So that explains the BA#9*** flight number that arrived from DEN and departed several hours later for EGKK lastnight. Asked the same question over on A-nutters.net and was told it was The Dreamflight return leg. But that took place last month and went via EGLL.

Anyway, I can agree with how bad MCO is for international arrivals. Heck, I work at this airport (domestic carrier) and never knew how stupid a design it was till I returned from MROC. What a joke!!!

A new terminal for international flights is going in down by the departure end of 35R. If you happen to be lucky enough to fly through my fair airport, (for you international guys sarcasm is switched ON) and arrive or depart on 35R you will see what I'm talking about. Land cleared and some earth moving in progress, not much else lately.

Not a lot of info found on GOAA's website about it. But it is supposed to be completed around 2007 give or take 12 months!

As for the rest of the airport, especially my airside (Airside 2) is awesome!

The B777 stuck in MCO is GE powered, the matrix in the pre-cooler is U/S! and you are right, TSA need a customer relations course!

TBE.
