for most airports. It's not just the extra traffic, but people get pretty stressed out so if you pad in some extra time, you'll be less likely to feel affected by those raging.

ATSEAMYLIFE Posted May 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Book later flight. However, you will find SNA very passenger friendly. Easy to get to, security is efficient, and plenty of great places to grab a bite of food or drink. I would book SNA any day over any other airport in the area. Plus you will be the morning of the 21st so not as bad as later in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2travel Posted May 26, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Thanks, everyone. We've decided to go with the later flight out of SNA. The extra hour will give us breathing room and, more importantly, at our age we aren't in a position to pull an "OJ" running through the airport to catch a flight. Happy sailing to all of you.

Donray Posted May 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 26, 2018 You will be in rush hour on Friday morning. Figure at least 2 hours travel to John Wayne airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
