..... but on 31 Dec, there was no snow or ice or reason for transport issues to affect staff getting to the airport. The flight was also almost empty so it would not have taken very long to conduct the "additioanl screening" security checks. Still there was an almost 4 hour delay for a reason that Virgin will not divulge to me when I complained.
Relative's return flight this morning was 5 hours late.... should have arrived at 07:05 but got in around mid-day; at least she was given meal vouchers in the USA to eat before she flew. On Saturday 9th, this same flight was on time. Over this period, BA's flights to Orlando have suffered delays but nothing like as bad as Virgin's.
I think that Virgin have issues of some sort hence posing the original question.
Anyone have any info please?
