mabones Posted January 23, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2017 How far is the port from the Airport? I heard it was at least an hour away? We always book for after 12 noon to allow for late arrival & traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLCfirsttimer Posted January 23, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2017 It says we will get into the Port of Galveston at 8 a.m. and we will be flying out of Hobby airport. What is the very earliest I should consider booking a flight home? 1:00 PM. Even if you dock at 8, you still have to wait for customs to clear the ship, priority passengers to leave, etc. Tack onto that the drive time to get to Hobby, checking bags, security, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted January 23, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2017 IF all things go well. Off the ship by 9AM Clear Customs and Immigrations by 9:30 In a cab or car service and on the road by 9:45 At the airport by 10:45 Checked in and luggage checked by 11:00 Through security by 11:30,,,, I'd say noon What's the backup plan for fog delaying the ship getting into Galveston a day later? What are the airlines fees to change your flights. Can you even get seats on next flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted January 23, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Don't book anything before noon....Houston traffic can be a nightmare and road closures and lately flooding of roads can make your commute to either airport double the time.

glrounds Posted January 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 24, 2017 With all the answers, all of which I agree, I'd even add an hour and don't book a flight before 1:00 Sent from my GT-P5210 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuddles Posted January 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We just got off the Breeze yesterday and it was the worst debarkation we have encountered. We were fine with being one of the last off the ship, 10:30, but then we got to wait in line for 2 hours for customs. I talked to a few local people and they said it was the worst they had ever seen. The thing is, there really did not seem to be a reason. We lucked out because our flight was at 5:45 but there were people asking to cut the custom line because they were going to miss flights. I say the later the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DenaInWyo Posted January 24, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with anything before 2, but I'm a bit of a worrier. I would rather spend an hour or two eating lunch at the airport than miss my flight. We had a 3pm flight when we sailed last April 4. We were at the airport at about 12, but we didn't rush getting off the ship, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
