M25 was very slow. Dartford bad.

M23 Exit 9 Gatwick closed last night horrendous delays, gridlock took an extra 60 mins around Jnc 10 and back.

Gatwick itself appraoch roads backed up heavy traffic.

Meet and greet we arrived on time, or 'collecting driver there. but the incoming people how called to say they are in the terminal didnt show.

The traffic warden moved me on, even though I explained and showed the collecting driver accross the road.

Traffic warden asked me where they were??? I said I do not work for the car park co, ask them not me?

I had to go around again, the car park driver had to park the incoming peoples car in short stay which will coast them money.

Virgin flights to MCO Orlando delayed mine 95 mins 12.50 now the next is 13.20.

Allow good time to drive to Gatwick very busy.

PS V room is great!! Though internet slow.

Booked Chef Mickeys dinner tonight was a little close to arrival but now will miss!
 
Glad you made it to Gatwick on time - shame you will have to miss Chef Mickey's though :sad2:
We usually travel at the weekends but this year will be flying out on a Friday - we're not chancing the traffic and have booked our first ever stay at the airport the night before!
Hope you had a good flight :thumbsup2
