I would agree with you guys that MCO is only good for direct SJO and flights to DAV.

I prefer TPA for other destinations. I hate changing planes.The 25 years in west Fl it has

main departure airport. Also Spirit flights only good for MDE out of TPA. (Arrival times) Oops did I say a

bad word.

Jet Blue is great. Direct flight at about 3hours. Price is usually around $320-$380.
Specials as low as $250 rt all in. Not to mention I like MCO better. Wing man and I out on 13 Oct at $320. Keep the girls warm till then.



MCO may be a better airport, but its all the Disney "Pilgrims" who really piss me off. Last time I am in a hurry to get on an SW flight as I am flying on buisness and three doofus Disney vacationers are ahead of me in the bag drop line and deciding to rearrange luggage or take pictures or some other non sensical thing so that the line goes on with out them until it is painfully obvious by my repeated eye rolls. Their response "Don't worry, everyone will catch their plane" Yeah, right you and the loser you are married to and you loser sister are all on vacation, so what do you care?? Meanwhile, I am actually meeting my boss and will have hell to pay if I miss my flight, but they you obviously have control over the flight schedule and know we will all make our flights. Sorry, just wanted to share that rant with someone. :twisted: :twisted:



Actually, I think TPA is the best airport in the country - MCO is OK, but it was designed to be like TPA, but the original - to me - is still the best. Flying there since 1975 and I love the place - have family in St Pete, although living in Miami, we now mostly drive.

What, no clueless folks at TPA :lol: :P :lol: I hear you..... :) They are all over and (hopefully) oblivious to how annoying they really are :roll:


Yeah, forgot to mention the asshole TSA guy who was checking the legitimacy of my travel docs the other day when I flew to Vegas. I usually use my MIL ID as sometimes I get sent to a shorter line or at least a "Thank you for serving" type of response that the drones are programed to say, but not this Richard Head, I stroll up to him and say "Good morning, how are you today" and get a big nothing in response. Then I show him the military ID as most of these guys if they served are normally lower enlisted that just got out or retired military. The ID lists my rank and normally that will either garner a little respect from the retired guys or some envy; either way, it works for me. :wink:

and I agree that TPA is a pretty neat airport, far superior to others I have been through. :wink:
