However, if your connection involves moving between different airsides or terminals\u2014especially to or from Terminal C\u2014allow at least 90 minutes to two hours to account for transit times and potentially long security queues. For international arrivals, the process depends on the terminal. In both cases, if you have an onward connection, you must clear U. For high-speed rail access to South Florida, the Brightline station is located at the Train Station complex connected to Terminal C.\n\nWhile Terminals A and B are two sides of the same central building, Terminal C is located to the south and is accessed via the automated Terminal Link (APM) train or a 24/7 shuttle bus. In Terminal C, you will retrieve your checked bags *before* proceeding to Passport Control. S. Customs, drop your bags at the 'Baggage Re-check' counter, and re-clear TSA security. Public Lynx buses (Route 11 or 51) provide economical links to downtown for $2. 00.\n\nFor domestic-to-domestic transfers within the same airside (e. g., within Airside 1 or 3), a connection time of 45 minutes is typically sufficient. In Terminals A and B (typically Airside 4), you clear immigration first, then collect your bags. Ground transportation to central Orlando is best handled by official taxis (Level 1) or ride-sharing apps like Uber and Lyft, which have designated pickup zones on Level 2 of Terminals A/B and Levels 1 or 6 of Terminal C. Arriving at the airport three hours before departure is highly recommended during peak school holiday periods when security wait times can be significant.", "country": "United States of America", "flag_url": "https://flagcdn.com/w320/us.png", "flight_search_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=USD", "frequent_traveler_tip": [ "All airsides are connected airside - no need to re-clear security.", "The Delta lounge has excellent food options available.", "Check your flight status before leaving for the airport.", "Allow extra time during peak travel periods at this airport.", "Keep important documents easily accessible at this airport." ], "global_map_link": "https://www.google.com/maps?q=Orlando+International+Airport", "google_maps_reviews": { "rating": 0.0, "recent_reviews": [], "total_reviews": 0 }, "hotel_affiliate_link": "https://book.beatthatflight.com.au/?currency=USD", "iataCode": "MCO", "icao": "KMCO", "international": true, "last_modified": "June 2026", "last_updated": "2026-03-29", "latitude": 28.4312, "layover_planner_info": "MCO offers excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment options for families visiting theme parks.", "longitude": -81.3081, "mct_domestic_to_domestic": 45, "mct_domestic_to_international": 90, "mct_interline": 120, "mct_international_to_domestic": 90, "mct_international_to_international": 90, "missed_connection_help": "Contact Southwest Airlines (primary carrier) or your specific airline.", "name": "Orlando International Airport", "region": "North America", "related_airports": [ { "code": "MIA", "name": "Miami International Airport" }, { "code": "ZPH", "name": "Zephyrhills Municipal Airport" }, { "code": "AVO", "name": "Avon Park Executive Airport" }, { "code": "DAB", "name": "Daytona Beach International Airport" }, { "code": "ISM", "name": "Kissimmee Gateway Airport" }, { "code": "ORL", "name": "Orlando Executive Airport" } ], "terminal_info": "Orlando International Airport uses a landside terminal divided into Terminals A and B (north complex) with four satellite concourses (Airside 1\u20134), plus the newer Terminal C (south complex). Terminals A and B share the same central building with separate check-in rows on opposite sides; passengers then ride short automated people movers to their assigned airside, with travel times of 3\u20135 minutes once on the tram platform. Terminal C is a standalone structure linked by an automated people mover from the Train Station/Terminal C garage to the main terminal curb in roughly 5 minutes. There is no airside connection between the north (A/B) airsides and Terminal C, so allow extra time if your itinerary mixes those facilities.\n\nWalking inside the north terminal from security to the tram platform takes about 5\u20138 minutes depending on checkpoint lines, and gate walks within each airside are modest\u2014generally under 7 minutes end to end. Transfers between Airside 1/3 (Terminal A) and Airside 2/4 (Terminal B) require exiting to the main terminal and re-clearing security; the landside walk between A and B ticketing areas is about 6\u201310 minutes via Level 3. Terminal C\u2019s gate areas span two piers connected by moving walkways; walking from the checkpoint to the farthest C gates averages 8\u201312 minutes.\n\nSecurity checkpoints are located landside on Level 3 for Terminals A and B, feeding to their respective tram stations, while Terminal C has a central checkpoint on Level 2. Morning departures to the Northeast and Midwest (06:00\u201309:00) and evening international bank (16:00\u201319:00) can push waits to 25\u201340 minutes; mid-day averages hover around 15\u201320 minutes. TSA PreCheck lanes operate in both the A and B checkpoints, and CLEAR kiosks with PreCheck exist on each side. International arrivals for the north complex use the Federal Inspection Station attached to Airside 4 (Gates 70\u2013129), where passengers proceed through passport control before re-claiming bags and taking the tram back to the main terminal. Terminal C hosts its own U.S. Customs and Border Protection hall with biometric kiosks and separate re-check desks for onward connections.\n\nAmenities in the main terminal include a large central food court on Level 3 with chains like Chick-fil-A and Bahama Breeze, plus retail clusters by the APM stations; each airside adds coffee bars, grab-and-go markets, and Disney/Universal/SeaWorld stores geared to leisure travelers. Terminal C offers newer dining such as Sunshine Diner by Chef Art Smith and Wine Bar George, along with duty-free and tech shops near the C240 pier junction. Lounges include the Club MCO in Airside 1 and Airside 4, Delta Sky Club in Airside 4, and an American Airlines Admirals Club in Airside 3; Terminal C houses a Plaza Premium Lounge near Gate C230.\n\nAccessibility provisions feature step-free routes from parking and rail links (SunRail/ Brightline) via elevators, adult changing tables in select restrooms, and visual paging. Families can find nursing rooms on Level 3 of both Terminal A and B near the food court, as well as inside Terminal C near Gate C230; children\u2019s play areas are located in Airside 1 and Airside 3. Pet relief areas sit landside on Level 1 by each terminal side and airside near Gates 23, 59, 80, and C242.", "terminal_map_url": "https://www.orlandoairports.net/terminal-maps" }
