Delays and cancellations at MCO

[Girl of the South]

I have been reading about flights into MCO being curtailed, the airport shutting down for a few hours. About to get in the TA cruise tomorrow - getting to London was a bit worrisome (delays at EWR) but I made it!

Has anyone had any issues flying in or out of MCO due to the shutdown? Maybe I should reserve a car and consider driving home from FL if this is not resolved in 2 weeks.

Google says 10 hours . .

Not that it will really help until you are actually in transit, but this website is interesting:

If you absolutely must be home I’d reserve a refundable car. If not I’d let it ride since 2 weeks is forever from now and hope the threat of an impacted thanksgiving is enough to cause an outbreak of common sense in DC.

Thanks for the FlightAware link! I assume it updates? When I looked it was for 4 - 8 am. Sett re ms to me when I flew over here, that the likelihood of delays increased later in the day.

The only thing about “must” being home is the added expense of a hotel room in FL and increased mass of angry people!

Really thought it would be over by now. But I thought that about Covid every week . .

Thanks!
