Delays into US

Reports the past day or so on the news suggest that due to the 2 parties not reaching agreement on the budget, enforced cuts are already affecting airports. reduced staffing levels mean longer wait times (apparently)

Will be interesting to see what anyone flying in thinks, I have two inbounds on Saturday one from MAN and one LGW arriving around 5pm. What fun will MCO be ?

I been following this a little bit and I think a lot of these reports are scaremongering and like with all Immigrations arrivals, some times you can be lucky and others you aren't.

MCO is a prime example, land on time on the first MAN flight and you should arrive in to an empty immigration hall. Arrive on the 2nd LGW flight, on time, straight after the second MAN flight and one of the other foreign carriers, and you could be at the back of 800/900 pax.

I will let you all know tomorrow when a very full flight arrives at MCO

At least there is no 15, so any wait for the last VS flight of the day will have to wait another day
