Last night around 2330 on the B side, there were three choices in the Executive Aisle: a Ram pickup, a Yukon XL, and a Mustang. I didn't want any of those, and the manager on duty hooked me up and gave me the Audi A8L. Best upgrade of my career. I saw as I was pulling away that they were beginning to pull Mercedes GLKs to the Executive Aisle.
Emerald Aisle was completely empty.

It's been a while since there's been any update on MCO Emerald/Executive Aisle, would someone mind doing us a favor and checking out inventory at MCO next time you're there? We're coming in from overseas soon for R&R and are executive emerald members and curious about possible selection. any help is appreciated...
I had a flight into MCO last Weds afternoon at about 3 with a reservation for a full size and arrived to find an empty booth, one Impala I think (that someone else was getting into) and a bunch of small SUV's and maybe a couple vans. After a few minutes an Enterprise employee strolled by and I asked her if I could get a full size. She sent me over to Alamao. One rep at the booth there and he was helping someone figure out a GPS. A couple of other people waiting and again after about 5 mins another Alamo rep shows up to help the next person waiting. She did ask if anyone had all their paperwork already and I told her I did and was looking for a full size. Said they didn't have any but asked me if I wanted a van. Declined that and she offered a Q50. Took that and once I got in it I could smell that someone had smoked in it. Normally I'd go back and get another car but I was going to put less than 100 miles on the car for 2 days so I just took off. Good luck!

What do you consider a nice SUV? This week on ES (B side) I've seen a QX70, an Acadia Limited, a couple of GC Limiteds, an Explorer Limited and there's generally also an Expedition, as well. I've omitted the ever-present Journey and Santa Fe that you can always find.

The infinti QX70 is a mid size CRossover along as the GMC Arcadia and jeep grand Cherokee which is similar to in size of a BMW x5? The Ford explorer is a full size cross over and is bigger than those.

I will be arriving in MCO and driving all the way up to Connecticut and back. Will be me, wife and daughter (5 years old) with 3 large and 2 small suitcases. Which car (from the Emerald Aisle) would be recommended (with enough room and a good mileage per gallon)? Thank you!

Feel like I really lucked out based on most of the thread. Agent just pulled in a red BMW X3 with less than 1000 miles to the emerald aisle and I took it. Later saw a white X3 on the executive side but I already snagged this one from the emerald aisle. Saw a pathfinder, a maxima along with other standard fare. This car is great though- nav and everything! Glad to snag this for five days after a bit of a rough flight with the little one. Good luck!

1-2 years ago the going rate for a Corvette Stingray Convertible at National was a $100/day upcharge which included unlimited miles. Not sure if that has changed with the new 2017s they received recently (I can confirm spotting one at National LAX also now and Hertz recently got a bunch in too).

Auto Enthusiast,
Thanks for the reply!
I have no idea what this FL driveout is. But with 5 suitcases (I am not from US), air fare would be too expensive (I researched this and price for the 3 of us plus only 2 bags would be twice as expensive as the car rental including all insurances!).
Also, I need to stop at 3 different locations on my way back to Orlando.

I'm flying into MCO on Friday 4/21 arriving around 9:30pm. What type of SUVs do they usually have on the EA? Last time I was in MCO I was able to pick from ES (didn't make that status for 2017 unfortunately) so I was able to get a new Acadia.
I've heard mid/late April is a low season for Orlando since it's post-spring break so I was hoping that would be a decent enough selection, especially since I would be arriving late. I personally wouldn't mind a nice EA car (i.e. new altima or something) but the other half likes the SUVs so there we have it.
