WONDERous adventures on the Panama Canal - 4/23/17

[aan1701]

Just as a reminder, anyone thinking about using SWA to MCO for this cruise the schedule opens tomorrow. Sorry I don't have a time or how far out we will go, so I don't know if you will be able to book your flight home.

According to the website, this release is only going to be for our flights to Orlando. If it is like the last release you can't book until 6 am eastern(or roughly that time). Hope that helps someone as I am waiting to see the prices tomorrow.

I've already set my alarm for 0545!

 

[aan1701]

Sorry about that guys, When I looked again last on our internal internet, all that was up was 8/4. So I will try and update you tomorrow if I can when yo can book you return flights.

 

[MickeyEarrings]

Indy to Orlando, nonstop, for $126! Gosh, I love Southwest!!

 

[aan1701]

Just got LAX to MCO for 136 a person. Can't beat that with 2 free checked bags a person.

Ok folks. I just looked. On 11/1 is when we open the schedule till 6/2. That's a long time to wait. I will check every so often to see if that changes.

Thank you! I'll put it in my calendar!

I am glad you guys found good airfare. Right now the cheapest I am seeing is $165 and that is not a good price(Spirit is $99). I guess I will wait and see if it goes on sale or pick another airline

I don't want to book them, I just thought it was funny that there was such a difference between them. I am waiting for Frontier to do their release and see how close they are to SW. Bad thing with SW as the airfare has to be a deal cause I hate the airport they fly out of. I'm picky I know

Interesting.

We've flown with Spirit lots of times and never had any trouble. Would not hesitate to book with them again.

About the only complaint I might have would be that sometimes their flight times are not convenient and that leads me to look at the other airlines with more reasonable times.

@runskyhy, you will be happy to know that I suck at DCL trivia!

Bummer! I'm not any good at it either, but it's fun to watch.

It's about the same cost for us from here. We've decided to drive down. At least I know I'll be able to fit all my exchange stuff in my luggage this way. Now I only have to worry about getting everything back from CA.

We thought there was even less leg room than usual on our Spirit flight. I am extra short and my feet barely touch the floor in a plane seat so it wasn't as bad for me but Rich volunteered to pay for the difference to another airline the next time we flew.

Any tequila fans here with specific brands they would recommend as souvenirs? Three Mexican ports and one is in the main state where tequila is produced... there isn't going to be a better opportunity than this and always looking for new brands to try.

Just curious, are there any adult only FE groups? the wifey and I dont have any children, so was thinking that a 21+ FE group would be cool (more adult oriented gifts )

If you go back to post one there is an email for the lady in charge of the FE. Just let her know you want to be in the adults only one.

This will be our 2nd Panama Canal Cruise. Already did the East Bound, so looking forward to the West Bound. Signed up for the FE exchange and would like to be included in the Palo Brunch Group. For the at sea days, anyone want to meet for some stitching - knit, crochet or any other craft work? Anne

I may be wrong but I think @QuiltTeddy (maybe the wrong person) may have arranged some quilting get together. I am not sure a Palo group has been organized so I will tag @wilma-bride and get her input.
