Does anyone know why the flight times for the next few days are nearly 11 hrs from lgw to MCO . We travelled 10 days ago and it was 8 1/2 hours. We are due back on Monday and with the flight coming in later suspect our flight out will be delayed as I doubt they can turn the plane around in 2 hrs.

Something to do with the strongest winds since 1987 that we are expecting in the next few days, maybe???

If you were looking at arrival / departure times rather than flight time, also remember the clocks go back in the UK this weekend but not in Florida until next weekend. This creates a 4 hour time differnece and could be 'adding' an extra hour to the flight LGW -> MCO. Of course, MCO -> LGW the flight will be percieved as an hour less.
