Tomrrow's VS15 and tonights VS16

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for those flying tomorrow.

There seems to be a problem with the VS16 coming back from MCO-LGW
Todays VS15 is slightly early in at est. 16:31, but not much
However the estimated departure of VS 16 has been put back to 04:30 (from 20:10)

VS15 tomorrow is showing a delay from 12:45 to 15:00 at the moment

Not good news

What a nightmare I would hate to be stuck for that long through the night.

Thats not good - it is not nice for those going on holiday tomorrow

It looks like they have added an extra flight VS115, so it looks like the aircraft which is at Orlando and must have gone "tech" because there are now three Vs flights from Gatwick today, VS27 (taxiing now) VS115 (12:45) and VS15 (15:00)
So one is a positioning flight (VS115) to replace the aircraft stuck in Orlando.
Our Dissers might be lucky and the passengers from the late VS15 may be put onto the VS115

Good for VA to do this Shows that they can do it if they need to.
