How early can I catch a flight from Gran Canaria

[tiggerbbt]

Our ship gets in at 06:00. Azamara. Can I catch a 10:05 flight? Thanx

At a glance it looks distinctly risky.

 

You need to find out the disembarkation time in Gran Canaria - 6am will be ship's arrival time, so earliest disembarkation time is likely to be at least an hour later.

 

Drive-time from port to airport in Gran Canaria is about 20 to 30 minutes.

 

Then you'll be flying to ..........

..... mainland Spain ?

.... another EU country ?

... outside the EU ?

 

Is there a later flight to your intended destination (or for a connection to your final destination) ?

 

If permitted, would disembarking at the last port-of-call give you a better choice of flights ?

 

Sorry - all questions & no answers 🙄

That means going thro immigration in Gran Canaria, tho' usually no big delay..

You really need confirmation that you are likely to be able to dis-embark by about 7.30am (that'd likely be unassisted, ie haul your own bags from your cabin). 

In a taxi by 8am at the latest.

 

Otherwise I'd be inclined to play safe & book the 2pm flight.

Others might think differently

It's years since I last visited Gran Canaria and can't remember the airport at all. But I'd generally agree with John Bull that the 10.05  could be do-able if everything goes well but the later one will be much more stress free.

What about a flight to Madrid at 10:05 if I carry my luggage off with me and am flying business class?
