Earliest Flight out of NOLA???

[teacherman]

This is way early, but there are few non-stop flights for us. We will be on Serenade of the Seas, arriving back at NOLA on Saturday, April 12. IF we walk off with our own luggage, say about 8:00 am, could we make an 11:00 am flight out of MSY? Otherwise, we have to wait all day until 5:30 pm. . Advice/info is welcome. Thank you.

I have an 11:00 flight on Sept. 8th. Carnival advises 11:30 earliest so I figured 11:00 would be very doable. We also purchased FTTF which alows us to be off with the 1st groups.

Not sure. If you do walk off early, it is probably doable. Sometimes clearing customs in NOLA (my hometown BTW :)) can be slow. Add that to catching a taxi to the airport (which is about 10-15 miles away). I'm not saying that you can't make it, just that it will be challenging. Do what you think is best. Have a great cruise.

I just left NOLA Sunday morning, I did self debarked with FTTF and I was sitting at my gate at 7:40 am! I tried to get an earlier flight but couldn't so I sat around until 10:30 for boarding. We were off the ship at 6:50, they said it was earlier than normal but I think it's very doable even if you were off an hour later.
