It happens to be my favorite airport, it's clean, spacious, and has a lot to offer. I like how they have the terminals on separate "islands". They each have their own tramway from the main lobby to the terminal. It has a lot to offer for stores and food. Everything is great. Definitely a great start or finish to any Orlando trip.
I had a good experience with this airport. Even though they are doing construction, the roads to get to your terminal are logical and easy to navigate. I like the decorations that they have at this airport. The Christmas trees at all the terminals are a nice touch. At JetBlue, my check in process was quick and easy. Also, security was fairly fast as well. I think the only gripe was that the restroom could have been cleaner and the train to get to our gate took a long time to arrive. Otherwise, I would definitely fly through here again.
Arriving and departing from MCO is pretty efficient. The rental car return process is very fast and well handled. Decent variety of shops at the various terminals for food while you're waiting at the gate. Signage when arriving and departing on the highways is pretty clear as long as you're paying attention. Even if you miss your turn you can go around the ring road again to hit your exit.
I am in at least 20 different airports every year so I have a good taste of what there is across the USA. I would rank Orlando near the top. It was clean, security was quick and easy to navigate. Their pick up location for all the shuttles and what not was very well designed and efficient. I am not sure why more airports don't copy what MCO does. I always enjoy flying in and out of Orlando.
I didn't think you could make an airport worse than LAX, but here it is - Orlando. A block long line of people waiting to take a tram after getting off the plane because they send the bags to Terminal A when your plane lands at Terminal B. Signs pointing to blank walls, saying that's the way to baggage claim. Maybe if I broke through the wall? No help at all from the people who work there. Today I'm going back home, and it's just as bad leaving at 4AM as it is arriving at 9PM. No signs, or contradictory signs. No indication if I'm in the right place or not. The bright spot was 1 airport employee who was friendly, if not so helpful. The dark spot is that my flight information says Terminal A, but I'm assured my flight will land at Terminal B. But not really Terminal B, they just call it that because no one knows why. But definitely not Terminal A. Or at least that's what I'm told. Will my flight leave from here? No idea.
Line to security stretched for approx. two city blocks before even entering what's supposed to be the actual queue. No signage telling us there was premier access entry, only happened to hear an agent mention it while walking by. Didn't matter though, still missed my flight. There's systematic problems when you're fully staffed and it still takes over an hour to get through security at 5am. Oh, and the bathrooms are a mess. Get it together Orlando! You receive a lot of foreign visitors and this is a poor representation of our country.
Waiting for 20 minutes in same spot. No reason for this. Columbus Ohio airport was a million times better than this. Why so crappy screening? Took 10 min in Columbus and it was packed. Needs fixed or no Disney World
Security is a nightmare, though the staff tries. Please come an hour early. Other than that, a lovely airport with nice trains between terminals and enough shopping to while away some time. Good hassle free WiFi is everywhere. Try lingering in the rotunda.
Wonderful selection of stores and restaurants, and charging ports (both USB and normal outlets) next to every single seat! Plenty of security checkpoint lanes. Filtered water refill stations, too. Comfortable temperature. Great experience.
Modern airport with "tropical" architecture. Modern facilities. Integrated with a big car rental aisles with offices for most companies and a side parking lot for picking up and leaving the cars off. TSA area may be not as big needed for higher demand or peaks hours.
The security is very efficient. The signs surrounding and in the airport are accurate and helpful. The shops are nicely maintained and reasonable pricing. There is natural light and comfortable seating.
A lovely airport. Good security and a safe feeling which is always nice. Friendly staff willing to help and clean public areas. Loads to see and do while waiting with reasonable prices restaurants and shops. Would fly here happily again.
I have been in more than my share of airports and I have to say I really like this one. The crowds and lines do get annoying - BUT - it's Orlando and a massive tourist trap haha. So all in all they handle it all pretty well. If you have a long wait the shop selection is great, it is very easy to navigate, and overall a pleasant experience.
This is a great international airport located in Central Orlando. It's located about two miles from State Road 528 and State Road 417, and a couple of miles from the Florida Turnpike which connects Miami with Tallahassee and Interstate 4 which connects Tampa with Daytona Beach. The airport is wheelchair accessible all around the building since it has lifts (elevators) and accessible entrances. The staff are very polite and kind, and the car rental here has great service, as well as amazing cars. Security is great and there is a tram connecting the terminals to the gates to board planes.
I feel safe and love the variety of choices to relax while waiting or leaving.
If your property is misplaced or lost.
The security is 100% It will be found. I give them Credit ..It is not a easy job. I'm grateful for they returned my lost bag. Sentimental bag. It was my fault. But they brought me happiness. Thanks Peace
