Hundreds of Virgin Atlantic passengers were stuck at Orlando International Airport for more than five hours Saturday night and told they could be arrested if they left without their bags, passengers say.

Carol Wick, who owns an international consulting firm, had been traveling with her husband for a two-week vacation in Croatia and was returning home to Orlando on a Virgin Atlantic flight from London Heathrow Airport. After several delays and a canceled flight, Wick said she was ready to get home once she landed in Orlando. After arriving at OIA around 7 p.m., Wick said officials told passengers their bags would be slightly delayed due to weather.
