The plane from PHL-MCO was full; the return flight was only half full.
The flight we originally booked was a nonstop Monday morning. As the storm neared, we changed that to Wednesday morning. Then it stalled, and the Orlando airport closed for Tuesday and most of Wednesday. We had to change to Thursday morning and hope for the best.
On the Southwest website, they would list the alternative flights if you wanted to change for hurricane reasons. They have 3 non-stop (morning, afternoon, night) PHL->MCO and about 20 flights through other cities. As the hurricane neared, the flights through other cities all sold out, but SW still allowed us to select the 3 non-stop that matched our original flight if we wanted to change our plans.
I do not know how they did that, especially for a $159 Wanna Get Away ticket.
