Timing San Pedro to LAX

[marden1970]

We will be getting off of a Princess Cruise on 1/7/23 (a Tuesday).  I have booked a flight on Delta that leaves at 1:30pm.  Is this enough time?  I think it's fine but my husband doesn't.  He's the what if this or that happens type of person.  I would change it to the next flight but it doesn't leave until 8:30pm.  He will need wheelchair assistance at the airport which might delay by a few minutes.  If using airport wheelchair assistance do you get thru security quicker or do they wait with you in the regular line?  Sorry for all the questions; we haven't flown in years.  We usually cruise from San Fran and just take Amtrak.  Thanks.

1:30 should be more than enough time.

It's 20 miles from the pier in San Pedro to LAX.  A Tuesday morning probably means a little traffic...but, conservatively, figure about an hour to get there...So, say you are off the ship by 9:00, you are at LAX by 10:00 with three and a half hours to get through whatever check-in, dropping off bags and getting to the gate...You won't need nearly that much time even in the worst case.

 

I don't use a wheelchair, but IIRC, I've seen them moving people in wheelchairs to the front of the security line...Even if not, as I said, you have plenty of time...

I guess it depends on when your ship arrives and how you are getting to the airport,but a LOT would have to go wrong to not make a1:30 flight I think.
