Really wish this onboard check-in list included Southwest Airlines

[poohfriend]

Available to Guests flying out of Orlando International Airport on domestic flights (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands) on AirTran Airways, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, United Airlines and US Airways.


Are you reading this Southwest? DCL? We would like to have a more relaxing trip home.

I know!!! We just returned from our latest cruise, and I must have said that 10 times at least. DH did mention it to Guest Services and the guy said that "they are working on it".

"Working on it" has been going on for years...literally.

I don't know what it will take, but frankly those times that we are on a participating airline we decide that the convenience is worth the cost of the DCL transfers. Non-participating, maybe not.

Does DCL use this baggage transfer program for other airports like in Vancouver over the summer?? I am hoping to use it when in Miami since I just booked my AA flights!

From your lips to DCL's mouse ears!!! Right now they don't offer the transfer program for any of the west coast cruises.

I wonder if Southwest chooses not to participate as another way of keeping their costs down?

As far as I know, they still don't have interline ticket or baggage agreements with other airlines, I'm guessing they'd have to pay DCL for this service as well. Just my guess.

it took years but finally just in the last two years Southwest was added to the WDW so maybe soon DCL will get it added.

i agree with a PP, it'd be the only value to DCL transfers for us. if i have to shlep my own bags i'm going to go with a cheaper alternative. but for them to magically arrive home... i would consider paying the DCL transfer money.

Before they added it at WDW, I never even blinked -- just part of taking Southwest. Now I am spoiled at WDW.

I could save a little bit by getting a rental car..but I'd still have the bag hassle. Would be willing to pay a fee onboard to check my bags.
