    Christmas dinner: Turkey, potatoes, gravy, carrots, Brussels sprouts, bacon wrapped smokies cheese and crackers, red velvet cake
    Terri S.

    Virgin Atlantic at Orlando airport is top notch! The staff and check in employees were overly friendly and helpful....especially for being Christmas day. Not only did they get us checked in....they made sure that we were taken care of until the end of trip. First time flying VA....but it will not be my last!

    I flew from Orlando, Florida to Las Vegas, Nevada (with a stop in Denver, Colorado)…read more No real issues on my flight. The woman making the announcements was very chipper for a flight that boarded before six in the morning. In fact, part of her opening speech, she was almost singing it. This was actually pleasant.

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.

I may fly Spirit a few times per year because they offer direct flights to some of my regular destinations at competitive price points.

I have received polite customer assistance at both the kiosk and the luggage drop-off. Astonishingly, most of my flights have had on-time departures and arrivals. A few times, I've even experienced early arrivals.

Jet Blue took care of all our transportation with the exception of airport parking. Checking bags at MCO in terminal C was amazing. I was actually dreading check in and security but going through Jet Blue and Terminal C made everything seamless and easy. We were both able to earn points for future trips by downloading the Jet Blue app. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, the planes were in excellent working order, clean, and staff were overall efficient. We received one free alcohol beverage both ways, free Wi-Fi, and Movies for our flights. The only hiccup we had with the transportation for our return trip home. The driver was on time but he took us 40 minutes in the opposite direction to pick up other customers then drove right by where he picked us up from again to go to the next two stops heading toward the airport. The pickup/drop-off route could have been planned out more efficiently. We were crammed in a little van for 2 hours for a trip that only takes 45 minutes to an hour. Other than that, everything else was great. We would definitely use Jet Blue Vacations again, it's a major bummer to hear that they are approximately $9.4 Billion in debt, and could be closing up; hopefully things turn around for the better. Regardless, we are thankful everything worked out as planned with our trip and think they did an exceptional job overall.

We arrived SUPER early to the airport, got on the plane just fine and then the DELAY... 50 min waiting on the plane it was because the computer went out(pretty important). It wasn't pleasant but we got to our destination. On the way home.... ANOTHER delay!!! This time because of storm clouds... the pilot said it's better to wait than fly through them. We waited on the plane again. The staff was friendly, the bathrooms clean, the snacks good the seats ok. I'm always looking for the best deals. But over the past two yrs on other airlines mentioned above, NO delays! On our way home we had to check our bag at the gate because it was a full plane well they LOST our bag! We waited at the carousel, asked the info desk he sent us to the jet blue counter where the man said oh yes three more bags are coming out. So we walked all the way back to the carousel and waited... nothing... my husband went back and talked to the guy who looked it up and insisted it was on the way out. Now 45 min after.. finally they admitted to it being misplaced. They eventually found it. JetBlue is located in thermal C at MCO it's new and beautiful but there isn't a Dunkin.

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. It's still a great service though, and I plan to use it again next time. There's really no reason to spend extra on transportation when this is included with your stay.

It's great if you don't need to rent a car as you can use this bus service from and back to the airport. I highly recommend it.

Charging ports on the bus along with TV's showcasing Disney info and trivia. They have this down to a science. Be sure to tag your bags correctly, and they will get them for you, and they magically show up at your hotel. 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.

We were already an hour late to depart, which felt ambitious given the state of the plane. You'd think that extra hour might go toward, I don't know, basic cleaning? Instead, the crew seemed far more focused on policing personal items and charging people for carry-ons than addressing the crushed Cheetos graveyard we were all expected to sit in. I'm fairly certain a 6-year-old was in the cockpit, because that would at least explain the chaos. The flight attendants? Deeply committed to complaining as a full-time performance art. One of them moved through the aisle like a skipping adult child, while the other seemed far more invested in her beaded headpiece than, say, safety or sanitation. Boarded the plane and immediately thought I'd walked into a crime scene sponsored by stale snacks. I've seen cleaner floors at Waffle House at 2am. Long story short: if this is your budget, just walk. Or drive. Or hitchhike. Anything with a seatbelt and dignity would be an upgrade.

So, Allegiant really isn't that different any more except it is still much cheaper if you are traveling between the towns they serve. My flight out of Appleton to Sanford Orlando and my flight back were both packed, on time, with my luggage arriving on the baggage claim carousel shortly after I arrived. So, that's better than my last couple of flights on Delta and United. It was a short flight so I paid for no upgrades, I was boarded last, punished with a center seat, and had to buy clothes at my destination as well as do laundry in the hotel but traveling between small airports and saving hundreds of dollars, it was worth it. They are very strict about luggage, you just get one personal and it has to fit in the smallest space I've ever seen in front of my seat, though they don't count CPAP and other necessary medical equipment so I guess I had two little carryons. You can only put a bag in overhead if you pay for it, but if you pay for checked luggage ahead of time online (use their app), it's not any more than Delta or United and less than Spirit. Like Spirit, there will be sick contagious passengers and crying babies all around you. Bring hearing protection, reading material, snacks and an empty water bottle to fill past security as they charge a lot for drinks and snacks in flight.

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!
