Hi all. Flying out on the vs15 on May 21st , my wife's a very nervous flyer and keeps a check on movements etc on here and other flight information sites, she keeps noticing that a lot of the LGW 747's are runny late a lot of the time or going technical a lot , can anybody reasure Her
In the whole scheme of things does it really matter if it is a bit late?
Out of the four trips I've done to MCO over recent years we have had some delays due to:
Thunder at MCO delayed take off. ( I'm happy to wait for that to pass.)
Delays in turnaround at Gatwick. Most recent only delayed boarding by 30 mins we still took off on time.
Technical when engineers had to replace the knurled grommet sprocket on the rotary floater. Again happy to wait to fly on a plane that has been sorted.
What is annoying is when you get a small delay at Gatwick and land just after another flight at MCO only to find 300 people in front of you at the immigration checks.
Be reassured: Flying is safe.
