What time to get Uber/Lyft back to airport for 3:30 flight?

[KJay]

Planning to take Uber or Lyft back to MCO at the end of my stay at Yacht Club. For a 3:30pm flight on a Wednesday, what time would you recommend leaving the resort? Thanks!

We like to arrive at MCO about 2 hours before our flight, so 1:30 in your case. We’d probably leave WDW around 45 minutes before, more or less, to allow for unexpected traffic delays. We don’t mind sitting at the gate for a bit - would rather that than having to worry about missing the flight!

^^ I agree, if you are late getting to the airport, the plane will leave without you. You can always shop or eat at the airport if you arrive early. Cutting it too close is NEVER a good idea when flying. MCO tends to ALWAYS be very crowded with families/small children who don't seem to fly very often and makes for a lot of congestion in the check-in and security areas.

I would leave by 12:30.

For a 2:55 flight on the Friday before Labor Day we got in our Lyft at 1235p and arrived at MCO by 110p. We have pre-check and had plenty of time to check bags and get a bite at Chili's Too. We were at the gate by 210p.

I would book the ride at 12:45. Unless it's an international departure.

A lot of answers without enough info. Do you have checked luggage? TSA pre? Does your BP have SSS? Airline matters..An.
"A" BP with SW won't mean much if you get to the gate late in the boarding process. Basic economy with JetBlue means youll be in the last group to board.

Edited to add I believe MCO is suggesting arriving 2 hours prior to scheduled departure That suggests leaving 12:30 to 12:45.

TSA pre lines at MCO are occasionally 20 minutes
