    Nice snack from Mike (Philadelphia crew) that made the flight

    Today was a great example as to why I love American Air. We arrived at Orlando airport and received a notice that my flight from Daytona was changed. That is when I realized we drove to the wrong airport. Luckily the attendant sent us to special services where Carolyn Luciano greeted us with a smile. After explain our mistake she got to work on the computer and changed all our flights to and from Boston for a Mother's Day trip. We had new tickets and on our way in a short time. Great flight and actually got in to Boston sooner than my original booking would have done. Thank you SOOOOOO much Carolyn Luciano.

    It's air travel. What can you say? Our flight was on time. We quickly printed our boarding passes and checked out luggage. TSA was quick. The whole process took 20 minutes start to finish, but timing is always a factor.

    Aggravating American Airlines Strikes Again! So this time - on the trip home - we decided to check one bag because we had purchased some liquids that we didn't want to get rid of or ship home. So we paid online (ahead of arriving at the airport) for a checked bag. We got a $5 discount for paying ahead online. Yay! Almost yay! Because when we got to the airport and went to check our bag - we were asked if we'd like to check the others (for free) due to limited bag space. So the dilemma is, I suppose, solved by bringing bags that comply with TSA and either bring them through TSA and be forced to bag check (for free) at the gate; or possibly bag check for free when checking in at the counter (again - prepared with only TSA compliant bags, given that we may need to pass TSA with luggage if free bag check is not offered at the counter. The idea of having to pay for bags at all was already aggravating - yet with the way American is forcing bags on for free or sometimes offering free at the counter - is aggravating. Get a freaking policy and stick with it. Either charge us or don't. Quit causing some to pay for checked bags when you're throwing around so much free bags (forced or "spot" offered). It's aggravating! First world problems - I admit. Aggravating just the same in the first world.

I will say I have yet to fly Spirit. I first flew Frontier over 10 years ago since they had a Direct Flight from Orlando to San Diego. I got "the works" package or whatever they call it and it was wonderful. More recently, I was going to Charlotte and American was absolutely ridiculous at $800 round trip. Frontier had it for $182 with a "good" seat that I chose when booking the flight. Being somewhat unfamiliar with the process, and having priority boarding, I asked the 3 ladies at the counter, after standing there for a few minutes while they just BS'ed with each other how boarding works. They said they'd call for the priority boarding. Well, after listening and waiting and going through pre-boards and military and all of the other more deserving people getting on the plane, they never said the word "Priority", I guess they call it something different that's 'on the boarding pass which makes it confusing. As far as prices and getting there, it's a pretty good option even if you have a carry-on and are checking a bag. The drink and food options on the plane were a bit pricey so I'd say load up at the Airport first. You get what you pay for for sure. But they got me there on-time which is half the battle. But the gate staff was 1-star for being so unhelpful. I'd fly them again if I had to, but never again by choice.

If you have your Magic Band ready when you get off the plane, it's incredibly easy, and you just walk up and scan your Magic Band and they tell you what line to stand in. Line 10 is AKL for both villages and Coronado. A personal gripe of mine; I don't think Deluxe resorts should have to share busses. Before this trip, we'd always stayed at Polynesian and Grand Floridian. They are both Deluxe resorts, and they share with Contemporary, and all of those resorts are right next to each other, so it didn't really bother me. But this time we were at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and we stopped at Art of Animation and Pop Century before getting to AKL. I just think the Deluxe resorts are so much more expensive that they could get their own busses. In any case, I landed at the airport at 3:45, was on a bus by 4:15, and on resort at 5:07. I don't think it's worth the cost of an Uber to get there like a half hour faster, but that's up to you. One thing that's great about Disney is that you don't need to worry about transportation at all once you get there, and I really appreciate that. And if you check bags, you don't even need to get those, and they'll deliver them right to your room. I had a very early flight home though, and they picked me up excessively early. I got picked up at 5:30am for an 8:30am flight. I didn't have luggage, but if I did I could have checked it at the resort, so no one needs to be at the airport that early. I sat around for a good 2 hours before my flight. That might have been worth taking an Uber just so I could sleep another hour.

The buses run on specific schedules and based on the time of your flight be prepared to leave a bit earlier to the airport. I read this service will end in 2022. Sad, as it's a terrific perk.

Booking everything online with Delta was super easy and our information was transferred to Virgin Atlantic including our points. All we had to do from that point forward was download the Virgin Atlantic app on to our phones to get updated flight information. The only thing that didn't get transferred was his KTN. Navigating their website and app was a bit confusing so the day we flew out, we had to update his KTN with the check-in agent. If you're a government employee, this can be a hassle and set back if you do have precheck. The check-in agent has to manually enter the KTN for you. This was a minor setback that we had for my hubby. But no big deal.. we got to the airport 3 hours prior and got everything squared away in time. Now to the flight... the flight was smooth, no turbulence whatsoever. What was suppose to be an 8 hour flight turned into 7 hours so we ended up getting to London an hour earlier. It was a full flight, probably about 200 passengers on board. The flight attendants were amazing. We were served food and drinks every hour. They provided head phones, blankets and pillows. I couldn't sleep on the plane because I was so excited to be on vacation so I watched 4 movies. Would I fly with Virgin Atlantic again? Absolutely!

    I've flown Southwest Airlines quite a bit over the years, and since moving to Orlando--especially…read morewith trips to Pittsburgh--it's easily become my go-to airline. Overall, Southwest has been super reliable for me. Sure, there are occasional delays, but they've mostly been weather-related. On a recent MCO to PIT flight, we had about an hour delay due to weather, but they made up time in the air and it only ended up being about a 30-minute delay. Plus, the flight wasn't full, which made for a really comfortable ride. One thing I actually like is their boarding process. It's almost like a virtual queue--check in early, get a better boarding position, and you've got a solid shot at a good seat. Wait too long, and you're probably heading toward the back. Flying solo, it doesn't matter much to me, but with family, that early check-in strategy definitely comes into play. Their rewards program is solid, the staff is consistently friendly and communicative, and they just get you where you need to go without the headaches. Not much to complain about here--Southwest has earned its spot as my preferred airline in the sky. Wheels up!

    No issues flying Southwest from the Orlando airport. There are several flight destinations so…read morethere's more than one desk. Pay attention to signage that lists the cities managed by the counter. We easily printed off boarding passes and luggage tags. The line took time to check in our bags so beware and allow buffer time. Employees were friendly and made sure we had what was needed for a smooth check in with security. The gates had plenty of seating and when our flight was ready, the agents called the boarding groups quickly. We also took advantage of checking in our carry ons for free.
