VS027- cancellations and mergers

Hi - it appears VS 27 (the earlier flight) from LGW to MCO does not run all year round (is not currently running).

Is this a planned part of the schedule or as a result of light loads?

thanks

At various times of the year, VS will merge/cancel certain flights due to light loads. The LGW-MCO flights are often on of those merged at this time of year when it is a quiet period on that route.

The fabulous Cabbie on the Dibb keeps an ongoing thread updated showing the cancellations and mergers of the Virgin flights to Florida - it is a great resource for people planning trips in quiet times.

Also worth pointing out that it is not always the 27/28 that is cancelled.

During certain days in November and December last year it was the 15/16 that wasnt operating. I would imagine it all has a lot to do with other schedules on the ex LGW routes etc.
