There is a way - easy but slow - to get to Orlando Airport from The Villages without driving on a turnpike or highway.

You *never* need to turn off once you are on Hwy 441, though you watch for a fork. You go straight to the airport - no turns to watch for, just one fork in the road to watch for.

Take 441 until you are south of Apopka - take the left fork, which goes uphill. This is highway 436 - it is labeled before the fork. Hwy 436 will take you straight to Orlando Airport.

(It is assumed you will stay on 441 at the point Hwy 27 forks off to the right in Leesburg.)

I am in the north Villages so this is almost 2 hours for me, but the extra 45 minutes or so can save a lot of money on car services. Few live as far north as I do, so the time will be less for them.

I promise this is an easy route where you only have to take the one fork and you go straight to the airport.
