My daughter has received an email from Virgin saying her flight tomorrow (VS28) is now scheduled for 19.59, a delay of just under 2 and a half hours.
I assume that’s from the positioned VS27P now waiting at Atlanta, and that they’re assuming MCO will open at 1700 tomorrow as per the FAA forecast.

According to the FAA fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/flyfa...p?ARPT=MCO&p=0
MCO shouls be open by 5pm on the 4th.

Due to HURRICANE DORIAN EXC EMERG ACFT AND MIL OPS 4 HR PPR, the Orlando International Airport (MCO) was closed as of Sep 03 at 01:37 PM EDT. The date/time when the airport is expected to reopen is Sep 04 at 05:00 PM EDT.
BA have said our flight is still going ahead but could experience delays.

Tampa is still open so in theory BA could fly to the MCO flights to Tampa and bus passengers down to/from MCO.

The upside is that our throwaway booking for tomorrow at the campground has been changed to a family suite at AoA. Some of our party will be now staying on site.

Virgin staff, at the airport, who just wanted to go home, said they could get me to Miami or Atlanta then I have to find my own way to Orlando!
No trains so would have to get a bus or wait for orlando airport to open!

Customer service found a flight to Tampa but I can get an uber from there as only just over an hour away.

Found this on the virgin website looks like there will be some flights both arriving and departing MCO today, fingers crossed they can accommodate everyone.

They are still legally obligated to get you to your final destination unless you accept otherwise. If they don't they could be falling foul of EU regs as weather will not then be in play.

Our 1325 BA flight has been delayed by an hour but we will take that. Also looks like the earlier BA flight is still going but delayed by 2 hours according the Gatwick website.

We were on the VS75 from Manchester to MCO at 9:55 today, found out last night - after a lot of conflicting information from the text line and phone line of Virgin Atlantic - we’ve been moved onto the VS0073 that’s delayed until 16:00. Really hoping this goes ahead and that we make it to POFQ tonight - due to land at about 8PM. The lack of updates from MCO is making me nervous but hopefully Virgin know what they’re doing!
