Hi guys, could anyone enlighten me on their views of Sanford Airport and travelling with My Travel. When we last flew into Orlando it was a nightmare getting the hire car with over an hours wait - this was from Orlando. Friends have told us it's much better at Sanford as only UK flights go in and out of it.
I know it's 1/2 hr drive but that's fine.

2nd question - what about the upgrading on My Travel to Premier Gold - worth £149 extra? or not?

Look forward to your views.

Cheers. Ju;)
 
Hi Ju

We flew into Sanford with Airtours when we went for the Millennium and found it to be a lot easier to pass through immigration and customs than at Orlando International. It was also easy picking up the car - we got that from Alamo - on site.

We never upgraded to Premier Gold on that holiday - it wasnt available - but we did upgrade to Premier Gold when we went to Cancun the following year and all I can say is it was worth every penny! We would certainly upgrade to PG again given the opportunity.

HTH

:D :D :D
 
hi ju,
can't help with car hire as we have had transfers, but i think the premiair gold is worth the money, much more leg room, bigger leather seats, more choice of films, we thought the upgrade was great, also you should get off first and get your luggage first, so then you should be across the road to the airtours desk before the crowds, so you should get your car sorted and be away quite quick. hope this helps :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:
 
Haven't used Premier Gold, we couldn't afford it for 5 of us. At check in DH did try to upgrade the 2 of us & leave the kids in economy, But for some reason they wouldn't allow it !!!!


Have flown into Sanford & really liked it . Picking up the car was so easy , just turn right out of the door & they were there. Returning it was even easier.

There isn't a lot of shopping at Sanford but we found it easy to keep track of the kids.

we have also used airtours at sanford, my only minor gripe was that we had to wait in an airtours queue to get a voucher for car hire, and then take it across the hall and wait in another queue to actually collect the car. I don't think it took an hour though.

Can't help with Premier Gold - but if I could afford it I would be tempted.

Hi Ju,

We've flown with airtours into Sanford a few times.

Sanford is much easier to pick up your car. We have always been sent the car hire voucher with the tickets so have just went straight out to get the car. It is directly across the road from the main airport building.

The only fault is that they dont allow any children in the building where you sort out your car, which proved difficult when there was just myself and dd. Luckily though it was quick and I was out within 5 mins and on our way.

Sorry I have never upgraded Prem Gold.

Here is Sanford Airports website, hope this helps:
