What airlines participate in ME?

[Skeebs514]

Hi All-
We are flying Delta (Song) out of Bradley in Hartford in July. Anyone know if Delta/Song are participating airlines? Also, I know this has been asked a million times I am sure, but is it easier to claim your luggage as usual and have it ride with you via Mears to the resort? Anyone know how long it takes to get from MCO to Coronado Springs?
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Yes, Song is a 'participating' airline. But, this is only important on the return trip. Participating airlines allow you to get your boarding passes at your resort and then your bags are whisked away, right then. You hop on the bus when it's your time to leave your resort for the return to MCO. You get to the airport and go directly to security. Not sure how long it will take to get from MCO to Coronado Springs though...

Was going to ask this same question, Does anybody know if Northwest decided to become a participating airline?

McKelly,
I am trying to get the same answer about Northwest!! I just emailed WDW, hopefully, I will get a response. I was told earlier (March) that Northwest was "slated to be operational by 5/5" but so far, it's not. I will post if WDW responds.

I was told last week by a WDW CM that Northwest is on the list now.

Keep in mind that the ONLY difference in participating and non-participating airlines is the ability to get boarding passes at your resort and have your luggage taken directly to the airport. If you are flying on a non-part. airline, you have to take your luggage with you on the ME bus back to the airport...just the same as always. You go thru checking of bags just the same as always. You can fly into MCO on any airline and still use those luggage tags and get the transportation to your resort.
