With the holidays kicking into full gear, that means the holiday crowds are, too!
We’ve been keeping an eye on the crowds throughout the Disney parks, but there is another place that we like to check in on every once in a while to see what the crowds are like — and that is the Orlando International Airport (MCO). If you’ve ever flown to Disney World, you’ve probably visited this airport and maybe even heard about the nightmare it can be when it comes to crowds (we’re looking at you, TSA line). [Read more…]
Flying during the holidays can be stressful.
It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your flight status and get to the airport early so you’re prepared for crowds and delays. With so many people traveling this time of year, small hiccups aren’t uncommon, but what happens when a major airline has a massive number of flight cancelations and delays? If you tried to fly with Southwest Airlines during the 2022 holiday season, you might have been affected by the company’s service meltdown. Now, the company has been saddled with a record-breaking fine for how it handled the disruptions.
If you were at the airport this weekend and thought it seemed extra busy, you were definitely correct. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) just confirmed that yesterday, November 26th, saw RECORD-BREAKING crowds for air travel.
The huge crowds of travelers trying to get home after the holiday may have encountered some issues as thousands of delays and cancelations affected U.S. airports. [Read more…]
Whether you’re ready or not, the holiday season is VERY quickly approaching.
This means that many of you will be traveling soon, and may or may not be in the throes of booking those last-minute flights. While this situation has been nightmare fuel in years past, this year’s holiday flight booking situation is looking better than expected. Plus, you might even save some money. Let’s talk about it!
Going to Disney World on holidays and holiday weekends can be a lot of fun.
Sure, it’s great to be in Magic Kingdom on Halloween, especially if you have tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The holiday season is also extra magical. But even long weekends like Labor Day weekend could be fun, too, although it could also be busy. However, if you ARE going to Disney World over Labor Day weekend, here’s what you should NOT do.
Ahh Spring Break, the time when hoards of travelers flood Florida looking to get a little sun and relaxation!
During the months of March and April, Disney World and other Orlando theme parks tend to get pretty packed with all the out-of-town guests. And since the theme parks are crowded, you can expect the airport to be crowded as well!
Southwest Airlines has been in the news a lot recently.
This week we saw staggering numbers of Southwest flight cancellations, and the airlines canceled upwards of 60-70% of their flights. The CEO has shared a statement regarding these cancellations.
Have you heard about the Southwest Airlines fiasco of 2022?
Chances are you know about it if you’ve been on social media or have been watching the news. Southwest Airlines is canceling and delaying flights and we recently learned that flights will continue being canceled all the way through December 31st. Today, December 28th, the cancelations continue and other airlines are working to help stranded travelers.
Let’s be honest — holiday traveling is not for the faint of heart!
With crowds at the airports, heavy traffic on the roads, and unpredictable weather conditions, there are a lot of things to consider before packing up and heading out this time of year. For some people, traveling is the only way that they can see their families during the holidays, and that holly jolly vacation may have just turned into a transportation nightmare.
