Earliest flight you would book from Miami Airport?

[oreosmile]

Just looking at booking airfare for our Nov 22- Dec 6 b2b on Davina. What is the earliest flight time you would book from the Miami airport? We will be travelling in the Yacht Club in case that would factor into your calculations and would probably just grab a cab (3 of us)

 

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

That's tough Oreo. I think the earliest you can debark the ship would be 7:00am. This assumes there are no issues with Port Authority of course. I'm a worrier, so if something can go wrong, it will,,so if it was me,,I'd book a flight for 10:00am to be safe. Others may have differing opinions though.

I've never done YC. But when I departed the ship back in March, it took 40 minutes waiting for my luggage on the carousel inside the port terminal.

I didn't even notice that Oreo was staying in the Yacht Club. Oreo,,the baggage handlers pull all Yacht Club luggage off of the belts and they set the luggage aside. Once you come down the ramp,,,you'll be asked if you are Yacht Club. A porter will be called for you and they will help find your luggage and load it onto a cart for you, and follow you through customs. We disembarked the ship at 9:00am and we were on the curb at 9:15am. Easy Peasy!!!!

personally I wouldn't book before 12-1pm. You never know really how long it could take. Then you gotta allow yourself time to get to the airport and should be there 2hrs prior to flight.

On our 3 Divina cruises we have been in the airport at 815 of course we carry our own luggage off.

We were in a YC2 on the Divina 8/16 cruise. We usually walk off with our luggage, but our butler assured us that pick up outside our room the night before would be easier and just as efficient. We met in the Yacht Club for breakfast and were escorted off the ship in the priority line at 7:15 a.m. Our luggage was waiting for us by the conveyer. Excellent disembark. We got a cab and were at MIA by 8 a.m. We had plenty of time to check bags for our 10 a.m. Flight.

Thanks for the advice! Sounds like an 11:30 flight should be no problem. There is a 10am one as well, but I don't think I want to end vacation with any stress.

I'm on an 11:30 flight to Charlotte, I'll let you know how it goes, I have a 3 hour layover in Charlotte. :rolleyes:

Something just occurred to me, do taxis take credit cards, in Miami specifically? I've always used cash, but, I might be a little short this time, unless I find a Bank of America ATM in my travels.

any flight before 12 pm would make me worried . You never know how big is line to take a cab ar how long it will take to US customs to clear the ship.
