    To Rent a Car or Not?

    Just my opinion ... I think in this environment, a rental car is a far safer and convenient option than using Disney transportation and car services. Limiting contact should be a priority. You are also doing a lot of transferring between properties and this is usually easier with a car...

    Unavailable?

    The airlines are also instituting seating capacity limits to better promote social distancing and leaving empty seats on flights. It is possible that your flight is at that capacity percentage and therefore there are no more available tickets. Southwest has been flying their non-stops to...

    Using Costco membership to book 2 car rentals

    According to Costco rules the primary needs a Costco card. In practice neither my husband or I have EVER been asked for one. Once per month rentals, so we’re really testing their practices!! We check in at the desks,

    For those who RECENTLY rented from Alamo @ MCO....

    Rented from the full size aisle in Orlando (A side to be specific) mid-January. Only sedans - not even the ubiquitous pickup trucks that often show up in that aisle. Rented mid-November - only sedans and a very empty-looking aisle.

    Using Costco membership to book 2 car rentals

    I rent cars at least once per month using my Costco membership in various airports - primarily Palm Beach and Orlando. The free additional driver can be anyone. They are not limited to a spouse or household member. They just need to be present and have a valid license. They do not need a...

    Tell me about Frontier Airlines

    It has been my experience that if a plane is very empty, if asked nicely the flight attendants may let you move (I did this one time when I first started flying them). However, they will not let you move to 'another section'. Sections are usually bordered by the exit rows. I once had the...

    Tell me about Frontier Airlines

    Frontier elite member here. Actually doing a mileage run tomorrow to Orlando for the day to keep my status for next year. Landing in the morning, driving to Disney to spend the time before my return flight in the evening. The flight was $28 RT. I have been flying Frontier about once per...

    Frontier personal item question

    I fly Frontier about once per month for the past 2 years. In and out of lots of airports, but primarily flying from NY to PBI and MCO. I used to fly with an under seat roller bag all of the time. I searched around until I found one that was almost exactly within their measurements - I think...

    Costco second driver question

    I rent a lot of cars through Costco in Florida - Alamo - the additional driver must be present and show a driver's license. You can do this at any point during the rental at an Alamo counter (we do it all the time) and they can drive the vehicle from that point forward. Avis in Florida...

    Flying out of Indy.... next parking?

    My daughter uses this all of the time - she has never had a problem. So much so, that she joined the rewards program. Flies all times of the day, and all seasons.

    Smooth TSA experience

    Not for tomorrow, but for next time - since I see belts being mentioned a lot. My husband purchased an inexpensive belt from Amazon that is TSA compliant that he uses for flying days- no metal (it is an old-school military style web belt with the sliding buckle being made out of plastic). We...

    Stopping to add rental car license plate to E-Pass account

    We have found that cell phone data service is horrible in the parking garages and surrounding areas. We just make a phone call and add the plate - it takes just a few minutes and voice service works well in the garage structures. It saves time and frustration.

    30 Minute Connection in MSP?

    I would call Delta to change your itinerary since that change puts you in a layover period that is not desirable and probably meets the requirements for a free flight change. MSP is a beautiful airport, but it is large. Delta uses almost all of the gate corridors in Terminal 1. I would assume...

    Realistic time to arrive at MCO????

    MCO is an anomaly in and of itself - it doesn't operate the way other airports do. There is a lot of business travel with it being a big convention destination, etc. But, there is also a high percentage of inexperienced family travelers that can throw check-in desks, security, car rentals, etc...

    When do you sign up for ME?

    There's no rush - I've done it just a couple of days before our arrival - we have been known to hem and haw about renting a car
