[otis]

My wife and I are traveling to aruba jan- 7 thru 28 and i have a few questions about the early morning flight home.

1- taxi service from costa linda that morning around 5 or 6am

2- how busy is the airport this early

3- what time should we arrive to the airport

We always had a direct flights from philadelphia to aruba never this early.

Thanks,
steve

1) Wife and I were on the American flight last year thru MIA about that same time. We ordered a taxi the day before and it picked us up that morning without issue. We were at the Ocean Club.
2) Semi-busy, but nothing like the hours around the PHL non-stop. Aruban customs was our hold up that morning. It was lightly manned.
3) We arrived about 5:30am if memory serves me.

I OFTEN TAKE THE FIRST FLIGHT ON AMERICAN TO MIAMI AND THE FLIGHTS LEAVES AT 7:45am AND 8:45 AFTER THE FALL TIME CHANGE.

You need to find out what time the ticket counter opens. I believe it is 5 a.m. but it could have changed. When you are down there call the American number at the airport and they'll tell you. No sense in getting there too long before ticket counter opens but.... there will probably be a line waiting for it to open.

And AA processes a good 30 minutes or more worth of people before the 1 Aruban Custom Agent goes on duty.
