Aer Lingus - 10 hr 25 min flight?

We are flying from Dublin to MCO at beginning of March and our flight time is 10 hours 25 mins and a direct flight. It has never been this length of a flight before, does anyone have any idea why this would be so long?

Exactly that - spot on Gryff.

They did this with their schedules last year. The page will show the correct flight times eventually. I confirmed this with them via twitter at the time. Don�t bother emailing them about it as you wouldn�t believe the ridiculous response I got when I tried that.
The dates I was looking at were in May and they did update eventually- so not related to clocks changing so if your dates don�t overlap with the time variance on either side of the Atlantic, the clock change won�t explain it.

That might explain it then, we fly on 9th March. Thanks

We fly April 1 - Dub to Mco. Flight time with AL is showing 9H15Mins. Presume your extended time is due to day light savings as a pp said.
