What time does your flight leave?

We are looking at our flights down to Jamaica (we just need to book a one-way since we booked the rest of our flights a few weeks ago) and the best deal is for a flight that leaves at 5:50 in the morning and arrives at 8:35 in the morning. There are many pros and cons to this flight... it would be nice because it won't be as busy but getting up that early is going to be a drag. 

What time does your flight leave? Any thoughts on leaving super early in the morning? (This is also three days before our actual wedding day)

    We are leaving at 5:30 AM from Newark so we have to leave the day before and get a hotel up there, but it works out because they will keep our car. We arrive in Hawaii at 1 PM. The only con I can think of for you would be you getting there that early and your room won't be available. Maybe you can call them to make sure you get an early check in. Otherwise, you have that whole day to do anything you want once you get here, which to me, is awesome!!

  • My flight leaves way too early!  5:30am... not sure what I was thinking...lol.. traveling with three kids and my mom that early is not going to be fun!

    BUT it was the only time to leave tht puts us in DR early enough to enjoy the evening the day we arrive ;)  So I'm sure it will be worth it.  I just need to be prepared and prep the kids.

  • Mine leaves at 6am, and we get into Puerto Rico at about 3:30 or so. Personally I like early flights since they tend to be less crowded and security isn't insane yet.
  • Haven't bought my tickets yet but I am planning to catch a super early flight (6 or 7am) b/c I want to spend most of the first day exploring the resort & relaxing at the resort/beach!

    Our flight leaves at 12:59am on Tuesday June 12th... I don't know if that is considered really late for Monday or really early for tuesday lol!  We picked this because we will get into Jamaica at 10am so we will still have almost the whole day and it won't be spent in a plane!

  • ours leaves at 7am.....but they want us there 3 hours early instead of 2 because of the group check in. We arrive in Cancun at 3:30pm.

  • Our flight leaves around 10am. Originally it left around 8am. We wanted the earlier flight and were annoyed when it got changed. I would so go with a really early flight, not have to deal with as much airport BS and have I full day at our destination.
  • We leave at 7:15am. We had to do an early flight in order to make the ferry to our destination. We arrive in San Jose at 11:45am. 

    My ideal time to fly is around 7-8am. 5:30am does seem very early...you will have to get there at 3:30 YIKES ! Is there something around 7 or 8 ?

  • i agree with leaving early so you get to enjoy the day. If you can't get an early check in, just be sure to pack your bathing suits in your carry on and ask the front to hold your bags and jump in the water!!

    Jenn! I am about 20 minutes or so from Newark Airport!
