Mobile Virgin flights time changed

We are set to go from Manchester in August to Orlando. Been hearing rumours that Virgin have been adjusting flight times recently. Logged on to our booking from last month and it now shows departure flight 25 minutes earlier. We've arranged taxis to airport and will now have to change the pickup time.

Has anyone else come across this where times have been changed? Also I wasn't even notified. I just looked by chance.

I got a email but my DS DH and DD didn’t. We are all on separate reward seat bookings.

I booked Virgin flights for September from Gatwick in late December and they've changed twice since then. Virgin didn't tell me on either occasion. Someone recently posted about their Virgin September flights changing so I thought I'd better check and they had been changed - not just flight times but actual flight numbers, with the outbound flight leaving an hour and a half earlier and the return flight leaving 2 hours and 10 minutes earlier. Then yesterday someone who's on the same return flight as me messaged me to say the flight time had been changed again - the same flight this time but 20 minutes earlier. Again I checked and sure enough mine mine had also changed again. Reading threads on here all airlines seem to be doing it.

We go in May on the VS75 from Manchester, received e mail message yesterday notifying me of the new departure time 1005 am.

Could be trying to alleviate the pressure on MCO Immigration by spreading out arrival times

Thomas cook have moved theirs in recent weeks as have the Norwegian flights from Gatwick. Like the poster above says, maybe it’s Mco sorting out their slots but I’m hoping they are all sorted now and no more changes!

We got an email yesterday that our return flight to Belfast in August was now 25 minutes later departing.

Is it wrong that I'm slightly disappointed not to have had my outbound flight changed to an earlier time?! Fly with Virgin late April so still time I guess. Sorry for those that have to rearrange plans or finish their holiday earlier though.

Same as you, no email / text or anything, purely found out by chance.

On the upside, will be at MCO at 14.05, so more holiday time...

My outbound flight was cancelled completely. My Travel Agent advised me and had to rebook two different flights and the whole two week Beach Club stay. Was a pain re booking 16 ADRs as well! Our outbound flight a day earlier also departs an hour earlier but this is a win for me. Had to change annual leave at work as well. I hope it doesn’t change again.

I got the e mail this morning about the flight time change for September, however we cancelled the flight a couple of month ago when they changed the day of the flight.

I guess they haven't updated their systems
