I have to say this all makes me very nervous! We’re flying into MCO in a few weeks for the first time, and all I see are thunderstorms in the forecast. We’re flying in the day before the cruise, but now I’m not only worrying about flight delays, also worried about soaked luggage! I’m thinking I may need to put everything in large ziplocks? We almost never have t-storms where I live so maybe I’m overreacting...
Weather forecasts for June through November are highly likely to show daily thunderstorm chances for here in central FL. But that does NOT mean it happens every day, and even when it does happen, it is generally a passing storm and doesn't last for hours. Good for you flying in the day before!!! Hopefully not one of the last flights out though.
My luggage getting soaked was the only time this has ever happened to me, and I live here in metro Orlando. And that time the suitcase was a hard side! The only permeable portion was the ZIPPER. But the inside still was wet that one time.
I pack almost every thing in oversized ziplock bags, not so much to keep them dry but to keep them neatly folded and clean.
