    Interesting. I've only been to them in England. They were a little plain, but seemed ok.

    That's awesome.

    I was curious about what plane they were using and found out something interesting by doing some bookings. Select your departing flight This route is only served by partner airlines. JetBlue flights may be displayed first. They are selling (as based on the picture on their "Where We Jet" page as a direct flight from MCO to Paris. It is not. It is fully pictured as such, though. This is either a flight from MCO to one of American Airlines hubs and THEN to Paris or a code-share flight on Icelandair from MCO to Keflavik to Paris. It does eventually become a JetBlue flight many months from now, but it is via Boston or NY. Looks like the info about the planes was more accurate than the JetBlue website

    To steal a joke from Back to the Future maybe a quick trip back to the past will render this Six Oaks Park.

    It's in the basement of the Alamo!

    You do wonder about that. Sometimes they catch it and it is fine. Sometimes they don't and the house of cards comes down. They currently only have 15 737s (700s and 800s) in their fleet, so they can't expand too much. I say that, but there are hundreds and hundreds of 737-700s in line to be phased out of Southwest's fleet in the next couple of years as they bring in newer planes. Combined with the 737-700s/800s in the Delta, United, and American fleets that are on the way out as they upgrade to the 737-MAX 7/8/9/10 models (the model depending on the airline) in the next 5 years. I'm pretty sure those old 737s will be a huge hit in smaller South/Latin American markets that love them, but there should be tons of them to go around to Avelo & friends.

    This is great info about the aircraft and all, but while the London and Amsterdam flights only run from Boston and NY, the Paris flight is from MCO. https://www.jetblue.com/route-map EDIT: THIS POST IS INCORRECT. I have found better data and what I said here is misrepresented by JetBlue on their website. See later post for details.

    Since I made my comments last week, I found out more. JetBlue announced last week that it is adding Amsterdam and apparently Paris has already started. That's London (Heathrow and Gatwick), Paris, and now Amsterdam. They are rumored to be looking at Edenborough, Dublin, Frankfurt, and Munich. They might start getting some more international attention.

    As an international hub. I think Orlando, especially an Orlando with a greatly expanded MCO, is a great spot for more international flights. I can take Virgin Atlantic/BA to London or Aer Lingus to Dublin or Emirates to Dubai. I think there are a few Caribbean, Mexican, Central/South American, & Canadian (which aren't hard international flights) airlines that do one-offs . There are some seasonal non-stop flights to Europe, as well. Those are all limited. JetBlue is really expanding their market and they might be our first hope. Although, they don't do Asia/Africa/Europe yet (outside of NY to London). I just think it would be nice for the massive millions of tourists to not have to layover in Miami, London, Atlanta, LA, NYC, or somewhere else.

    We need that international hub status for sure, but that's not coming anytime soon. It's weird that it's not, because we certainly have the tourist numbers for it. It would be nice to have KLM or Lufthansa. JAL, as mentioned above, would be killer.

    Just in case someone didn't get the reference.

    I HATE THE MAGIC! I HATE THEM! I HATE ALL THE ORLANDO MAGIC IN THE WHOLE WORLD!

    I agree wit h no documents. Thanks for finding your info. Spense made it a bit easier by having his birthday in both his profile and his actual screenname.
  16. HankStrong
    It would have!
  17. HankStrong
    Can we not all, at least in retrospect, agree that the brise soleil being gone is the single best thing to happen to Orlando in nearly 200 years?
  18. HankStrong
    This is the kind of positive news you want to hear. People saying nice things is great. Solid news stories are wonderful. Ridership forces you to buy more trains? That's gold.
  19. HankStrong
    Yes. Basically, an interstate quality run for a train.
  20. HankStrong
  21. HankStrong
    Thanks for that. I really need to get back into some other trains I've ridden.
  22. HankStrong
    Amen to this. DC exit harkens back to the misery of interstate exits years ago.

    It's a new neighborhood. Some company I've never dealt with called Mattamy Homes built a few neighborhoods off Dowden Road just South of it. Tax appraiser site says they were held under the name BEACHLINE SOUTH RESIDENTIAL LLC until they were sold. The land you describe (I believe you mean at the 5:30 mark of the video) appears to be the next phase of that work. It's also under the name BEACHLINE SOUTH RESIDENTIAL LLC, so I assume it will also be the same developer. That's not a fact, that's a reasonable guess. Googling that name also leads to a bunch of articles about Mattamy Homes. That said, the individual parcels haven't been recorded on the tax appraiser site yet.

    It's good to see some hats in the mix, even if they are only small ones.
