happysails2U Posted February 20, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Whats a safe time to schedule a flight out of San Diego? Am I safe scheduling around noon, or must I plan for a later one? How long to the airport from the pier, and what delay time to allow for? Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakrewser Posted February 20, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2005 WE caught an 11:50 AM flight so noon should be fine, but plan on taking a taxi -- not HAL's shuttle. The air[port is less than 10 minutes from the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlecruiser Posted February 20, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2005 dakrewser, are taxis pretty easy to find after you get off the ship? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pincus Posted February 20, 2005 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Taxis are immediately available...and a noon flight is recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 20, 2005 #5 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Just be aware that at times San Diego does have foggy mornings. We were to get the Ryndam one time out of San Diego. The fog was very bad that morning. We stood out on our vernadah and listened to the fog horn of the ship as she approached the pier. Then suddenly we saw her cut through the fog - time was 10 AM. We left the hotel at noon but were turned away at the pier as they were still unloading passengers from the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedmondCruiser Posted February 20, 2005 #6 Share Posted February 20, 2005 The airport at San Diego is very close to the pier. In SD and FLL I always try for a 1PM flight time. That leaves some give in the time line. Sometimes the ships get in late, for varous reasons. Once on the Zaandam, offloading did not start until 10 AM - and no reason was given. I hate missing a flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks As Pincus says, there's a line of them waiting as you get off the ship and even if they're all gone it's only 20 yards or so to the street where dozens go by every couple of minutes.
