Have a safe trip.
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!
We avoid the delays at airports, can bring much more stuff with us if we want, have loads of legroom while traveling, and have our own car with us down there to drive to many of the parks and the Orlando Ale House!!
Slightly Goofy
Your airport comments are right on target! Legroom! Room for gifts! And so much more. But the flyers can get there in a handful of hours. It's a tradeoff that all must consider.
We were down in October with my parents. We drove and they flew. We left at 5 am and got home before them. They faced all sorts of delays with the plane and didn't get home until 2am the next day. So sometimes it does pay off.
Details, please! When was their initial departure time?
This is an amazing story but, perhaps, not considering the reputaion of the three NY/NJ area airports.
They were flying home from MCO to Newark. They were scheduled to leave a little after 5 pm. The plane had "technical difficulties" and was delayed for two hours. After waiting around they were told at 7:30 it was going to be another hour or so. At 9:30 they were told the plane wouldn't be leaving that night and they would be put up in a hotel. They start handing out the vouchers for transportation, food, and the tickets for the next day. During the process, they are told a plane will be available that night, but not until 11:30. They take the 11:30 flight and get into Newark at 1:30. My brother was supposed to pick them up, but due to the time they landed they took a taxi. So they got home around 2 am.
We left at 5 am and were home by 9:30 pm.
Plus with the deals Spirit has, I will do whatever it takes to fly out of AC and avoid the hassle of Newark.
AC airport is a dream. The parking is within walking distance and $6 a day. We were through security in less than ten minutes. Traveling with three kids (6/5/4) and a stroller, this is unheard of. Did I mention not having to go to Newark. We will be flying out of AC in April We got an awesome rate of $94 round trip for our family of five.

Interestingly enough, where we live, it's a one hour difference in time to drive to Disneyland or Disneyworld. It's 31 hours to Disneyworld and 32 hours to Disneyland. Starting our trip on March 27th to the World!
Wow, what an awesome deal on the flight. So how did you get such a good price, I keep checking and the cheapest I can get is 200.00 round trip. Are you a member of the $9 fare club?
Fill me in on your secrets!!!!
An "awesome rate" to be sure!
And not going to Newark is more than just a plus!
Let the countdown begin!
Merry Christmas to all!
