You're not chased off from the drop off/pick up area as much at night as you are during the day. When being dropped off during the day, learn how to tuck and roll.
TSA Orlando. I paid for the opportunity to go through pre check. So when that line is than. The regular one we notice. Because they start taking off shoes and belts also taking out little baggies
Lyndon LevettOctober 14, 2017Leave pletty of time to get to you gate, and there's shops everywhere don't worry about going t the first shops you see,the place is that big you you don't need to
Syeda TApril 9, 2015I was through my check in process with a breeze! I wish that they were all like that! I was part of the express check in. Didn't have to take off my shoes or go through.
- Ed HoffmanJune 28, 2013When going through TSA lines get in the right most lanes. They filter to the same queue that goes to the right so the left lanes get jobbed while all the right ones keep filtering in before you!
EricaNovember 6, 2012Taxi stand gives you a slip with the cab company and car number of your cab. Therefore, if you forget something in the cab you know which one you were in. Nice little touch to their customer service!
Mario Patcha Gray SinclairNovember 1, 2016A lot of people don't realize the Cell lot is a waiting area for Departing & Arriving flights! You don't have to drive around in circles while waiting for your flyer to show up.
Adam PortraisJune 12, 2013In the morning! Always opt out. TSA has no clue about ANYTHING the body scanners do or don't do- plus, you'll be checked for GPR- how cool is that? And remember- If you see something- Say something.
Amazing airport. There is a mexican grill restaurant, a Burguer King, and an italian food restaurant in the Airside 1
Besides O'Hare, MCO is one of my favorite airports. Clean and tons of stores to look through when waiting for your flight.
Take EVERYTHING out of your pockets going through the scanners. That includes taking off all your jewelry, belt, and footwear. Stop holding up the line cause you can't figure out why you're beeping.
Nice airport. Arrive early if you are flying out in the morning. MCO TSA lines get insane between 6-8am.
Better than expert traveler, better than Clear- TSA PreCheck. Went through in 25 seconds, waited for friends to take 38 mins through the expert line... Shoes, belt on. No body scanner. Liquids in bag
If you are in Terminal B and 30-59 go to Zaza and get a coffee and Cuban sandwich and you must get the sandwich pressed. Really good.
Jeff WisinskiFebruary 25, 2017The airport is clean and easy to traverse; however, not very pet friendly. If traveling with a service animal, the only pet relief areas are outside of security which requires multiple re-screenings.
If you're flying Delta, the Delta Skyclub is right before gate 70. Its spacious and provides all the amenities you'll need as you wait for your flight. Use the Amex Platinum card to get access.
Airport security is a disaster here, mostly due to the high number of families with their insane amounts of luggage. Once you’re past that point, the food and shopping selections are decent.
Brandon UttleyFebruary 18, 2019Go For Launch was here! You can learn a lot from the magical marketing in Orlando. www.goforlaunch.io #alwaysbemarketing #goforlaunch
ChristianMay 25, 2013Getting here early will serve you well, and if at all possible get a morning flight, at 5:00am you'll breeze right through clearance making your travel that much more relaxing.- Ian S.December 1, 2016STAY AT THE HYATT. Seriously great hotel right on top. Heated pool, great service, request a balcony with a runway view.
Good airport, def check prices on Uber and Taxi. We go back and forth on which is cheaper. This trip Uber was cheaper by $15.
Easy to navigate if you follow the signs. If lost, just ask someone, people are friendly. Also, if you get delayed there are a bunch of shops to see.
Great shopping at this airport---Disney, Universal, Kennedy Space Center, etc. and also a nice hotel option right on site (Hyatt).
Be prepared to wait in line for security check- loooooooong lines!! Remember that all connections and traffic from the Parks pass through MCO 🛬🛫✈️ be patient. Be polite.
Travis LibertyJune 17, 2013Don't forget to check out before departing MCO, the Disney EarPort. And directly across Universal Orlando Resort Store!
Okay, let's just call a spade a spade...there are NOT that many bars in this airport. That means that big Outback that you see as you approach the big split is the most likely place you'll get a drink
Diane McClureOctober 26, 2014You won't mind arriving early since there's good food and shopping. Food prices are reasonable. You'll see plenty of employees and pilots eating here.
Love the airport as it is so easy to navigate, security is a straight up mess.
Heidi WebbSeptember 14, 2014I adore everything about this airport except the tourists.... But I guess it wouldn't be here without them. Don't miss One Flew South in terminal E if you have a layover!
Michael AhlersApril 19, 2022A time capsule from 1985. Upon arrival, ask Marty McFly if you’ve arrived at the correct decade.
If you travel out of here often, it's totally worth it to join CLEAR (- Mark BartelNovember 23, 2024If you have the time, leave the airport and check out the little mall directly beside it. Cool area to explore with a food court!
PRO TIP: you cannot travel between the two sections of Terminal B without going through security again. Terminal B is split into two different security zones (Gates 1-59 and Gates 70-129) #poorlayout.
Security can be a nightmare. Thank goodness for TSA pre-check and CLEAR lanes you can sign up for. I live here and travel often so it's worth the cost.
AJ KleinApril 25, 2013Do give yourself extra time & mindful breathing w/ the extra surly & self important MCO TSA staff who mostly seem to have been rejected from DMVs and post offices for coarseness and pomposity...
AdrianaSeptember 22, 2016The food court is nice, everything at MCO is crazy and have only had great customer service from Abdel and Augustin at budget rental car.
If you are going to A terminal the elite or A+ security line is on the right side to the right of clear. First line on the left side of the right security lines. It's a bit shorter.
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011Enjoy the magic of Orlando, Disney or no Disney at the Orlando International Airport. The food court houses a 3,000-gallon aquarium with 100+ sea critters.
DiDiJune 23, 2013Love Zaza Cuban Cafe at the 40 's gates. Their Cafe con Leche, their Chai Tea & their guava pastalitos are all yummy!
Gigi RiveraDecember 4, 20133.4 oz or less in any liquid or aersol product. Pack toiletries at the top of your luggage in case you are asked to pull it out. Bring Patience with you.
MuratMarch 26, 2017Very big, gates are separated from the checkin area by a train. Checkin area is a kind of mess, gates area is cool. Give extra time to pass the checkin and security area.
Nadiya ParamayudaApril 16, 2017Fast and far ranged free wifi. Good asian food in its foodcourt, shops a plentiful, whats not awesome about MCO?
Elizabeth NicolJanuary 11, 2015Used Uber cab and Saved more than 200% on average in the parks and resorts areas over 3 days. Uber is more responsive, the cars are nicer, and the drivers are great!
Debbie CraigJanuary 10, 2013The security lines are rediculous! Speak up out loud if you have a flight to catch. You might get a nice traveler to let you cut in, like me! Guards offer no extra help in speeding up this process.- Corran BlythMay 5, 2012Use the WiFi - it's good. Oh, and to those moaning about expert lines - there are signs saying "use the right line" but no indication of which line is which! (I went in expert line by accident)
- Get to the airport VERY early, because security here is always a nightmare.
Nitesh NayeeDecember 5, 2017There is enough ports for plugs even where you sit each seat has a plug. Wi-Fi signle is strong. Lots of place to grab somethijng to eat.
The priority security line is tucked away. Make sure to find it if you have status as it will save you so much time. This airport gas the busiest security line II have ever seen in the morning.
