Tiffany Towncar...checking out early...

[Winka]

Have a 7:45 am flight out of MCO...how much time do they recommend allowing before a flight out (staying onsite)?

Also..does anyone know if there is an additonal fee for early AM pick-ups?

TIA!

No extra fee but a good suggestion is to talk directly with them about the sheduled pick up.

Thanks.

I hope 6 AM is early enough...I'm assuming, from what I've read on these boards, that the car service doesn't require a certain time allowance for flights...

The driver usually mentions the suggested pick up time when we are in route to the resort from the airport. It depends on the airline, time of day and the day of the week how much time they allow. In my experience they are very good with their estimates so I usually go with the recommendation of the driver.

We have always been picked up by TT 2 1/2 hrs. before our departure time! Maybe it would be a little less in your case since there might not be as much traffic early in the morning. But I wouldn't be surprised if they told you pick-up would be at 5:15-5:30!!!

At that hour, how many ungracious things can I mutter at my Mickey wake-up call recording?

Thanks.

Also be sure to confirm what time the airline's check-in counter opens. If you get there too early, you could end up waiting around for a bit.... but that's also better than being too late and rushing around

We used Mears when we went (not next time though!) and we had be ready to go at 4:30am for a 7:30am flight. Believe it or not the airport was BUSY at that time in the morning!! We were on Southwest and had to wait almost 30 min just to check in and our luggage wasn't security checked for at least another 30min! We didn't stay and watch the luggage but I wish we had because the security people did not resecure it. We used plastic ties (the locking kind) and even put extra ones where they could be put back on. Instead we had a note in our luggage saying it had been checked by security and resecured. It wasn't resecured!! We were blessed though that non of our items "walked" away
I would plan on being on the road before the roosters are even considering waking up.
