Tampa is open so maybe some airlines will allow you to reroute into Tampa.

The problem is the time difference. Orlando Airport hold their crisis calls at 1300 each day which is 6pm UK time so makes it difficult to updates customers any earlier for the following days flights.

In addition can the airlines launch Wednesdays flights without knowing if the airport will be open. I would say Wednesdays flights are highly doubtful to operate.

We are heading to manchester today as we have a hotel booked that we cant cancel...not great as so vague!
If I was in your place I would be also going to the airport.

If it moves as predicted then it should be past by Wednsday AM Florida,providing the wind speed is not to high your flight should be fine.

We were told in 2017 irma on route to Miami if windspeed was less than 37 mph ( Just over 32 knots ) then we would land, we were last plane to land before the airport shutdown.
On a dry runway, the Boeing 737-800 crosswind limitation landing is the same as take-off, 33kts. On a wet runway this reduces to a maximum of 30kts.

There are many factors and all planes are not the same when it comes to landing in wind also not all airports are the same and they have different rules regarding allowing a plane to land in winds

Hope it goes well

Struggling to see how they can give you an answer at that time when the airports aren't making the decision whether open or not until around pm US time

Obviously I'm not an expert but I will very surprised if the flights go tomorrow based on the weather forecast.

I think we will have to do the same tomorrow evening (we are staying at the Ibis London Gatwick) and then just wait and see. Hopefully the airport opens for you guys tomorrow!
