How delays work at ORF

A ground stop holds flights bound for ORF at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • The Daily garages are the best value for trips of several days, at $14 per day maximum.
  • Use the free Park & Wait lot if you are picking someone up, rather than the curb.
  • Allow time for the skybridge if you need to walk between the Arrivals and Main terminals.
  • Do not plan on a Candlewood Suites or Holiday Inn Express shuttle without confirming it first, since their listings conflict.
