- Thanks for watching this complete airport tour of Orlando International Airport!
As a lifelong traveler, I never get tired of the process of boarding a plane going somewhere new and exciting! Today's visit to a familiar airport is just as exciting as ever!
After flying in on a brand new ATR-42 with Silver Airways, I got to explore one of my favorite airports, Orlando International Airport, or MCO. There's always a reason to go to Orlando, with Disney's parks and resorts around the corner, and the perennial warm, sunny weather, there's always a fun reason to be there. For most people, airports are the most stressful part of their trip, but my goal is to give you the tools you need to get in, out, and through Orlando's airport with as little stress as possible, and maybe have some fun along the way!
This tour covers each of Orlando's four airside terminals, both main terminal buildings, as well as arrival and departure services, like baggage, transportation, and check-in. Don't worry, though, we get some good old-fashioned planespotting in, too. Orlando hosts dozens of airlines providing service to over one hundred destinations worldwide, so you'll never get bored at MCO!
This video was made independently, without implicit or explicit endorsement or support from any party mentioned or shown within the video, including the Greater Orlando Airport Authority, the city of Orlando, any airline mentioned or shown within the video, or any third-party service provider shown or mentioned in the video. I just like making these videos!
Airports are our gateway to the world, and I hope you enjoy this and other airport tour videos from Miles by Foot! Thanks for watching, and keep moving forward!

I come to this airport every time me and my family go to Disney World. As soon as I walk into this airport, (call me crazy), I instantly take a good whiff and just smell the Florida air and it instantly hypes me up for an awesome time:) I miss it. Thank you for this video!!
So glad to hear that! I always get excited landing here and seeing the palm trees, that's what does it for me.
Agree with both of you. This place means vacation to me. And I can’t forget the sight of palm trees.
Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last couple of days :)
@Kayson Jameson Yup, I've been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself :D
@@MilesByFoot palm trees do it for me too. I’m 15 and I come from Boston Logan airport to MCO and I’m so nervous I’ve never traveled alone I’m gonna get lost :(
I was here in late December and seeing all the Disney ads everywhere made me not want to leave. So many good memories have been made in Orlando.
MCO has to be one of the most nostalgic airports in the country!
This place starts off our Disney vacations, and it’s become just as iconic as the actual parks for us, we love it!
That's how I feel, too!
I’ve been America four times all in Orlando for 3 weeks I’m from uk and honestly it’s the best place I’ve ever been I love Orlando and America the theme parks the weather is perfect sunny and cool all day then it’s rains at 3 for a hour it’s perfect the shopping as well😂 love all the junk food you get out there take about 6 boxes of cereal home with me😂 I love Florida tho my dream is to buy a house out there.
Also when you go to the main terminal and see the big American flag on the wall I’ll never forget that!
Well, as a central Florida resident and frequent user of Orlando International, let me be the first (maybe not) to invite you to Orlando, Florida in general as your new home! It’s a wonderful place to live and live all the diversity. We have the largest Brazilian population outside of Brazil! Many, many from the UK and Ireland.
I’m autistic and going on our very first trip to WDW/US (and first trip to the USA) and this helps me A LOT to prepare so thank you so much ❤
Wonderful! Have a great time!
I appreciate that you took the time to go this video! I'll be traveling here in 11 days for my Vacation to Universal and once I saw how big it was I kind of got a little nervous. However, I'm a huge planner and this gave me everything I needed to know. Least now I know where we'll be flying into and where we'll need to go to get our bags. Thank you so much!
I'm a planner too, so this speaks to me! Thank you :)
So, you probably had the trip already. How did it go? I heard Universal was insanely crowded due to more and more guests telling Disney to get lost and running to Universal. So many of them are fed up with the Disney CEO's greedy management and the lack of quality in the theme parks. I'm so glad I had a chance to see Universal before the mass defections. I was told by a UA-camr that spring break crowds were the worst he had EVER seen! Yikes...
I remember this airport , America has the best 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
True
That looks straight out of the 70s and I love this airport because of it.
It really is one of its most charming qualities.
Orlando in general seems to be a "70's" inspired city due to the Magic Kingdom's 70's design which was heavily copied elsewhere.
This brings back all the memories. I'll be back soon MCO ❤
It's so beautiful...
I think so too!
Wonderful
Great video, keep them up!
Flying into here Feb 16th being a first time flyer, place def looks massive...
I remember that when I was there at Orlando, Florida Airport My parents surprised me with going to Disney world
Great memories 😢
❤️
This was amazing!!
Thank you!
I'm flying out from MCO to Charlotte soon. Thank you for posting this video. This will help me with finding where the heck I'm suppose to go lol
Great! Enjoy and be safe!
How was your trip Shan?
@@realtv101 it was amazing. These videos really helped me navigate through the airport. MCO is huge but beautiful! The remainder of my trip was smooth and relaxing.
@@loveionshanpriale749 why you didn't take me with you?
this place was my childhood
It's one of the reasons I love it, too!
Thank you for posting this. It makes it so much easier to learn where we need to go when we get there.
That's wonderful, thank you! Have a magical trip!
Great report
Thank you, hope it was helpful!
This is my favorite airport
Great choice!
This is a wonderful airport. Big and beautiful.
I think so, too!
My favorite airport I miss
Enjoyed that.
Great! :)
Good morning . My name is Alessandro S. Bonometto and my nickname is Mac. I’m from Brazil and I love Disney and really like City of Orlando FL . I’m missing Disney, City of Orlando, Universal, SeaWorld but Disney is my Home . Ill post every day I will post one or two videos or photos from Disney (my home), Universal, Seaworld and my favorite city in Florida, or better, in the world that is Orlando
Thanks for this video . I wish you and your family a magical day
Thank you so much for this video!!! This is exactly what I needed for my trip to Orlando once covid is over!
Glad to help; hopefully you'll be able to travel soon!
Thanks for sharing, Myles...this was awesome! We own a timeshare in Kissimmee so we spend a lot of time going in and out of MCO. Despite of the number of times we have been to this airport, I still find it intimidating at times. This really helps alot. Thanks!
Love to be of help, thank you!
I been there!
This video helped me alot on my 1st visit to MCO! 👍
Thank you so much!!!
Glad it helped! :)
I was in Connecticut and arrived in FL here. Brings back memories.
That's one of the great parts about this place: it's memorable!
This is great! So helpful! Keep up the good work! Thanks! 🙂👍🤗
Thank you! Will do!
Outstanding video. Great narration. Been to this airport a few times over the last decade. I'm fond of the West Palm Beach airport, very easy to navigate thru.
Thanks a lot! Never been to PBI, but it's on the list!
Great airport report!
So glad you enjoyed it!
@@MilesByFoot For sure :)
I love KMCO! So many happy memories coming from this airport. I will be back in a month tho which is exciting 🌴🙌
The palm trees!
Omg im in this video!!!!
Thank you for an excellent video! You say it's a complex airport but I think it's well laid out and the signage is really good!
I agree that the signage is good, too. Many people get nervous in airports, so I want to make videos for those folks who want to be extra cautious. :)
Miles By Foot
Thank you, as am preparing to land for the first time in Orlando, I find this video so insightful.
I remember old gates 50-59. I actually flew on Piedmont & USAir. It's been over three decades ago. I went to Orlando for every weekend and fly back to FLL on every Friday. Also, I remember gates 70-70, 90-99 and gate 60. The gate 60 where old Comair used to be. This is for Delta connection. I was there before. I remember when I was young. I actually flew on the 777-200 aircraft on Delta and then I took a flight back home to FLL. I actually flew on Comair. Also, I remember Terminal B. That was so long time ago. I haven't seen old ticket counter used to be. I remember terminal B is for Piedmont, USAir, Northwest, Delta, Midway, Barniff, United. It's been more than three decades now. When I was kid.
Love this video and very informative. Love this airport too
Thanks so much! That makes me very happy. :)
I feel like I’m the only one that finds this airport pleasant and somewhat quaint. I love all the skylights and plants throughout the airport. It’s honestly one of my favorite airports in the country. I am from the area and live in another state now but when I go back to visit I enjoy my brief visit inside.
These are the biggest reasons I love MCO!
Can't agree
im going their on Sunday , haven’t went their since 2018 . Just remembering what it feels like
Have a safe and exciting trip!
I’ve been here a year ago I’m going back in less than a week I’m watching this to remember what it feels like
Hope you had a great time!
One of my favorite airports, reminds me of one of the mallsoft albums catcorp would make.
The vaporware vibes are strong here!
The last one is where I went back when I was young
The terminal 4
Great video, MCO looks different in the daytime. I've frequented MCO a lot between 2018 and 2019, but always flew in and out around 8-10pm. I was somewhat lost when arriving each time.
Airports have totally different vibes depending on the time of day, whether it's before sunrise, the mid-morning rush, or after sunset.
Bellevideohenri🎉🎉😊
Very direct vid
Great, thanks!
A note to those who are visiting Universal's theme parks: if you arranged to pick up your tickets/vacation packets upon arrival, the Universal kiosks are INSIDE the airport where the main entrance hall is. You can call Universal to find out as the kiosks are small: just a podium or two with a conference table next to them. I wish they would put a sign or two with arrows pointing in the direction of the kiosks.
Thanks for the tip, friend!
Fantastic video. I was in awe when I arrived at MCO last October, ultra busy, hundreds of different nationalities and the heat! This video brings back some great memories! Thanks. PS: Would sell my only grandma for a green card.
We hope you can stay here soon, but hopefully you won't have to sell your grandmother.
One of my parents, either my mom or dad, go with me to Walt Disney World Resort in Central Florida by taking a charter nonstop flight from Avoca in Northeastern Pennsylvania at an airport known as Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, courtesy of Boscov’s Travel Scranton. I live in Carbondale, Pennsylvania with my parents.
Its amazing to see so many comments from people saying they love MCO. As an Orlando local I don't think its any different from most other airports, if anything its more crowded and frustrating than most (and i've been to most all of the worlds major airports). Maybe people just love Disney/Universal/Sea World and the airport reminds them of it?
I think that's a big part of it. MCO is rarely a transit airport; it's usually a destination, so excitement to visit Orlando and its attractions starts ramping up as soon as you land. The palm trees, the sunshine, the ads everywhere for Disney parks, all of that helps to make visitors think more fondly on the airport.
It's also very nostalgic. Unlike other airports of its size, it hasn't changed that much in decades, so it still has a lot of the charm that it had when parents bringing their own children were children themselves. I know it's one of my favorite airports in the country, and I like an airport where you never forget where you are, you know? Detroit, Dallas, Atlanta...those airports could be anywhere. But not MCO! :)
We live in south Florida but moved from DC 14 years ago. One reason people love it is because so many have gotten off the plane from somewhere cold, and step into 80 degree weather in December or January. They're dragging their winter coats that they were wearing only a few hours before, and realizing that they should have packed more shorts. And there are palm trees everywhere...
Great video. MCO can be a very daunting place to be the first time. Unfortunately, I fly there two or three times a year for business. My two favorite spots in the complex are Hyatt Regency’s upscale bar in their top floor “Hemisphere” restaurant. The views of the runway there are spectacular and the martinis are as well. The other spot is oddly United’s Club Lounge in Terminal B. It’s always crowded, because it’s rather small but the food is good and the service at their bar is quick and efficient, and it means if I’m there…I’m on my home 😂 🛫
That's some great insight; thanks for sharing!
2:09 Spirit
I’m using this as a guide for tomorrow. I’m super nervous as this is my first plane ride and with children lol
You can do it! Have a safe flight!
Omg mine too, our flight is tomorrow
@@MilesByFoot thank you. It wasn’t bad at all!
I’m a from England and I always loved going on holiday to Florida but I haven’t been in a long time one of the main highlights was the airport i miss it !
MCO does a great job of showcasing what Florida has to offer!
Sujehsjsysiid
Disney’s Magical Express at MCO Airport in Florida has ceased operation early this year 2022, in case you didn’t know.
I know, that's too bad! :( It was a great way to start getting pumped up about your Disney visit! My wife and I went in 2013, and I'm sad it's not there anymore. I guess you just get to Disney now by Magical Taxi Cab.
@@MilesByFoot From now on, I have to go on Mears Transportation from the airport to Walt Disney World in Central Florida.
So I live in buffalo an our airport is well I thought was pretty big then when I was going t9 Disney when we landed I was like holy moly it’s huge!
Never been to BUF, but Orlando's airport's got lots of cities beat. I find it particularly interesting because Orlando and Buffalo, as cities, are comparable in size to one another, but MCO is eight times busier than BUF!
Miles By Foot agree
I'll be visiting Orlando as soon as the Covid-19 has gone down 🔻⬇️! My niece invited me to go to Disneyworld and I told her I'll go if the pandemic has passed,if it don't go away, I can't come¡ I had a dream that I was in Disneyworld in Orlando! Blessings and Hugs 💖🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏!
Safe travel should be coming soon!
I really hope so and thank you! Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕!
Trying to explain this airport to people is always confusing, once you walk through it, it's not terrible.
It's true! That's why I thought a video *and* narration would be helpful!
My i am get ready to flying and travel soon to Ontario, CA.
I hope you enjoy your time there! Did you know San Bernardino County, where Ontario's located, is the largest county in the lower 48 states? You probably did, but just in case! :)
5:25 Terminal B is on MCO’s south side
Love this airport, my top favorite, normally I fly here every year, sadly due to Covid could not last year 😭 hopefully this year is better, have a trip this November. Sadly it will be Disney last year to use the Magical Express, will miss it. I think that new train will take over, as it will take guest to Disney springs, but no date on when that will happen 🤷🏼♀️
That's too bad! The Magical Express is pretty convenient; can't beat a free shuttle that takes you right to your resort. My wife and I used it in 2013 when we went to Disney, and it couldn't have been easier.
One of my favorite airports I’ve been too. I was there 12 years ago coming in from Portland, Oregon (First layover was in Kansas City) to visit Disney World.
I think MCI used to be (and maybe still is) a big connection airport for Southwest, especially from PDX.
My i am happy and i booked flight down to Ontario, CA from Orlando, FL by April 24, 2021.
By then you should have no problems! Enjoy your time there!
@@MilesByFoot Same to you
2:09 spirit
Having worked at MCO and now with Airline Check-In at the WDWR, curbside at the resorts, I will let you know that Terminal C will be mainly for JetBlue once it is completed along with the Brightline train network, Virgin Trains US, once it is completed.
Great insight! The trains makes sense; I'd read Virgin Trains wanted to have service along the whole peninsula.
Miles By Foot Eventually I hope that happens, but as of now the newest plan is to have a station right off Disney property and continue on to Tampa. We will see what the the future will have in store for Virgin Trains US and Virgin Holidays
I like Orlando airport LOL I just hate flying in so terrified 😭
But those G-forces during take off are the best! 😁👍
The last two times I went to Orlando I took Alaska and American. (My experience on American was better, though). I used the Admirals Club. I must admit that the terminals are rather old and don’t seem to be able to handle the crowds. There was no space at the gate. It’s good that Terminal C is almost done.
MCO is a dated airport outside of Terminal C, that's true, but at least for me, that's a big part of its charm, that it's a lot like it was when I was a kid. Doesn't make the cramped gates any less frustrating, though!
AHHHHH MY LOVE AND ENTHUSIASM FOR AIRPORTS AND FLYING ARE INDESCRIBABLE!! DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED, ILL BE GOING ON AND ON ABOUT IT FOR HOURS. I especially love the Orlando airport, it’s HUGE, filled with everything you could ever hope for, and just an overall breathtaking and surreal experience just being inside the airport! Later this month, I’m going to Florida with my family for spring break. We’ll be flying back home from the Orlando airport and I’m super excited for the vacation not only because of the general vacation but also because I get to FLY! Awesome video, hit the like button. Also subscribed. Keep up the great work and keep having fun!! 💙
A kindred spirit! ♡
Aw. Love your channel :)
Great video. Very much enjoyed it. I will just clarify that Orlando is actually the 23rd largest metropolitan statistical area in the US. The city limits are fairly small compared to the region so perhaps that where the confusing stats come in.
My choice of wording was poor in the video; statistics I found at the time showed Orlando as the 71st largest city-proper, but I said "urban metro;" which implies an MSA, in which case your calculation is far more accurate!
I am from Brazil
Glad you stopped by!
Hi, I'm David so I am getting ready to booked a flight down to Ontario, California very soon and I will get a TSA precheck screening and catch a flight soon.
always loved this airport, makes me feel like I'm on vacation because I basically always have been when I've gone through there.
That's the best part about MCO! You feel like you're on vacation there no matter what!
Went to MCO last summer and spent hours trying to find terminal C, since I had a 24 hour layover. I found terminal A and B but just couldnt find C anywhere, now i know why..
Yep! This is one of the main reasons I do these tours. Even if you missed it the first time, you can see it here. Hopefully, the next time you return, it'll be more operational!
When I flew JetBlue in 2008 I’m pretty sure they used Airside 2 at the time. Those big picture windows and ceilings are memorable. Nowadays Southwest dominates that airside.
It's true! When I was young, most flights I took through MCO passed through 2, so I have distinct memories of the terminal.
@@MilesByFoot Yeah, I got pictures on that trip. It was with a high school group. Those big glass windows and sculpted ceilings fit real well with JetBlue's modern amenities. Southwest is a bit more basic and stripped down than that, but has some of the best crews in the business. I arrived there in 2017 on a Southwest flight but hurried through; didn't recognize it as the same airside I had for JetBlue in 2008 but clearly it was. Weather was also less pleasant the second time so it looked less bright.
Been there many times over the last two decades flying southwest or delta maimly .many updates over the year .stores change or updated .easy to navagate and only an hou or sor to my sister's in my dora. Hate the tools though.
6:06 Stores (like Universal & SeaWorld)
That was an interesting airport. I was confused at first upon arrival and I had to ask an TSA to direct me to baggage claims and taxi!
It is, I'm afraid! I hope my guide was more helpful than hurtful!
@@MilesByFoot hopefully next time I go there, it’ll be A lot easier. I am hoping to go out to Orlando again to visit Kennedy space center again. I have an easy time at ORD since I always fly from ORD.
its sad the last time i went was in 2017 i miss it
It's been close to two years since I was there myself, at this point! :(
When i flew to Orlando i remember being confused
Yeah I’m 15 and I have to go by myself
1:12 JetBlue
Great tour... but what about the lounges?
Sadly, I didn't touch on the lounges much in the video, so here's what I missed.
Gates 1-29 (Frontier, JetBlue, Silver) have a carrier-neutral lounge run by The Club, called The Club at MCO. It's on the right as you exit the automated people mover. Entry for the day is $45.
Gates 30-59 (American, United, and Spirit) feature lounges for American and United. After arriving via the APM, head straight ahead for the United lounge and gates, or left to go to the American lounge and gates. The United Club is on the right (1:59) as you go down the departure hall, and the American lounge is just past gate 51, on the left as you go down the hall. I didn't use the footage in the video that showed this, but I checked the tape, just to be sure.
Gates 70-99 (Delta/SkyTeam, Int'l Carriers) host another lounge run by The Club, as well as Delta's SkyClub. Immediately after you get off the APM, in the main node of the terminal, the Delta SkyClub is to the left, and The Club at MCO is to the right.
Gates 100-129 (Southwest, Alaska) don't have a lounge; if you're using either of these airlines, the only lounges available without reclearing security are in Gates 70-99.
The USO lounge is on level 1 of the A-Side landside terminal. When you're on that level, you'll go left all the way down to the end.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I think the best airline at MCO with Better Internet than Any other Airline at MCO is Frontier
Oh how little you knew was in store for 2020, like many of us.
One thing that COVID teaches us is, if you *can* travel, do it sooner rather than later. You never know what can happen!
2:02, I think the reason United flies to Cleveland is because the merger with Continental Airlines and United.
Even IAH and EWR were major Continental hubs per-merger.
That's very likely. Since then, I've been to CLE, and the United presence there is still strong, so I'm certain you're right. Furthermore, other airports still support service to former hubs; for example, Delta flies to CVG, Cincinnati, even though Comair, its old regional affiliate, has been belly up for years.
Hi, I'm Jared so I am first time to get ready to booked a airline ticket.
TSA Security Checkpoint
I am get a boarding pass, American Airlines.
I am get ready to traveling soon from Orlando, FL to Los Angeles, CA today.
Hi! Thanks for this wonderful video. Just a question, I’m arriving to Orlando in May as an international passenger for the first time. Where can my friend pick me up? Is there arrival area that my friend can wait for me? Thank you so much in advance appreciate your reply.
Great, and thank you!
When you arrive, you'll go through customs and immigration. Most international flights arrive in Airside 4, but not all, but assuming you are, you'll exit customs and immigration, head upstairs, and take the people mover back to the main terminal. Once you're in the Atrium (04:30), you can exit on either the A-Side to the right, or B-side, to the left. If you already have your bags with you, it doesn't matter which side. The easiest way, though, is to tell your ride to meet you on whichever side corresponds to your airline. The list of A-Side airlines are at 04:47, and B-Side airlines are at 05:28 in the video. On either side, you'll go down one level to the baggage claim on Level 2. This is the best place to get picked up on either side.
Have a wonderful and exciting trip! I hope it's everything you dream, and more!
Where should I get dropped off if I have a flight with United?
United is on B-Side, the southern landside terminal. The terminal's top level is for departures. Follow the signs with the big B in a green box, like at 5:45!
Great information. Just a question. I'll be arriving here and staying at the Hyatt. Is there an outside entrance to the hotel ( for pick up the next morning) or do you have to go through the airport itself? Thank you.
There is an exterior entrance, yes!
Thank you
I am an Orlando native, and I remember in the past always thinking our airport looks straight out of the 70s and needs a major update.
Now when I go to the airport after all the big renovations, every time I am there I still think it looks straight out of the 70s and needs a major update.
It's always looked dated to me, too, but I think that's part of its charm. Even with brand new shops, restaurants, and even new terminals, the Disney/packaged-travel vibe still comes through.
The monorail also does that for me, too. I can almost hear a buttery smooth voice over the intercom, "glide to your gate on our automated trains of tomorrow, your ticket to the sky today!"
Frankly, though, I like that way. :)
If you really want 1970’s time warp, Newark has you covered, notably Terminal A. It’s got all the worst design aspects of the 70’s (circular airsides) plus over 45 years of wear and tear. Orlando seems more 90’s/00’s in comparison.
@@ecoRfan I've been to Newark many times, its definitely one of the worst major airports lol
@@jeffc1347 Terminal C isn't too bad in my opinion. I can't wait to say goodbye to Terminal A though. Terminal B is possibly even worse than A. A bigger problem beyond shabby state of repairs throughout and a lotta rude staff is that weather tends to mess up everything there at a much more frequent rate than most airports. Even on a lightly breezy day in the suburbs it can shut down the entire airport. This is only made worse by already-bad congestion on runways and taxiways.
1:12 jetBlue
I went to this airport and the sheer PAIN we had to go through just to get from one hub to the other.
I've been gathering that MCO has been having some fairly serious issues lately. Sorry to hear that!
nah, its ok, I knew the layout. just got confused because of the security reclearing.
2:58 Southwest
I have a question when flying out of MCO on Southwest once I get my boarding pass where is that security location from there am I going to get lost I'm flying alone
You'll start at the ticket desk on Level 3, on the far east side (the far end of the drop-off point for that terminal from the road.) After you get your boarding pass from the desk or kiosk, head to the right. You'll take the first left you can, just past the Southwest counters, and you'll emerge into the East Atrium. The Atrium should look a lot like 04:29 in the video. Turn left from here and clear security. Once you're on the other side of security, you might have to choose to take trains on the right or left, seen in 03:35 from above. Take the left set of trains to Terminal 2. This terminal contains all Southwest flights!
I live here, MCO is my home airport. You may need to update the video, as Disney’s Magical express has been discontinued. Also, it’s easier than you explained. If your airline arrives on the A concourse, your bags will be on the A concourse. If you arrive on B, bags will be on the B side. I’ve lived here 26 years, and have never heard it described any other way.
This video was recorded nearly 3 years ago, before the pandemic, and indeed, the Magical Express is gone. What a shame!
I appreciate the feedback. There's a chance I'll be back this direction within the next few months to check out MCO's new terminal. If I do, then I'll be making an updated video!
@@MilesByFoot that’s fine. I figured so. Having been a mgr at a corporate travel office, my fear is someone would fly in then go for your neck when they see no Disney Express! Travelers can be so literal! Having been to 5 continents, 2 dozen Caribbean Islands, and bring a total, complete travel geek, nerd, weirdo, I’ve learned to expect the unexpected and things may not be as you wished or thought! Sorry, should be “baby sitting” you, just don’t want any wrath coming your way! Keep on posting. I’ll keep watching!
Please respond because I would appreciate that:
Airside 2 served a discontinued airline, can you guess what it was?
Slightly confused last time we went to Orlando and we didn’t have to go to security cause we transited from London to Canada and then Orlando , but this time we are going direct so do we go through security first and then get the train to baggage thanks
Yes, you will go through customs and security pretty much immediately upon landing. If you have another connecting flight in the U.S., you will need to reclear security. Otherwise, you can generally leave the airport after clearing customs and collecting your bags.
....and!.....😃
It's important to note that all rental cars are currently on the A side until traffic picks back up
Wonderful update; thanks!
Hello everyone I'm Susan an I am getting ready to travel soon to California very soon.
One of the best airports I have ever flown into. Since 2012 Frontier Airlines offers nonstop service to MCO from my hometown of Trenton New Jersey so I don't have to fight the hassle of Newark Liberty, or Philadelphia to get a flight to Central Florida, and Walt Disney World.
Convenient! Yes, Trenton seems like it'd be much more convenient, regardless of where in NJ you live.

I want to go on June 12 2021
I hope that'll be possible!
