Associated Airlines

[mrsdanalind]

Does any one know off hand which airlines are associated with DME? Last year we flew an airline that wasn't associated with DME and almost didn't get to use the service, because we didn't get the tags for our luggage?:shrug:
Do not want to make that mistake next year when we have the entire clan. Thanks:wave:

Regardless of what airline you fly you are entitled to transportation to the resort, and Disney delivering your bags as well. You not receiving your tags for a previous trip had nothing to do with the airline you were taking, it was some other sort of error that led to that. The participating airlines only matter for your flight back home. If you fly one of the participating airlines you can check in for your flight and check your bags at the resort. If you are not on one of the participating airlines, you can still take the bus but you will have to check in when you get to the airport. So, long story short...airline makes no difference for arrival, and only matters for checking in at the resort.

Participants that allow you to check in at the resort for your departing flight:

-- AirTran Airways
-- Alaska Airlines
-- American Airlines
-- Continental Airlines
-- Delta Air Lines
-- JetBlue Airways
-- Northwest Airlines
-- Southwest Airlines
-- United Air Lines
-- US Airways

DME has nothing to do with what airline you fly. If you land at MCO you can use the service so long as you've booked it in advance. If you booked and didn't get tags, that can be either they didn't have time to send them because you booked late or you live outside North America.

If you've booked, you can put the tags on your bags before leaving home or if you don't get them you can just go to DME check-in and describe your bags [I recommend taking a quick photo of each bag and printing them off], show them your claim stubs from your airline and they'll retrieve your bags and deliver them to your resort. The day before you leave you'll receive a note from them telling you when to be there for the departure bus. If you are not using Resort Airline Check-in, then then take your bags with you to the bus.

Resort Airline Check-in is an entirely separate service provided at your resort. If you're flying domestically on one of the participating airlines, you're eligible to use the service

If you're eligible for Resort Airline Check-in, you can check your bags with them and get your boarding passes at the resort. Then you can either take DME or make your own way to the airport.
