We flew out of MCO yesterday. Our departure was originally 330pm. Returned rental to Dollar at 1pm. Walked to SW counter and printed boarding passes and luggage tags . Had bags weighed and went to security. It was crazy!!!
On Sunday when we left to go at IND from the time we got out of car to gate was 15 minutes.
They tell people to have ID and boarding pass available so the TSA agent can check. Of course many people don't do this starts slow down. Lines in Disney queues. Once agent checked we waited in line to go through screening. Once again they announce over and over the procedure of what you need to do. Of course about half the people don't listen. It took almost 30 minutes to get through line. Understanding many are people who don't travel often BUT if you listen to how to do things it would help.
From dropping off car to gate at 1pm on Friday it was almost 50 minutes.
Sitting at gate we saw SW board a flight to Philadelphia. The preboards went and I believe I counted 8. Then the As went. Next was family boarding where they announce 6 and UNDER with 2 parents. There were 22 lined up in this line! A few were definitely well over 6 but they got on. So many people with 2-3 carryons too.
On our flight to IND we were A group so I didn't see family boarding. Did see the SW miracles of needing the preboard BUT leaping up and being first off plane.
Advice plan on plenty of time through security! If on SW do EBCI because lots of families.
