sddsddean Posted November 10, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm sure this has been asked before, so apologies! How strict are P&O on check in time? We are in a Southampton hotel night before, so will probably be booted out about 11am and check in is 2:30pm, so we'd have 3 and a half hours to kill. Do we risk going a bit early?

Splice the mainbrace Posted November 10, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2022 We travelled with P&O a month ago and had a mid afternoon check in time, we like you had stayed in Southampton the night before. We turned up at 11.30 and checked in. We did have to wait for an hour in the waiting area before security and boarding to let all of the priority boarding people board first.

Simon Most hotels have a lobby or coffee shop area where you can sit and relax after vacating your room. So there is no need to worry about being "booted out". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vampiress88 Posted November 11, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Any idea what times the priority boarding is as obviously the higher loyalty tiers go first. Depending on traffic I may end up there early or later than expected. If it’s earlier I’d rather not try to find somewhere to sit in Southampton with two kids in tow. Thinking maybe 1pm- our boarding is 2pm but I don’t like to risk driving down too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess now that I'm old I like to give myself plenty of time ! feel like we’ve done this run a few times now we usually give a few hours leyway. Iona final check in is 4.30 so we should have loads of time. Only traffic so far is the m40 listening to 80s rock so having a good Saturday morning so far. Only 1hr 35mins to go but need to stop for lunch. although I’m not sure if I am going to like iona with that many people on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
