Disney's Magical Express/RAC - What "Participating Airline" Really Means! - Page 9 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Jams421 · 05-10-2006, 10:05 AM

I have a silly question. I am leaving in August and after I booked my flights I called to add my DME flight info(as well as request free dining

) . We received the new travel papers (the ones with your Itineraries) but it says Flight Unknown 433 and Flight Unknown 430 and that the time was unknown for our DME ressies. I checked our reservation online and it says the same. I know the CM took our flight info as she asked me to spell out the Airline (jetblue) and confirmed our flight times 3 times. Will I have issues with DME? Should I call and make sure they have all the flight info?

Funny you should ask this.....As I have the same question, except my flight is with Southwest! Hopefully someone here has an answer!

Don't worry about it. You're FINE.

On the off chance that there's an issue on the return flight, they'll correct it when you check into the welcome center.

thanks!! That's what I hoped

I emailed bags, inc. last week, they are the company that handles the airport check-in and they confirmed that US was in the plans to be added to hotel airline check in along with Airtran and Southwest. No timetable was given though!

I wish Southwest would become a participating airline, SOON!

Crossing my fingers for AirTran to join in time for our trip. We have TTC booked rt to and from MCO, but would definitely like to take advantage of the check-in.

As of Friday, this is not the case. They may be coming soon, but there is no ETA on that.

I read this on DISnews. Is this something different than ME?

US Air joins BAGS service
Posted on June 01, 2006
Orlando Sentinel - Disney and cruise vacationers traveling on US Airways will soon have one less travel headache: transporting their luggage. US Air is the 11th airline to join Baggage Airline Guest Services Inc. to partner with Walt Disney World, cruise lines and other hotels to provide baggage transport and remote airline check-in services.

The business allows passengers to skip baggage claim at the airport when they arrive in Orlando. When they arrive at participating hotels or cruise lines their luggage will be delivered to their rooms. The service also allows departing passengers to print their airline boarding pass from their hotel lobby.

BAGS is the 3rd party that handles the Resort Airline Checkin (RAC) desk. They also do RAC desks at non-Disney hotels. Northwest was part of BAGS long before it became part of the Disney RAC desk.

It's very well possible that US Airways will be joining Disney's RAC soon. However, as of today, they are not currently participating.
