We flew FLL-DFW after a Thanksgiving cruise. We were off the ship and luggage collected before 10am and our flight was not scheduled to depart until 4:45p. Twelve minute ride to the airport and checked in at the counter, were never told we needed to wait until 4 hours prior, maybe because we were in F. Gave us our BP and we were off to Hertz for a day rental to do some shopping.
