Baggage Delays Strand 800 at Orlando Airport for 5+ Hours, Passengers Threatened With Arrest for Leaving

An agonizing wait at Orlando International Airport (ORL) unfolded on Saturday, June 27, when arriving passengers off a Virgin Atlantic flight were told they would be waiting for the delivery of checked baggage, and that due to weather conditions there were delays. The aircraft had arrived from London at around 7:00 PM local time, but it had stretched past midnight before any sign of bags arrived.
