10:44am flight out of San Juan???

[1Winston]

Hey Folks,
Could we make a 10:44am flight out of San Juan?
Thank you

It depends on how debarkation goes... Disney recommends a later flight than that - I'm seeing 11:30am noted. You *should* be able to make the earlier one if everything goes smoothly and you get off the ship right away. To be safe I would stick with their recommendation though and book a later one if possible. We ended up having to book one that doesn't leave until almost 4pm as the earlier ones were just too early for comfort... I would not want to get stuck in San Juan when I have to be at work the next day!

After the WBTA in 2014, the debarkation was a chaos at immigration. We almost missed our flight at 1 p.m. to Atlanta.
Just to be sure, I would not book a flight that early.

Add in questions about process in today's San Juan, and I wouldn't try it.

I would not try this.

Years ago my husband and I debarked DCL in San Juan and it was major chaos in the custom lines at the port. Additionally, when we arrived at the airport the TSA line was almost out of the door. I just would not chance it if I were you.

My understanding is the airport is operating okay, but I do not know that you can rely on the regular volume of cabs and other transport from the port as prior.

Since some Canadian airlines have decided to suspend operations there until Spring I would say no... even if it is technically open and receiving flights they aren't really operating at 100% imo.

That's why I said "operating okay." They are receiving flights and shipping flights back out. It is an airport.

But I would expect both the cruise port and airport to have fewer transport options than when the island was fully functional.

Oh for sure - I wasn't responding to you, just chiming in.

All the reports on crusecritic that I’ve read say it’s all good there. They also say there are cabs at the port like normal.

BUT. So far it’s only been royal Caribbean there. Just Adventure. Once the other lines come back it’ll be busier and busier. There might be growing pains.


As for Air Canada and west jet, who knows why they’ve suspended their flights? They’ve got some reasoning that they aren’t sharing.

That would be my concern: Will the number of cabs scale? There are a lot of units out of service due to damage. Gas availability is still sometimes not great, as well.
