Not looking like a nice day to be arriving at MCO

Looks like a lot of the flights to MCO today have been delayed (can't see the reason though).

BA2037 ex LGW got away on time but estimated arrival about 15 mins late.
VS027 estimated 2.15hrs late - eta 1751
VS015 estimated 1.15hrs late - eta 1845
VS075 departed 50 mins late - eta 1624
VS073 estimated on time dep - eta 1759

Even the 2nd TCX flight from Man are late with eta at 1625

Add in the LH from FRA which is due at 1750 and that paints one very busy immigration hall today, especially with the VS27/VS73 and the LH all within minitues of ecah other, and it'll be a race between VS075 and the TCX to see who can offload first.

Like I say - not a nice day to be in the queue at MCO :(

Delays are inevitable I know but I feel sorry for the families starting their easter hols this way.

EDIT - Just seen that last nights 16 was late so that would contribute to one of the LGW delays.

very odd, just having a quick look at the weather and OIA arrivals and departures can't see anything particularly that would effect very odd.

Our flight a few weeks ago was a bit delayed coming in but that was due to the unseasonal weather on the day and we landed in grey wet weather with wind very unusual scene to land into MCO.

Think the delays started on Wednesday when G-VLXG on VS66 was 3-4 hrs late leaving Montego Bay, and it all spiralled from there
