The flights they had given us were terrible. The flight down had us missing our first ADR and the flight back was real early. They didn't even have us sitting together on the return flight. Fortunately I was able to change these and we are now arriving earlier and leaving later than our original flights which is OK. They only bad part is we are flying out of Cincinnati at 9am. That is way early but it means we can now look at getting an ADR for lunch somewhere.

It all worked out thanks to the person I talked to at Delta (and I didn't even have to get angry about it). I just hope that the flights won't change again. We have never flown Delta before and have never had a flight changed with the other airlines we have flown before. It just makes us a little nervous now when we thought everything was ready to go for the trip.

Guess now I need to call Disney and let them now our flight info has changed for the DME. ]]> Getting There (and Back!): Your Journey Wolfhunt http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/209074-delta-changed-our-flights.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/209068-lanyard-pins-plane.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:18:05 GMT Will they let you wear your lanyards with pins on the plane?

This past September was my 1st experience with DME and I thought it took a little too long for us to get to our resort.

Long story short - There have been numerous screw ups with my West Jet reservation to MCO. I've had my flight changed TWICE by them now (although the last change gave me an extra day at Disney, but cost my another night at POP) and I'm just really paranoid about something screwing up on the day I fly. I am very much pro Air Canada and have flown 6 legs with them this summer alone with zero hiccups...Because of a good seat sale I ended up booking the flight TO orlando with West Jet and the flight BACK to Toronto with Air Canada. But now I see that I can book the Air Canada for the same price as the West Jet flight ( now I won't get a refund but I will have a credit that either me or fiancee can use in the future)

So when I read here on the PP board about Southwest's customers of size policy I fretted a little bit, but eventually pulled on my big-girl panties to call SWA and buy a a second seat.

The policy states you can buy the second seat at the same price as your first seat; I was expecting to pay $89, like I paid in July for my original ticket...

... But I had to pay $171 for the second seat, which is the lowest available price NOW.

What about paying the same fare for the second seat, as the policy states? That's only if you buy the two seats at the same time.

So the bottom line (pardon the pun) is that because I decided to pony up and do the right thing, I paid $171 for that extra seat, when the two tickets I purchased in July for myself and my son cost $178 combined!!

Yes, I realize I can apply for a refund if the flight is not overbooked, but we're travelling during the week between Christmas and New Years... No chance of that.

The other sad part of this story is that someone on stand-by is not going to Orlando that day because I had to buy this second ticket.... ]]> Getting There (and Back!): Your Journey lindadarrall http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/208407-southwest-customers-size-learn-my-experience.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/208360-dance-time.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:48:05 GMT I got mail from DME today!!! :D I got mail from DME today!!! :D ]]> Getting There (and Back!): Your Journey carolinwa http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/208360-dance-time.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/208324-any-idea-when-southwest-will-open-next-block-booking-dates.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:37:58 GMT ....Or, approximately when I can expect the end of August to open up??

How much time does it normally take from the airport to the hotel if you are using Quiksilver for your transportion. We won't be stopping for groceries.
We land at 4pm

We normally get an afternoon flight but the cost difference was so great we opted for this one. I'm thinking if we take DME we're probably going to be looking at a 7:30-ish pick up time, which got me thinking that maybe we spring for a private town car to buy us a little extra time in the morning.

Do you think an 8:15-8:30 a.m. pick-up time sounds reasonable (travelling from GF to MCO)? Also, any suggestions for good, reliable car services? We haven't used one since the pre-DME days and back then we used Mears (but it was a shared ride in a mini-van--do they have town cars though)?

Our tickets arrived yesterday :woot: BUT I was a little surprised not to find any yellow DME tags, or any other information about DME, except a single A4 sheet which basically said "take your airline luggage check in slips to the DME counter and Disney will do the rest".

This is significantly different to last year's procedure!

Has anyone used DME from the UK recently? How did it work for you? What process did you follow? And most importantly of all . . . did you get your bags? ]]> Getting There (and Back!): Your Journey Julian http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207855-dme-british-guests.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207842-car-rental-airport.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:00:13 GMT When you rent a car on site at the airport, how far is the car lot actually from the terminal? I've seen the rental counters but do not recall ever seeing any signs pointing to where the lots are. If you have alot of luggage do they let you take one of those carts with you to the car or could you go get the car and return to pick up your family and luggage. ]]> Getting There (and Back!): Your Journey jenjen1127 http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207842-car-rental-airport.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207833-crazy-airline-prices.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:52:01 GMT I'd really like to know why airline prices (at least for Continental) change every single day. I've already purchased our tickets for next August because one day the round trip flight was listed as $218 from Newark to Orlando but I still look everyday at the website. It jumps up to $234 then $228 then $258 then $228 then $278 and so on and so on. This is every day. It hasn't gone lower than the $218 I got the ticket for but I just don't understand how they can change the cost every day. Can fuel prices change this often for them? ]]> Getting There (and Back!): Your Journey jenjen1127 http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207833-crazy-airline-prices.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207787-taking-dme-resort-airport.html Thu, 29 Oct 2009 16:05:15 GMT Our flight home is at 5:10, so I'm wondering what time we have to catch the DME to the airport? Also, if we have time to do something before we have to catch the bus, what do we do with our luggage? Do you HAVE to catch DME from your resort, or what if we end up at Downtown or another resort for lunch or something like that. I'm guessing that might not be a good idea.

Anyway, the first thing is how early do you get the DME to go back to airport?

I've been thinking of shipping a large box ahead of time [beach towels, collapsible cooler, collapsible laundry basket, beach bag, pool toys, shampoo, conditioner, etc.]. Do hotels [we are staying at AKL] seem to be okay with this? With baggage fees on Delta Airlines, I think it would be a money saver. I'm not planning on bringing those items home, so I wouldn't have the worry of where to pack them on our way back. Thoughts?

On mine it says, "current payment(s)" and then today's date, the last 4 digits of our cc and the charge:confused:. It makes it look like there was a charge today. I expected it to say "previous payment(s)" then the date of original purchase and the charge.

I called SWA and the rep. couldn't really answer my question -- she just said "sometimes they come out like that":confused:. Hoping someone else can confirm that this is normal so I can stop worrying that another charge is going to hit my dh's cc:eek:;).

We got to use RAC since they were still testing it while we were there. Great! I was ecstatic!! I checked the bags with RAC at about 6:30 that morning. We left MCO at 6:30 that night. Got to Buffalo...no luggage...bunch of other people too. I talked with a woman there...stayed at Pop, checked her bags with RAC that morning, we took the same direct flight from MCO to BUF...she got all her bags. I heard one of the women who's bags were lost talking to the guy at SW...she came from another flight...so MCO was her connection. She only had like a 30 min layover. Said she saw her bags on a cart outside as we were taxing away for the gate. Apparently my bags were on that cart as well. I can see why hers didn't make the plane...but mine??? I checked them with RAC 12 hours before my flight???????

SW was great though...they arrived the next morning on a 10:55 flight. I live close to the airport so I picked them up...they gave me a $50 voucher. ]]> Getting There (and Back!): Your Journey SARH7 http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207536-our-luggage-did-not-make-onto-our-plane-i-am-clueless-why.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/getting-there-back-your-journey/207510-unmagical-wake-up-call-westjet.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:24:32 GMT So I woke up this morning with a friendly email from WestJet saying my flight has changed :mad: So im now not arriving till after supper!

However, I reserved a limo for our transportation to and from AKL. My question is this... do we go to baggage claim and take our luggage with us or do we let it arrive DME? If we go with DME, how long does it take for our luggage to arrive. We have never been to WDW so I'm not exactly sure how DME works.
