Rare joestein514 Posted April 17, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2022 We are cruising from the Port of Miami in June. We are returning on a Sunday. What time is the earliest return flight to book at Miami Airport? I have seen a flight at 11:20am? Is that doable? Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted April 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2022 11:20 is doable. Plan on carrying off your bags and grabbing a cab. You will want to be off the ship in the first groups, if you can pre-arrange that (usually carrying off your own luggage gets you off in the first couple of groups.

Corby114 Posted April 18, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 18, 2022 11:20AM is fine as long as you are one of the first passengers off of the ship. Grab a cab and head for MIA. The security line at MIA is usually very long but you shouldn’t have a problem making your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare joestein514 Posted April 18, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Sounds like it will be tight based upon the responses. I don't want to have to rush or worry about getting home. Currently it is $1400 for 4 people to fly from JFK to Mia and back with the return flight at 11:20. The next flight leaves at 3:30 but the price goes up to $2000. I could stay to 7:50 and get the next flight which would bring the price back to $1400 - but then I get home pretty late. If I am gonna spend $2000, I can just fly from EWR which I prefer. EWR is 45mins - 1hr closer to my house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingston13 Posted April 19, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Have you looked into flying back from FLL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying is getting ridiculous. I did change from FLL to MIA the night before to save on additional hotel costs.

Rare joestein514 Posted April 20, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thanks for the advice. We ended up booking round trip from Newark to Miami. Cost me $2088. Oh well... I guess that is why I work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KINGBOBOFTHENORTH Posted April 21, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Well if you live in NJ, Newark makes more sense than going all the way over to JFK. My wife & I got off a ship in Miami in February. We did the self-disembark so were among the first off and in the taxi line. We got to MIA so quickly for our 10:30am flight that they were able to put us on standby for the 8:30am flight and we made it. I would never book an 8:30am flight but we've got a 10:40am booking for when we get off our next cruise. So you can definitely make an 11:20am flight.
