Arriving at MCO around 1am on 4/2 (flight leaves at 11pm on 4/1). Currently have an EE res starting on 4/2, ending on 4/9 for full size at $318.69. Looking to possibly arrive earlier (if DL has confirmed seats for same-day change - we are Plat Med) and depart a day or two later. Pricing on a new res shows $471.01 for 4/1-4/11 - that's over $150 for 2 more days. Would I be better off with the original res and then keeping the car an additional day or two or making the new res for the higher price and then just letting the chips fall where they may with the pick up/drop off times?

Hoping to get something at least as big as a std SUV though we've pulled Navigators and Yukons from the EE aisle before. I have a "backup" res from 4/1-4/11 at Alamo for a full-size SUV at $505.51 and a premium SUV at Budget for $538.31 so those are my worst-case scenarios.

I picked up on 3/27 around 4pm. Didn’t get to catalog EA/ES like I usually do because I had family in tow. There were plenty of cars of all sizes but no big suv. For larger cars they had Ford Flex, Grand Cherokee, Highlander, and Caravans. There were Land Rover Discovery for upgrade. I asked for a large suv and suggested a Tahoe, Suburban, or Expedition. Without any hesitation the attendant said let me see what I can find. She came back with a QX80 which was fine by me.

There is no such thing. I don't know why you keep asking about it in every thread.

the reason I have asked this question in every thread is that there's conflicting reports here's a quote from Wiley
"Picked up at DCA last week. Something must have been off. As far as selection goes, it was a lot of the usual, but the cars seemed out of place...like a Nissan Maxima in ES, a Fiat 500 in EE...and a Ford Expidition with 500 miles in the regular EA. Go figure" and quintious who rented from mco stated the following
"I've ended up at this joint 5 times so far this year. EE aisle universally has an army of minivans, convertible Mustangs, and more often than not BMW 4-series. Last time I was there, all that was left were minivans. I went up to the counter and he handed me the keys to a Maserati. I think next to DEN and LAX, this might be my fave National spot".
I'm just looking for clarity, thanks

There is no such thing. Is that clear enough for you?

You wrote " we've pulled Navigators and Yukons from the EE aisle before". Is there a special aisle at the airport for EE members that is not part of the regular executive aisle and if there is what is the aisle called? Also, is this aisle also available for EE members only on a non free day reservation?

There is no EE aisle. There is only Emerald and Executive Aisle. EE and Exec members can pick form both aisles. People on these forums use EE/ES to designate the same aisle which is the executive aisle.
