I hope you get there! I would say by Monday morning (maybe 4PM for you) people will have a better idea of what the situation will be like for you on Tuesday.

I'm going from Cleveland to LGW on 23-9 - I imagine I won't have the same worries you do right now....

The storm is just beginning to come into Orlando and is moving very slowly (8:30 a.m. EDT Sunday). Flights have been disrupted for several days. The best bet is to keep in contact with your airline. Sanford began cancelling charter flights on Thursday.

keep checking MCO website.
They will have the latest information on when they will continue operating.

Good luck!
I'm waiting for the same thing...

I'd say keep in touch with your airline. The plane certainly will not take off unless it has a confirmed place to land.

The flight information is not currently accurate!!!! If you look at departing flights now, it shows some as on time, other delayed, and still more cancelled! I don't think so..... The front page does say flight operations have ceased but the arriving / departing info isn't up to date. Found this out after Charley on that Saturday a.m. as my travel agent kept telling me I had no problems getting in that flights were going - she was looking at that website (as were some people at CRO it turns out). The individual airlines websites WERE accurate at that time so that might be the best source of info about individual flights.

We are suppodely flying out tomorrow. We were orginally scheduled to fly out on Saturday to Orlando but obviously our flight was cancelled. We called today approx. 15 minutes ago to check on our flight status for tomorrow. We were told that as of right now Orlando Airport is closed until Monday (Sept 6) to 12:00 pm. We were told we needed to call back after 6:00 p.m. tonight to find out more info. Our flight was to leave at 7:25 a.m. so it sounds like we will be delayed but how long is the real question.

I will post later after we call again tonight.

Hope this helps.

MCO opens tomorrow at noon for ticketed passengers. Call your airline before you go to the airport for the most up to date information regarding your flight.

They have to fly planes into MCO before they can resume flights to other locations.

Our flight was delayed only an hour so we arrive at Orlando when the airport opens back up at 12:00 pm. We were told that there could be a last minute decission in the morning for the Orlando Airport to open earlier. We just have to see when we get there.

sounds like we will finally be off..... yipppyyyyyyy

We arrived on the first Chicago to Orlando flight via ATA with NO problems. The flight wasn't even all that bumpy!
