Cruise and Theme Park Operational Updates due to Coronavirus

[mi*vida*loca]

I booked our flight out of Philly on Jet Blue for March. We leave at 4:30 pm. I hope it doesn’t get changed. My son has college classes and that’s why we decided to leave later. If it gets moved earlier I’ll see if he can miss those classes if he’s not virtual. And if it gets changed to a layover I’ll definitely book a different flight altogether. We haven’t booked or return flights yet.

I’m hoping by March more people are traveling so they don’t have to cancel or change so many flights.

My Southwest flights haven’t changed yet for the beginning of November and I’m really hoping they don’t as they are the only nonstop flights those days. Anyone know how far out airlines have been making changes?

Our 11/30 and 12/5 Southwest flights were changed early last week. Nonstop flight down was pushed back, changing from a 5p arrival at MCO to a 9p arrival at MCO. Nonstop flight back was moved up, from a 4p MCO departure to a 2p MCO departure.

We changed our nonstop flight down to a morning flight with a 45 minute layover in Atlanta to avoid not getting to the hotel before 10p. All the other options had long layovers or multiple stops.

Dumb question how many people are having issues with their flights being rescheduled?

We've been flying southwest. Flight into MCO at the end of July was switched from a nonstop to one stop. Flight back in early Aug was delayed a few hours.
Just got notice a week ago that our early Nov flight to MCO is delayed a couple hours (cuts into our EPCOT day a little).

My southwest flights in November (10-12) were changed 10 days ago.

My upcoming SW flights changed about 4 times since booking. Last changes were at like 21 days out. Agent said be prepared and flexible because lots of changes could happen

Thank you! I will keep watching I’m 27 days out from flight to MCO and 34 days from flight home so may still have some changes. Fingers crossed!

My SW flights have changed, but I was not notified. I only found out because I logged in to find the details for my ME reservation. Not impressed.

Our southwest flight to MCO in July was changed a couple weeks ahead of time. Flight back was changed like the day before I think?
Flight into MCO on Nov 5 was changed about a week ago.

Everybody. It’s an issue across all airlines. I’ve had to reschedule my Nov flights on Delta at least 3 times now.

I think that's how DH found out our southwest flight home (early Aug) had changed, too.

I received a survey yesterday while on the WDW site when I was looking up information about photopass (wanting to call to see if masks are kept on if you do capture the moment session - which I still haven't had a chance to call about but have a feeling I know the answer) but anyways, one of the responses to a question about why purchasing photopass was something to the effect of being able to take photographs with masks off, which surprised me since they are not doing that. It also asked then when I would feel comfortable returning to water parks, hotels, theme parks etc.

We've done a capture the moment session since the reopening and yes, masks must be worn.

We booked for our baby (no mask, obviously) but I have been surprised to see lots of sessions going on each time we're at MK so maybe people are more willing to do it with masks than I would have thought?

Yeah I remember this summer people were getting cancelled on by Southwest day of. Hope that nonsense has died down. No reason for that.

You must've been lucky then. My early November flights did change prompting me to switch airlines altogether on the way home. My arrival flight only change by about 30 minutes so I was fine with that.

All this chatter about flights being changed is making me even more glad we will be driving for our next trip (even if that isn't until March)

I was about to post the same thing!

Chief Medical Officer? What does she do in non pandemic times?

She’s been around for a while apparently. Here’s a link to an award from back in 2011 but this is an entire area of industry where doctors meet business to pursue Health in the workplace and various aspects of it. Many companies have this. Of note she is indeed a fully trained MD.

Oh no! Yes hopefully these flights stick for you now. How many days out did they change your nonstop southwest flight?

Southwest changed my itinerary more than 9 weeks in advance of scheduled departure. American called me last week to advise me of my flight change, so basically a 21-day notification but it wasn’t a big deal to leave an hour later than planned.

My late October flights were changed about 6 weeks ago, late December flight changed last week. I hope you're in the clear. Make sure you log into your account though just to make sure you still have the flights you think you do (see below)

My SW flights have changed, but I was not notified. I only found out because I logged in to find the details for my ME reservation. Not impressed.

The email SW send sometimes gets filtered to junk. The subject line should read "changes to your upcoming Southwest trip". I've missed a few of them that way. Good thing is that Southwest will let you change to most other flights for free if they changed the flight!

I am flying Sun Country (for the first time) and I am super paranoid something will happen to my flights. There is only one flight per day from my airport to Orlando and they don't even fly daily there.

 

[TISHLOVESDISNEY]

My Frontier nonstop flight Dec 10th from MCO-DSM changed to an over night layover in Denver.
Got a refund for that flight.
Then my DSM-MCO Delta flight on Dec 5th changed to a 4or5 hr layover, got that flight changed thru Delta.
that's it
