Hi,
I flew out of MCO on Friday pm. After checking in at VS at 2pm I went up to McCoys Bar and Grill in the Hyatt for lunch and had a window seat where I could see the security line which appeared to be growing all the time so I did not linger too much.
The line was going back and forth several times but only took less than 15mins to clear which I thought was quite good.
While I was in the Delta Crown Room lounge( an invitation was given to me at VS check in as I have the VS Gold card ( very nicely decorated but very little in the way of snacks compared to VS lounges) I overhead a man on a pohne saying it was like a zoo ( this was around 4:30pm with separate lines to check in , put bags through the xray machine and then clear security and that it took him an hour) so the queues might have been building up after 2-3pm.
On the other hand clearing immigration , collecting backs and celaring security on the previous Saturday was a breeze and done in less than 15mins after leaving the VS flight
Regards
