Am I giving myself enough time to make my flight?

[flyersfan1173]

Our ship arrives at the New Orleans terminal at 7:00 a.m.    It is a typical 35-45 minute ride to the airport (although it could take as little as 25 minutes).   I have a flight leaving at 11:15 a.m.    Am I giving myself enough time to make my flight without rushing around the airport?    Do they start letting you off right at 7 a.m.?   I figure even if we get off the ship at 9....I should still get to the airport with 1 and a half hours before the flight.   Thoughts?

Can you walk off early with your bags?

[flyersfan1173]

Yes.  We will have 1 suitcase between the 2 of us....we pack light!   So no issue bringing our suitcase with us as we leave.

Yes..you  will be fine, barring something totally unforeseen.

You are golden. Don't fret.

 

Walk off early.   You will have lots of time for coffee at the airport.  More time than you think.

As long as the ship doesn't arrive back in port late, there is no reason why you shouldn't make that flight since you have only 1 suitcase between the 2 of you.

Thanks everyone!

No worries! If everything goes according to plan, you will definitely make it!

That should be enough time, BUT sometimes fog delays NO arrivals.

 

You can expect disembarkation to begin around 8:00 and using regular disembarkation you should be off by 9:30 at the latest. In No you need to be at the airport no later than 10:00 for that flight. I  think that it is a little to tight for my taste but you can probably make it.
