Airline departure time ?

[Surfergirl]

we have a chance to book our flights for a really good price on Jetblue. Our problem is deciding which return flight to book.
There is a flight out of Orlando at 11:25 and another at 4:15. If we take the Disney bus from port to airport after the cruise, can we make it early enough to check in with Jetblue and catch the 11:25 flight?
Also what is the cost of the Disney bus one way if you book it while onboard or before hand?

We had a flight at 11:50 am back home, and there was plenty of time to get to the airport from the ship. I think we disembarked at around 7:30-8 am and had plenty of time to make it to the airport. Don't wait too long on the boat since the airport security check lineups can be a bit lengthy.

The afternoon flight might be nice in that you won't need to rush off the boat. Some people stay until 9 am I think to take in a few of the last minute services. But with a bunch of luggage, I think I'd rather just as well get home earlier rather than figure out what to do until 4 pm.

You'll have no problem with the flight time. We've been at the airport as early as 9:15, although other times, they didn't let people disembark until 9 am. It's totally up to US customs and when the finish "clearing" the ship. However....we've always been able to get off by 9 (sometimes much earlier), and the bus takes you right away...no waiting. It is just about an hour to the airport.

As to one way transfers, sorry, I can't help you there. Call DCL or your TA on Monday. Round trip were $42 last time I checked.
