What's the URL? I wasn't aware that Baggage Airline Guest Services Inc. (BAGS Inc.) has a website.Lewisc said:Jet Blue is now listed as a participating airline on BAGS website. I'd suspect they'll be added to the list of carriers you can do resort checkin.

Thank you for posting the URL. My Google search was unsuccessful because I was looking for "BAGS Inc" or "Baggage Airline Guest Services" without finding the company's own site.Lewisc said:
I spoke with DVC Member Services today. The CM checked with a supervior to make sure that I got the correct information.pjpoohbear said:So lets see what happens in two weeks time, to see what a participating airline is, is it you can use ME or is it you can check- in check bags airline.
pjpoohbear said:BAGS does much more then ME , while JB does a lot of Business traveller business. Orlando is one of the most use Convention Centres in the US. That could be a reason to include JB in the BAGS business, good profit addition.
But this is a good thing as it makes it much smoother to add JB to the ME service when Disney can make an agreement with JB about participation.

I agree. In fact, the first DVC Member Services agent with whom I spoke was woefully misinformed. That's why I asked for a supervisor. (I wonder how many DVC members have received misinfomation about ME from that agent so far this year.)Lewisc said:Horace--Disney CM's haven't been very good at giving accurate information.
It's interesting that Continental wasn't part of the test, even though Continental was listed as a Resort Airline Check-in participant in the original ME press release. Of course, participation in a test (or lack thereof) is no guarantee of participation (or nonparticipation) when ME goes live.Lewisc said:Carol has already said United, AA and Delta are the airlines that are currently available in the resorts that are testing the resort check in.
Horace Horsecollar said:Here's the latest scoop:
- For inbound travel to WDW, you can use any airline, and still get Magical Express transportation and luggage transfers (without having to touch your bags at Orlando International).
- When departing from WDW you can use Magical Express with any airline, but Resort Airline Check-in is limited to specific airlines.
- Today only AA, Delta, and Song are officially part of Resort Airline Check-in.
- United, Ted, Northwest, Continental, JetBlue, and US Airways "will be coming on board."
