How early can we safely book our air ticktet home

[AK Dreaming]

We are returning to Seattle on the Golden Princess at 7:00am. Flying back to South Florida so the only way to get home before Sunday is to leave early. Also what is the best/fastest way to get off the ship and get to the airport?

Do the self walk off in the first group with your luggage and take a cab or car service.

I would say 11:30 for the earliest flight. :)

The personalizer should tell you the earliest suggested time for plane flights home.

 

You might be able to make flights earlier than that listed time.

There's a reason why Princess has suggested earliest flight times. :) You may make an earlier flight and some will say they make earlier flights all the time but I'd say be conservative and go by the suggested time. I'd rather wait an extra hour in the airport than watch my flight take off without me and stress over making another flight.

Walking off with all of your luggage and grabbing a taxi may be the best bet to get to the airport quickly, but as Pam mentioned, it is wise to be conservative. We've experienced immigration delays and medical emergency delays which can delay everyone - not often, but often enough to make us cautious.

United Airlines has a flight at 1:59PM (13:59) to FLL dayly, with one stop, you should be able to make that, by disembarking in the first group. :rolleyes:

Maybe the OP has seen the suggested flight times and is planning on doing that already.

I agree. We have done this three times with no problems and 11:30 is about as early as I would attempt.
