  1. Currently only Delta (thru Endeavor Air) offers non-stop service to and from KMSP flying CRJ commuter aircraft, while Frontier, Southwest, and Spirit airlines all have non-stop flights to and from KMCO using larger Boeing and Airbus planes.

    1. You can fly to Cancun seasonally. I wish there were year-round options to placed like Mexico City and Belize City.

  2. “Orlando is the top vacation destination from Indianapolis, Rodriguez said.”

    Imagine if people took the thousands of dollars they would pay going to Disney World on a trip to go experience other cultures in other countries.I don’t know if I’ve ever spent as much on an international trip as the average family spends per person on a trip to Orlando. But I’m not picky about where I go and where I stay.

    1. Kind of a weird thing to be lecturing people about during a global pandemic, wouldn’t you say?

      Clearly those Americans who choose to use their limited and hard-earned cash to take their kids to Disney World are cultureless cretins and deserve a dressing down by their cultural superiors, who know what’s best for them.

    2. I don’t care if somebody takes their family to Orlando or not, and I am happy about this flight. The more people flying, the better. Personally, Disney World is the last place I’d want to spend my money when there is so much reality to experience. And I think that many other people would feel the same way if they realized how inexpensive international travel could be.

  3. People have the right to travel as they wish to destinations they choose. If Orlando is the top destination as documented by statistics, then so be it. Service providers respond to the market.

    Let us hope that pandemic-related illness and economic impact will continually lessen and that flight options for IND will continue to improve. More direct and non-stop flights would be great, but one must face reality that IND is not a major hub and despite the capacity available, efficient design, and pleasant atmosphere, dreaded and dreadful commuter jets are all too common. Granted some advantages of the smaller jets exist — some do have overhead storage accommodating an average roll aboard bag, one is never inconvenienced with a middle seat, and boarding/alighting is faster. For IND one must book considering a layover along with the unfortunate and not uncommon delays and dysfunction, and lack of consumer protection.

    Bear in mind, many believe the the best part about Indianapolis is leaving it. The city needs to strive for improvement. The Statehouse is not helping.
