What, 6:40 a.m. wasn't early enough?

[shatzjsl]

AA changed my flight time to 6:20 a.m. I know it is only 20 minutes but that early, 20 minutes sleep time means a lot!

I guess the silver lining is that we get to WDW 10 minutes earlier.

 

[inkkognito]

Another silver lining...at least they didn't "change" like ATA to non-existent!
Hopefully you'll be able to get a little shut-eye on the plane. We just had a 7 a.m. flight this week, and I think I was in a coma for almost the whole flight.

Very true about the ATA.

I will try to sleep but I have never been a travel sleeper. Can't sleep in a car very well at all. It is only a 2-hour flight so maybe I can catch a few zzzzzz's

We are taking same flight in May so may just stay up all night. One good thing is last month they changed the plane type from MD80 to 757 so there will be in flight entertainment atleast.

Looks like I am on that same flight a few days after you! If you don't mind me asking, have you ever taken a car service or shuttle to the airport. Hate to ask any of my friends to get up that early

I usually park at one of the lots. I have a coupon for The Parking Spot for $6 a day so it will cost around $50 total. I haven't found anything cheaper with car services. I plan on getting to the parking lot around 5 a.m. Not many lines that early in the morning.

Our carrier recently moved our flight from 7:30 to 6:15am! Now that is early. We will be at MCO by 10:20am and WDW by noon at the latest..... Heck, could make it a parks day if we weren't so dang tired!

I feel your pain, since I am NOT a morning person. We flew with ATA last month. Originally we booked an 8:45 AM flight. But ATA kept changing the time earlier and earlier and earlier, until we finally got stuck with a 5:20 AM departure.

 

[princessknb]

I'm hoping to get bumped up to an earlier flight on AA flight on 5/28/05. We were originally scheduled to leave DFW at 1:40pm but now it's been bumped up to 12:53pm. I hope they keep bumping us up!!!!

Oh my gosh! That is early!..realy early! We would still be asleep in our beds. ZZZZzzzz At 5:20 AM...we would miss that plane for sure!

I only live about 10 miles from DFW, so a cab wouldn't be that expensive. Just hate to start my vacation stressing about whether they will pick me up in time.. lol. I was just hoping you had past experience with a certain company .... Oh well, thanks anyway!

LOL..I'm scared to tell my DD that it it 20 minutes earlier. I can't imagine telling her it will be an hour and 20 min. earlier.

 

[curlyjbs]

wow! I've only heard of delayed flights! I never even knew they could "up" your flight? Never thought about it. Last time we flew we were in route to the airport when they called the house letting us know our flight was delayed . I hope they would give enough notice if they make the flight earlier???

We are leaving our house @ 3:45 am to drive to the airport. We have to meet dd and her family at the park and ride at the xway entrance to car pool to the airport park and ride which is about an hour drive. Soooo we'll be getting up about 3:00 am. I don't know how all this is going to work out since we are traveling with small children there going to be exhaulsted by noon.

Delta moved my 6 a.m. commuter flight several times. Now it leaves my hometown airport at 5:30 a.m.! Good thing the airport is only 10 minutes from my house, and you don't need to be there much more than 30-45 minutes before a flight.

 

[canwegosoon]

our 6:30 am flight was moved to 8:00 am...ok a little more sleep, but instead of arriving at 10:30 It's now 12:30....

You can always go out to the airport and standby for an earlier flight.
It doesn't cost you anything. I did this a couple of months ago with no problem.

 

[princessknb]

Nebsky,
I will definitely give it a try.

I dont know if you have plans yet or not. But we booked the DFW Hyatt, since we are on this early flight too. We booked the car n fly package, they use an off airport parking garage its covered. For 122 it includes the room and up to 7 days parking covered. Any other place to park covered its about $9 a day or $54.00 so the room is only costing us $68.00.

On Weekends the Hyatt is only $84.00. So you could have your freinds drop you off the night before if this works out to be cheaper. Or less of a pain. Its an idea atleast.

OMH!!! That's really a change and if you figure in how early you have to get to the airport!!! At least the plane is going to Disney.
