djcass4199 Posted July 6, 2012 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hello everyone. DW and I are cruising the Valor in September and there is an awesome promo going on right now for flights from Atlanta to Miami roundtrip for $110. What a deal! We are thinking of booking the flight and then getting a hotel with free shuttle from airport to hotel and free shuttle from hotel to Port of Miami. My two questions... 1) How much is a taxi on average from the Port to Miami airport? 2) The only Miami to Atlanta flight departs at 11:20 AM. Is this too early of a flight on debarkation day from the ship??? Any help would be so appreciated. thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted July 6, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The taxi will be around $25 from the airport to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this too early of a flight on debarkation day from the ship??? You can make it if everything goes ok. Ship arrives on time, gets cleared timely and you get off the ship quickly. I flew standby on a 10:05 flight. Any help would be so appreciated. thanks guys! ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted July 6, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Carnival says 11:30 for a flight out of MIA, so I would think you would be ok with 11:20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payd Posted July 6, 2012 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think we paid 30 including a tip - we had a great taxi driver. Your flight should be okay - if all goes well. You might consider self-debarkation so you can be off early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agc291 Posted July 6, 2012 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2012 The airport to the port of Miami is a SET RATE they cant charge you more than either $24 or $25 + tip each way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sun prairie cruisers Posted July 6, 2012 #7 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Book it!!!!!!!!!!! Not getting a better deal than that. I would just take the taxi as it is quicker and like everyone said $25 plus a tip. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted July 6, 2012 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2012 $ 25 is about right and you should be able to do your flight with self debarkation with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcass4199 Posted July 6, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Is that $25 per person or $25 dollars total for DW and I together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted July 6, 2012 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It's $25 for the cab...no matter how many are in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipbound Posted July 6, 2012 #11 Share Posted July 6, 2012 This is just a thought if you fly into FLL you can take SAS transportation to POM and back to FLL for about 15.00 Dollars each way. FLL is a smaller airport and less congested than Mia airport. I try to avoid Miami airport if possible. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(But i'm the type of person who flies in the day before because I've been scarred by all the 'I missed the ship' stories I've read here - LOL). I would definitely do self debarkation though, that way you can get off the ship on your own time and not have to wait to be called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at the same flights in April and the best price we have found is $249 per person. Very good price, which airline was this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Its also further out from the port and if they are trying to make an early fly it wont work out. As for SAS do you have to have a certain # of ppl to get this pricing?

Very good price, which airline was this? It was American Airlines. I don't think it's $110 anymore. We didn't book the day of, thinking it might be a weekend sale. I think it's $140 now.

mountaincruiser20 Posted July 7, 2012 #16 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks, thats where I got the $249 price. Just hope they go down a little more when Air Tran gets into next April. CLT is about an hour closer but over $100 more per person for our flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for SAS do you have to have a certain # of ppl to get this pricing? I believe it's $15 pp, but if you have a party of 4 or more than you'll save a dollar or two pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
