About Orlando International Airport

Orlando International Airport (MCO) serves Orlando and Central Florida, the gateway to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, International Drive and the Space Coast. It sits about 6 miles (10 km) southeast of downtown Orlando and is the busiest airport in Florida, with about 57.7 million passengers in 2025.

Southwest is the largest airline, and MCO is also an operating base for Frontier and Breeze and a focus city for JetBlue. American, Delta, United, Alaska, Air Canada, WestJet and many airlines from Latin America and Europe also fly here.

Terminals A and B share one main building on the north side of the airfield, with four airside concourses reached by Gate Link trains. Terminal C, opened in 2022 on the south side, serves JetBlue and international flights by foreign airlines, and is linked to Terminals A and B by the Terminal Link train. The Hyatt Regency hotel is inside the main terminal.

The Brightline station, next to Terminal C, has trains to West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Most travelers continue by road to the theme parks and resorts.

Arrival tips for Orlando International Airport

Check which terminal you land at: Terminal A, B or C. Terminals A and B share the main north building; Terminal C is a separate building on the south side, linked by the Terminal Link train.

In Terminals A and B, your plane arrives at an airside concourse; take the Gate Link train to the main terminal for baggage claim. If you arrive on an international flight, you clear US Customs and Border Protection first, then collect your bags. If you are eligible, Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line.

Domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim in their terminal.

Follow the signs for ground transportation and ride-app pickups. If your driver is meeting you, confirm whether it is at Terminal A, B or C, since the north and south buildings are far apart. The Brightline station is next to Terminal C.
