Anyone use Magic Express flying Air Canada?

[mom2nca]

Ok Im just wondering who has used magic express with Air Canada?

We are using Air Canada and ME and our departing flight is 8am. so what time was your flight home and what time was your ME pickup from your resort?

Just trying to see approx how early we will haveto get up!

Also was it hard to take your own luggage and check it in ? how far from where the buss drops you off to where you can check your bags?

and is there places to eat breackfast at the airport?

Thanks

If I remeber correctly ME picks you up for an international flight 4 hours prior to your flight time.
Depending on the resort that you're staying at depends on how far you need to lug your bags.. you need to bring them right to the bus. And yes, lots of places to eat at the airport!

MikeyNS is correct - current International pick up time with ME is 4 hours, or ever slightly more if your hotel is in the MK region.

In terms of taking your luggage from underneath the buses and checking in - it's really not far. Basically you walk into the terminal, find your airline for check in, and then once checked in - you walk over the baggage screening (they are setup every so often) and leave your bags with them. For WestJet and AirCanada, I remember in December the bag drop off zone was close by.

In terms of eating, you will have plenty of options before you clear security. After security, there is only BurgerKing and Cinnabon and a Starbucks. So, if you're looking for something more substancial, I'd look into places to eat BEFORE you go through security.

Have a great trip!!

I remember it being at least 4 hours, maybe longer from ASmu with ME(with Air Canada Vacations) and the excuse being that they had other bus stops....well the bus was 15 minutes late picking us up and there was only one stop at another resort so we sat in the airport forever, then flew to Montreal where we had a 6hour wait before flying to Halifax. Air Canada cancelled my direct 4 hour flight from YHZ to MCO with no deduction in price and no compensation..........I hate Air Canada. OK, enough griping........I do hope you fair out better.
