quebec city flight time

We are cruising on Serenade of the Seas this September, which ends in Quebec City. What is the earliest flight time we should be looking at? It seems close to the airport, and yet I know there will be customs to go through. Thanks in advance to everyone who has some input.

First, the bad news: the airport is the other side of the city from the cruise port.

However, the good news is the city really isn't that big, so 20-30 minutes tops will get you from the port to YQB. Also, the airport is (even after a recent expansion) small and easy to navigate.

I would be comfortable with anything after 11 am.

Thank you Twickenham

There is no USA CBP pre-clearance at Quebec, so immigration/customs would be done on your first arrival in the USA.

Since you don't give any details on just where you are going, that's the extent of the info we can give.

I booked the airline today. Thanks

Would you also be comfortable with a 10:30am flight (especially if it is a Holland ship that had an overnight stay)?

I think since you're overnighting, you should be fine with a 10:30 flight. YQB is really quite easy to navigate, and check-in usually doesn't take more than 30-40 minutes tops.
