I'm hearing via a FB friend that VS16 MCO-LGW had problems last night, sat at Orlando for 4 hours trying to fix a fuel leak, they made it to the end of the runway before calling it a day and rescheduling the flight for 24 hours.

Passengers all put up in a hotel for the night.

I am sure €600 per passenger will soften the blow thanks to EU261.

Looks like Mustang Sally has been shipped in to cover the gap for the outgoing VS15 today

And an extra night in Orlando in the Rosen Centre.

No doubt another "extraordinary circumstance" reply will be sent out, I'm still waiting for my claim from a year ago.

Going from bad to worse, the now renamed VS1016 has gone tech again with catering problems meanwhile the replacement G-VROC is running late and overbooked, free flights being offered for passengers willing to delay for another day.

VS not having a good day at MCO.
