Virgin Flight delays!

[sandshal]

Been watching the flights recently and everything seemed fine ....... until 2 days ago! Delays seem to be getting progressively worse on the 12:45 ...... today's flights already delayed to 5.00 pm ish - any clues as to what's caused the holdup? Can't imagine it's Tropical Storm Eduado yet.

Yesterday's VS015 was just over 1 1/2 hours late taking off so not too bad in the grand scheme of things.

Also today's VS015 according to Gatwick departures - 12:45 VS015 ORLANDO AIRBORNE 1259 South

I'm afraid i'm a little sceptical of Virgin's flight status as last year my daughter was checking their website where it said we'd taken off on time yet two hours later i was phoning her still sitting at Gatwick!!

My details came from Gatwick BAA and are similar to VA's so they both can't be wrong.

Think the stess and headaches are getting to me - starting to see delays that aren't even there! Music to my ears ..... only 1 more working day to go

Famous Last Words but things on VA seem to have been a lot better recently.

I have been checking VA027 daily and it is usually more or less on time i.e within about 30mins of the published times.
