NEWS: Over 100 Flights Delayed or Canceled at Orlando Airport

Starting your vacation off with travel problems is never ideal.

Whether you’re experiencing road trip traffic, flight delays, cancelations, or more, getting to your destination can often come with a headache. For folks flying in and out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) this morning, that’s exactly what happened.

If you’re flying out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) today, we’ve got some less-than-stellar news for you — quite a few flights have been delayed and some have been canceled altogether at MCO.

According to FlightAware.com, as of around 1:45PM ET, 106 flights had been delayed and 27 were canceled completely.

American Airlines appears to be having the most problems, with 15 flights canceled and 13 delayed. 28 Southwest Airlines flights have been delayed, but only 8 had been canceled when we checked. Make sure you check your airline’s app for the most up to date information about your flight!

Significant rain is expected in Central Florida this week. Starting on Tuesday, June 11th, the chance of rain will be 80% and that number will stay above 60% all the way through Sunday.

According to Click Orlando, the same area of tropical moisture that will be causing this rain is currently under watch from the National Hurricane Center (NHC). It’s an area of low pressure over the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and the NHC is watching it for tropical development. The system will travel across Florida, but as it hits the Atlantic, conditions may be favorable for it to develop. We’ll keep you in the loop if the possibility of a larger storm seems high.

The farther south you live, the better your chance is for rain today-

Hopefully, this rain will be enough for Disney World to reopen the Sassagoula River Cruise boats that run as transportation between Disney Springs and the resorts in that area. They’ve been closed for a while because the water level has been too low, so our fingers are crossed for a little help from the weather!
