Question about departing Grand Cayman?

Newbie Joined: 12 Feb 2008 Posts: 13 Location: Minnesota

Our flight is scheduled to leave this Saturday shortly after 2pm. We will need to drop our car off at Andy's at the airport as well. How early do we need to get to the airport? When we leave Aruba they have US customs we have to do there so we always have to be there three hours in advance. How do customs work when leaving Grand Cayman, We have a four hour layover in NC before flying into Mpls.

Thank you!

You need to get to the airport about 2 hours in advance. Sometimes the lines are long to check in--so we prefer to be closer to the front than to get nervous about how slow the lines are going---departure fees are included in your airline ticket.

After checking in and checking bags you go through security screening and immigration and then into the waiting room.

You also need to dump water bottles etc. Same rules as the US. 3 oz. bottles in a 1 quart bag.

hope you had a good trip

You will go through US Immigration and Customs when you land in NC.

Happy to hear you're having a great time. Can't wait for the trip report!

Just one more tidbit of info before you head for the airport... Make sure your carry-on ziploc clear baggie (for liquids) is quart size. If it is gallon they will not let you continue through security.

Are you flying US Airways? They have the longest line I've ever seen at any airport....I would get there at least 2-3 hours early. I think Saturday is a busy travel day.
