DME/RAC exclusive to Southwest? One can dream, right?

Obviously not happening

That would be such a win. It would also put JetBlue out of business in Providence, Hartford, and Manchester.

I don't intend to be snarky, but why would anyone care? Is there some benefit or impact on guests?

 

[Stupido]

Disney has some nerve partnering with any airline after dumping DME.

And based on their resentment of mid-tier name brand products and services, they'll be very upset that United Polaris Business Class isn't the official airline of Walt Disney World.

Will it mean a REASONABLE RATE for flying a family of 4 to Florida or Cali. NO CHANCE!, so just 2 companies doing a cross promotion of each other big deal.

What if it were Southwest Dream Flight (akin to the previous Delta version)?

You can wake me, but not too early. Those crazy Southwest people with their 6 am flights that force me to wake up at 2 am…ahhhhh!

Perhaps Lightning Lane will be renamed Early Bird and you can check in for one ride 24 hours out for $25? Yippee!

But will they let one person pay for Lightning Lane and then save 5 spots in line for their family members?

Being flown out to Texas by Disney for a press event? I take back the DME/RAC exclusivity and raise a new park.

It's almost certainly on Southwest's dime.

Sweet, Southwest is footing the bill for the new gate?

Just to be clear...I wasn't serious

Disney negotiated a heck of a partnership!
