Solstice Mexican Riviera: What's the Earliest flight from SNA or LAX Airport

[kwokpot]

I'll  be sailing on the 2/18/23 Solstice Mexican Riviera cruise. What would be the earliest flight from SNA/John Wayne or LAX Airport we can take

on disembarkation? Would a 10AM flight work? It would be a Saturday. Thanks for any contributions!

More information needed

 

Will you be self-disembarking or will you need to claim luggage in the terminal?

What is your plan for getting to the airport?

Is your flight domestic or international?

will you be checking luggage or do you have carryon only?

Do you have any airline status that would allow you to check in more  quickly?

do you have TSA precheck?

what happens if you miss your flight?

how full is the next flight and what will your chances of flying standby be?

No matter what the situation, I think 10:00 is cutting it too close.... 

[LaCal]

I’d go with flights that are 12noon and on 

 

10am is cutting it way to short 

[ScubaDo]

I would not for LAX, and it is risky for LGB and SNA. We are doing 1330 for LGB.

Self disembarkation

uber/Lyft or taxi to airport

domestic to East Coast

carryon only

No premium Airline status

TSA Precheck

If we miss the early flight then the next available flight

 

Having said all this we may go the opposite way and have a later flight after 9:00pm and rent a car to do some post-cruise touring in the LA area. Fares for red eye flights are the lowest cost.  Currently the airfare from East coast to LA area are very expensive, over $500 rt. The week of the cruise is public school Winter Recess for many East Coast schools, which exacerbate the situation. But we're traveling with family members that have to travel that week.
