Here is some info for you concerning ground transportation.

This is so very helpful!  Thank you!

Checking Google maps if your plane lands on time and you get luggage by 2pm and in your taxi it shows regular traffic should have you at the port no later than 3 pm.  I show on our ap all aboard at 3:30pm

Georgia_Peaches, fingers crossed for you!  I have a good feeling you will soon be enjoying a much deserved cocktail on board!

My husband has read this to be true as well.  This gives us confirmation, so thank you.

Uber black will work great 

[sdnich]

So stressful !! But once you land you will not have a lot of traffic since it is Sat.

best of luck🤞

My TA has reached out directly to the ship.  They provided her with the shoreside Emergency Team number and advised me to call them and explain the situation.  I spoke with Miguel of the Emergency Team and he informed me that due to other passenger layovers, the latest check in time has been pushed back from 2:30 to 3 PM.  It seems our flight out of Dallas is still on time so with any luck and continued star alignment, we will be back in the air in just over an hour...

Omg, I’m so nervous for you. Hope everything aligns and you make it onboard the ship with time to spare! Wow, straight to the martini bar for you! 🍸 🚢 Good luck!

What a epic journey.   One which none of us would like to repeat.   Good luck.  

 

Hopefully you will get your luggage quickly and get to the pier on time.   I'm guessing traffic won't be too bad at the 1PM time.     From working in the are the normal time from the airport to the Pier is between 25-45 minutes.

With the plane arriving ten minutes early, hopefully that means that you also leave early. 🙂

looks like you might be in same gate for next part of flight

If you decide to go the Regular Uber/Lyft/taxi route, the LAXit facility is across from Southwest.  On the arrivals level turn left, it is roughly a 5 minute walk depending on the signal.  The shuttle is much slower as it has to go around the loop.

 

There are separate ranks for Uber, Lyft and taxis.  Usually first come first serve.  The Uber/Lyft app gives a code which you give to the driver.  

 

As others said, some of the premium Uber/Lyfts are licensed to pick up in the loop.  At least the Uber app will have a flag that says Curbside Pickup. 

 

Thankfully Saturday midday shouldn't be too busy at LAX and the 405/110 should be okay barring an accident.

We do this a lot from an airport hotel.    Should take about 30 minutes or so to do the drive.

You're making the right call by using UberBLACK at LAX. You may want to also message the situation to your driver while waiting for luggage and have him/her be ready to step on it.

This is way too stressful for me.  And I am home in bed.

[Lastdance]

Sending all the positive energy, luck of the Irish and green light your way, as you manuver through this situation...this is the world we live in now.💚

Hopefully they are onboard the plane!!

[Nado44]

Boarding has started. Fingers crossed!

 

 

[Georgia_Peaches]

Thanks for all the support everyone. We are on board a completely full flight. DH at the front of the plane, me at the back. Honestly, I’d buckle up in the lavatory if it means getting there on time. Pilot says we will arrive on time. Uber black is all set. I will communicate with him when we land. Time for wheels up!

[gerelmx]

She will arrive to LAX 12 minutes early
