Galverston return flight time

[Anyislandwilldo]

Sailing out of Gavelston in Feb.  What is the earliest I can schedule my return flight?  Flying out of Hobby (HOU)  I have option 10:30 or 4:30  TIA

[Schoifmom]

I wouldn't chance a 10:30.  You could make it under the following conditions:

• If your ship gets into port on time
• If you are the first off the ship
• If you carry off your luggage
• If your ride is ready and waiting
• If there is no traffic
• If you are not checking a bag
• If you have TSA pre-check

See what I mean?

Definitely 4:30, especially in February when fog can be a very real issue. There have been times in Feb. when we didn't even dock back in Galveston until after noon.

February is a big fog delay month.  I would do the 4:30 pm flight

First time out of Galveston.  Thanks for the tip on the fog.  4:30 it is!

Next up, does anyone suggest a shuttle from the airport to the cruise port?  TIA

Check out the Gulf Coast Departures Forum, lots of good info that will help you out with transportation.

There's Galveston Express, Galveston Limo, and Island Breeze, and there are also local family-owned type business such as Galveston Saltwater Moms if you're looking for a more personalized experience.

We used Galveston Limo in Oct for the first time and were very impressed with both the service, the price, and the vehicles. It was $50 pp round trip.

Try the cruise air forum for flight questions.

We did a later Flight out time, once we did an early flight and we couldn't enjoy our memories of the ship due to rushing and nervous we would miss our flight.

Galveston is on the West Coast?

Thank you everyone who answered my question instead of directing me to a different page.  Much apprenticed!
