calliecat Posted June 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 9, 2017 American Airlines has changed our departure time again. We are now scheduled to fly out at 1130 am. This is the 3rd time change and if it keeps up, we'll be leaving before the ship docks! I've read that there is a lot of construction around LaGuardia. Is it possible on a Sunday to do a walk off and get to the airport in time to make an 1130 flight? I have a couple more months before our cruise and am wondering if I need to call AA and get a later flight. I will post this on the East Coast departures as well.

kdowneymd Posted June 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If you do a walk off you should have no difficulty. There is construction but Sunday morning is not typically one of the worst times. It should be no more than 60 minutes and typically 35-45 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the first self walk off and call Uber or a car service. https://www.dial7.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 3rd time change and if it keeps up, we'll be leaving before the ship docks! That actually happened to us with a JetBlue flight a couple of years ago. They changed an 11:30 am flight to 8:30 am. We ended up flying home the next day! Wishing you good luck, Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calliecat Posted June 11, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Thanks everyone. If they don't change the flight again, I think I will keep it. We have done walk-offs several times. Regarding dial7.....would I have to give them a specific time if I don't know when I would be off the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding dial7.....would I have to give them a specific time if I don't know when I would be off the ship? We have done the walk off in Brooklyn several times with before noon flights at LGA and JFK. Have not had an issue. You will be given your bag tags and walk off time a day or 2 before the end of the cruise so you could make a quick call from onboard to update your time with Dial 7. I would give them a time around 7:00 to 7:30 then call them once in port with your walk off time ASAP to update them. Uber you could call when you walk off the ship and they would be there within 15 minutes or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted June 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted June 11, 2017 American changed my LGA flight also...from 330(1530) to 530 (1730) . So I booked a NYC city through Princess. One thing I like about ship transfers is they are responsible to get me to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waltd Posted June 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Just curious which is closer to Brooklyn Terminal LGA of JFK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenklen Posted June 11, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Choose your poison but stay away from JFK. Any option to fly from Newark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamcruzin Posted June 11, 2017 #11 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Just curious which is closer to Brooklyn Terminal LGA of JFK? JFK is 12.9 miles and LGA is 12.3 miles from Red Hook. Depending on which route you take, google maps claims that it will take 39 minutes in heavy traffic to LGA and 51 minutes to get to JFK in heavy traffic. I would say that the estimated time is close to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsea Posted June 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 11, 2017 If you can change your flight to aJFK departure, do it! LGA is being rebuilt, has been so hard to get to that people exit their cabs on the Grand Central Parkway and walk to the airport dragging their luggage.

waltd Posted June 11, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 11, 2017 You also have a choice of EWR (Newark). 19 miles. Keith might have a few tolls to pay going to NJ. :):D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding dial7.....would I have to give them a specific time if I don't know when I would be off the ship? We gave them an approximate time. Then we called them as we were disembarking to let them know we would be at the pickup spot within 30 minutes (after immigration). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted June 12, 2017 #16 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Keith might have a few tolls to pay going to NJ. :):D You got that right Joe! We used to use a car service that did not charge extra for the tolls. They took care of them It's a good alternative with extra options for us.

We used a car service last year getting off the QM2 and will be using a car service in September getting back on the QM2. Really is a great way to get to the airports.
