GaryNFla Posted October 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hello everyone... We get off the Silhouette March 16 in Fort Lauderdale and to get a decent price on the flights we would need to fly home from Miami at 10:50am.. Is that pushing it to close..

JohninDC Posted October 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You'll get better responses on the FLA departure board, but the short answer is YES it is TOO CLOSE!!!! :eek: For a 10:50 flight from MIA you need to be at the airport NLT 9:20 (and MUCH earlier is better if you have ever seen the chaos known as TSA security lines at MIA). To be at the airport by 9:20 means in a cab/limo/shuttle, with bags and rolling by about 8:30 (8:15 or earlier on a week day with rush hour traffic). IF you carry your bags off, and IF the ship is not delayed, and IF there are no customs/immigration delays, and IF your port to airport transportation works without a problem you could make a 10:50 flight from MIA. Do you want to spend your cruise worried about making your flight home? :confused: Do yourself a favour and book a flight leaving out of FLL or after about noon from MIA. ;) Good luck! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted October 16, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2013 We wouldn't try that. How lucky do you feel? What are the alternatives if you miss the flight? How many in your party? How many at stand by seats would you need if you miss it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouhunter Posted October 16, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2013 All I can say is I would never schedule that. No decent airfare from FLL? Even factoring in the extra ground transportation cost from FLL to MIA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 16, 2013 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2013 There is a good probability that you would not make this flight. I would not do it. Too risky. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamiyogi Posted October 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Too close for comfort. What a terrible way to finish a relaxing vacation, stressing out to make a flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyotraveler Posted October 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I don't think I would even try out of FLL and MIA is even riskier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandj Posted October 16, 2013 #9 Share Posted October 16, 2013 thanks everyone..I was able to get a 10:50 out of Fort Lauderdale Smart move...Perfect time!!! No need to self disembark. Set up your disembarkation for 8-8:15 and you will be there in plenty of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
