I'm thinking about booking a flight leaving Logan at 10:45 am on a Monday morning in August. How early do I need to leave East Orleans?
Thanks!

Where are you flying to? International?

I would say probably around 6am at the latest, Mondays are pretty busy leaving the Cape.

Thanks, that is what I was worried about. I thought Sunday would be bad too though. Are they about both the same? Maybe a flight later in the day on Monday?

Feedback is much appreciated!

Sundays are also bad - although if you left Sunday by noon, not so bad. Unless the weather is bad - then people leave earlier in the day. And unless there is an accident, etc etc.

Noon or later would be better flight time.

An earlier flight would be better than a later flight. Is it international or domestic?? It makes a difference.

It's a little less than 2 hours from Orleans to Boston with light traffic. So figure an extra hour for commuter traffic or the occasional grid lock from an accident and add another hour and 1/2 to drop off car and check in. If you decide to leave later, say at 10 am, you could figure 4 hours and be pretty safe with plenty of time to catch a flight.

If you leave Orleans by 9 am on Sunday you should miss the bridge traffic. Most folks check out at 10-11 so you will be over the bridge before the crowds, even on a rainy Sunday. If you leave mid-day on Sunday in August you will run into traffic on the cape . So its really your call.

Thanks, boy just like Los Angeles. It's not how far, it's what time! We will be flying back to Los Angeles so, domestic. I wish we were flying international : ) No can do this year.
