Our SW flights changed so many times. No more direct flight from Buffalo. We have to change planes in BWI. But we still have good times. We are 5 weeks out. Hope they leave them as is now. I’m getting excited and nervous. Not nervous for Disney but for flying. We are wearing N95 masks for the plane and airports. i hate them , but they are safer.seems they cancelled the mid week flights and kept some. We depart JB on a thurs and its a nonstop and still looks fine, it was the returning on a wed that was cancelled, but yet if I chose to extend my trip a day and leave on thurs oct 1st there are 2 choices of nonstop flights available. I am debating keeping the new SW sept 30th flight with the BWI layover, or picking a thurs oct 1 JB nonstop. All it would cost us is an extra few points to add a DVC night. Anyone have advice?
thats what I did, I added a night at copper creek and changed from sw layover to JB nonstop. 50 days out and we are just holding so tight to hope that none of the flights gets cancelled!Our SW flights changed so many times.

I would go with the extra day and nonstop flight if I had a choice.

check other airlines and see if you can book something else! I am sick of checking and seeing things cancelled or changed with no notice. I am so sorry!! Hope you can book another airline!I had a flight scheduled from Buffalo in 5 weeks too. Just got an email from SW about an adjustment to our rapid rewards balance because of a flight adjustment or cancellation. Logged into the SW site & our flights are cancelled! I didn’t cancel them. The nonstop we were on is gone from the schedule. But the return flight connecting thru BWI is still there. I even got an email yesterday about a time change for that one. And now...
everything is cancelled....

Hope you can get back soon! My husband is essential too and no working from home. We are a little younger almost 50 and will test upon return before heading back to work. Stay safe!!!Aw, thanks! But truly, we already know we can’t go. We are in our 60s, DH has a chronic health issue that makes him high risk. Our area has only a 1% positive rate right now..... we‘re just not willing to risk going to Florida with their numbers so high. To say nothing of NY’s quarantine order. We’re essential workers & no working from home for us.
I am just SOOOO annoyed at SW. How do they just cancel & not even notify you. I will have to call & demand my Early Bird money be refunded tho.
yes I happened to go on the site and saw the direct flight down was cancelled I called and she booked me on a new flight But with a stop in BWI. I still have good flight times so that’s fine. Hope they stick!! On both my flights it shows few seats left in each category so I think we should be ok.I had a flight scheduled from Buffalo in 5 weeks too.

From an Orlando Sentinnel reporter:
It's official! https://www.flgov.com/wp-content/uploads/orders/2020/EO_20-192.pdfYay! Still would like to see their offical site be updated but this is an extremely encouraging notification.
Haha, yes. I'm sure that will updated soon since the executive order is now official.Oh yeah, I saw that one so I guess its official haha. Was hoping for an update here as well.

Great! Now all that has to happen is 7 rolling days of under 10% Covid in FL and MAYBE then I can still go... Only question is- how does a rolling average get calculated? How many days in a row need to be under 10%?From an Orlando Sentinnel reporter:
