SW schedule change from PHL

[MickeyCrazed]

Did anyone else notice that Southwest seemed to change their outbound flight schedule (on weekends) from PHL to MCO?
It appears that the first non-stop flights to MCO are now after 10:30 in the morning.
I know I am a commando about getting my WDW vacations started, but am I the only one that feels that this time is way too late in the morning?
We wouldn't land until after 1 p.m. (and that is assuming that the flight leaves on time)!
SW is getting a big thumbs down from me right now!

When are your dates? We're flying SW on Monday and our flight leaves at 7:10am out of PHL.

We're also going in Septmber and the 7:10am flight was also available then. Can you call SW and inquire about the changes?

We've never had an early flight time out of Indy. Your 10:30am departure is exactly the time we have left on our past 3 trips. We don't plan any parks on the day we arrive, so it is never a big deal for us.

Wow, I checked and you're right. Starting November 4th the first nonstop is at 10:30. We flew down in June at 7 am and because we had a great ME connection we were at SSR by 9:45!!! I also like to take the earliest flight out. Looks like I might have to look elsewhere for our trip in March if they don't bring earlier flights back.

Those midmorning flights work great for us......we have a 2 hour drive from NE PA to PHL, so I don't like to schedule anything earlier than 10:30 anyway.
Our flight in October is 11:55 a.m.........arriving about 2:30 p.m. This trip it's 4 adults so we'll only have a couple checked bags and then to National Emerald Aisle. I figure we'll be out of MCO by 3:15 p.m. at the latest and getting to SSR for checkin before 4:00 (checkin time anyway). We'll have enough time to freshen up and it's off to F & W Festival at Epcot for the evening!!!!

I see what you mean...that early flight that was a one way flight now has one stop...I also noticed that the late flight coming back from Orlando has been eliminated completely it use to be at 8:30pm now the latest flight out is 5:25.
It looks as thought the flights during the week have not changed too much.
