Which flight home would you choose?

[melk71]

We will be returning on the Explorer of the Seas to Port Canaveral on a Friday morning in January. We plan on renting a car (got one cheap, better deal than all of us on a shuttle) and driving to MCO. JetBlue currently has 3 afternoon flights we are interested in, 12:10, 1:10, and 3:15.

 

Not sure if 12:10 would be too much of a rush. Which flight home would you take?

 

Thanks!

If you are doing self-assist disembarkation, or can get an early luggage tag number, then I don't see a problem with the 12:10 flight.

Be safe and relaxed on your last morning on the ship and book the 1:10 flight home.

I agree, I don't want to stress about making the flight.

I would go with the 1:10 Flight but not the one before.

 

I say this because there might be a wait for the rental car, you will likely put gas in on the way

to drop it off and things sometimes go wrong.

Because you are renting a car, the 1:10 flight.

[melk71]

Thanks everyone, 1:10 it will be.

I would take the 110pm flight also.

NEW UPDATE/QUESTION

 

Just went to book our flight home and I found a better deal on a flight leaving MCO at 12:30. I booked it but am a little concerned getting there in time. Do you think I'm better off letting go of the rental car and just booking a shuttle? I'm thinking that might be faster.

 

How much time do you all give yourself from disembarking to flight?

The problem with shuttles is they will wait till they are filled and may make stops at hotels before getting to MCO. Make sure it is an airport shuttle also. You might want to check on Limo services if there are more than just 2 of you.
