Thanks for the input.
The AA MAN-PHL did go Friday but anticipating carnage in PHL with my MCO onward flight, the excellent MAN AA desk lady rebooked us on to the direct VS 75 MAN-MCO flight - a 747 which left half-empty, despite also picking up some of the cancelled VS MAN-JFK folks. I don;t know how full the earlier VS73 MAN-MCO was, but AA were clearly doing what they could to help out.
Interestingly, my flight was booked on a 125 ticket using BA 1600 MAN-PHL and BA 6871 PHL-MCO numbers; as an aside, any ideas as to whether I'll be getting any BA avios and TPs ? not a big deal really, just wondering - I'm very happy to be lying here at Ormond Beach FL watching the sunrise instead of being stranded higher up the east coast !
