Air Tran changed my flight

[lionpryd]

I already have my tags. Do I need to contact Deisney so I don't have problems with DME?

Also, we arrive at MCO at 6:16 now, instead of 5:05. We have an 8:15 ressie at WCC. Will we be able to make that?

Thanks,
Dawn

No you don't have to call Disney Unless your departing flight was also changed. The tags are tied to the resort not the flight. As for your Dining reservation that is going to be tight if not impossible to make unless you are staying at WL.

Sorry, Yep, we are staying at WL. Do you think it's still doable?

If your flight gets in on time, I think its doable. In May, it took us 1-1/2 hours to get to WL from the time we landed. We didn't wait to get on DME, but we waited about 15-20 minutes for the bus to leave.

if there is another flight schedule you like, you can call Airtran to change it though

You can also shop other airlines (go to kayak.com) and cancel your flight if you have not already accepted the change. This happened to us several times on last year's trip and we found a cheaper flight with better times on SW.

Would there be a charge for that?

Given that your flight was changed by only 70 minutes, there may be. The waiving of fees is for "significant" changes, generally meaning changes of at least 2 hours. It doesn't hurt to ask though.

Given the situation I think you have an argument that it is a significant change. It will impact dinner reservations. Now if it changed to an earlier time, you wouldn't have an argument, but since it moved later you may.

I have always recheduled regardless whether it was moved earlier or later.
Never a charge with the exception for one time, they moved my flight for 3minutes and I wanted to move to an earlier flight, they said it should be a charge. I thanked her and hung up without accepting the change. A week later, the same flight was moved again, and this time was to leave 17 minutes ealier. I called and was able to reschedule to a better flight schedule.
Search this board, I don't think anyone has reported charges for flight rescheduled due to the change by Airtran.

It never hurts to call to see if you can get an earlier flight,
