FreudianSlipper Posted August 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 7, 2016 My cruise mate wants to fly home out of Long Beach after the Miracle docks January 14th. I suggested that she could fly out by 12 noon if we dock at 9. Is that good advice or does the proximity of the airport mean she could fly out by 11, or does she need to book a flight that is even later than noon? I'm flying out of LAX at 2:30 so I'm unsure about LOng Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Noon should be fine for LGB. Best to do self assist. Taking all your luggage off with you and leaving the ship as early as possible. Lately the Miracle has begun debark around 7:30 for priority and around 8 for regular. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted August 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Carnival recommends flights after 12:30 from Long Beach Airport for ships arriving at 9:00 AM in Long Beach. That being said, if you do self-disembark and take a taxi directly to the airport, you should be fine. The airport isn't far away and it's a small airport.

FreudianSlipper Posted August 8, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks everyone! I'll pass this along to her. Sounds like the original plan will go smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcimm Posted August 8, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Worst airport but you will be fine. Wow, really? LGB is small but I'd fly out of there any day before LAX or Orange County. In and out quickly with none of the big airport hassles. OP, your friend will be fine with a noon flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickide Posted August 8, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I love Long Beach airport and have an early flight booked in October. As long as we dock on time, a noon flight will be no problem. Sent from my SM-T817V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelcruiser Posted August 8, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Worse than LAX? Hahahaha! Yeah......I often catch the 1000 on AA to Phoenix from LGB doing self assist with zone 1 and TSA precheck. I have time for a coffee as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamm4151 Posted August 8, 2016 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2016 My daughter lives in Long Beach. The Long Beach airport is a hop, skip and a jump from the cruise terminal. No more than a 10-15 minute drive north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwrestler171 Posted August 9, 2016 #11 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Worst airport but you will be fine. I'd fly into LGB instead of LAX anytime I have the option. LAX is a dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
