San Diego flight question

[button212]

We are booked on a Mexican Riveria cruise out of San Diego Jan 2023 on Norwegian Jewel.  I had scheduled our return flight to depart the San Diego airport at 2:30 pm and it has been rescheduled by the airline to 7:35 am.  I'm looking at our other flight options before contacting the airline to reschedule.  They have a 9 am flight available.  I'm hoping this doable if we self-assist disembark from the ship.  The cruise itinerary shows disembarkation at 7 am.  My internet search shows that the airport is only about a 10-minute drive from the port.  Otherwise, we will have to take a late evening flight or stay an additional night and fly the next morning.  Thanks in advance!

San Diego can be very inconsistent. I would not book a 9am flight. In March, we were among the first dozen or so people off our ship, and got to the airport at 8:10. That would be too tight for a 9am flight.

January 7th and 14th the Jewel will share San Diego port with the HAL Koningsdam.

 

I would advise that any flight departing prior to 11 am would be risky.

My experience in booking flights lately, sometimes trying to book end to end (SAN to CLT for example) shows very few options, but when I book by segment (SAN to SLC, SLC to CLT) I find many more options. I'd try looking at the major hubs for your airline and see what you can find.

 

SAN may have limited options to CLT, but lots  of options to SLC, DFW, ORD and ATL.

Thanks for the info.   I was able to cancel with the original airline and get a full refund because they moved our flight time over 4 hrs.  I then rebooked with another airline.
