Just flew into Orlando from Boston yesterday. My flight was terrible. Crying and unruly kids everywhere. One kid yelled and screamed on the whole flight except for maybe one hour. All to see the mouse. I’m surprised people near him didn’t go berserk. Landed in the new terminal C. Will never understand why they didn’t put any walking escalators. It’s a hike to. baggage claim. Thinking about using Tampa in the future but after reading about traffic there not sure. Is it as bad as it sounds?

Very disappointing experience- so sorry. I parked in the North last Thursday to go to Chicago. I was in the back in E lot and worried I wouldn’t find a spot there. I have been using North frequently and this is the first time I had to go past C. Not sure what’s going on.

Sorry to hear about your nightmare MCO experience. I flew Tampa to MD in December and the Southwest fight was actually cheaper and had better times. The drive to Tampa is 30 min longer and 295 is nearly always bumper-to-bumper for the last few miles. Tampa parking was convenient even though the ramp is under construction.

Using them, I make a reservation with Park’N’Go and pay in advance. It’s about $7 a day plus taxes, so it comes out to about $10 a day. The van picks me up at my car and drops me off at my car. The driver has access to airport roads that get me to where I need to go much faster. I never check luggage. I have TSA PreChek, which saves a lot of time in security lines. (I even have Clear, which saves even more time, but it’s expensive.) Waiting for the van to take me back to the parking area may take 15 minutes or even more, but it beats a big bus that may drop you off far from your car and waiting 40 minutes to get into the lot. |

OMG - what a fricking hassle - flying aint what it use to be - took the autotrain from Lorton VA to Sanford Fl for my lifestyle visit - expensive and took 17 hours - but the benefit was bypassing all that bag drag bs and having my car was nice - oh, also the flatiron steak was pretty good too!

Have used MCO for many years back and forth to UK.
Orlando not our favorite airport by any means, but convenient, and flight prices are a lot cheaper to Orlando than into Tampa from UK. Plus traffic out of Tampa due to the sheer volume and seemingly perpetual roadworks, can be a nightmare if you hit town at wrong time. We found a one way car rental from TV very convenient. Drop it off and terminal just a short walk over road to terminals. We have also used Village Transport and Groome without a problem. Prefer one way car rental though going to airport, as you are then more in control of timing. |

Authorities at Orlando International Airport are struggling to deal with rising numbers of homeless people arriving at the airport, seeking the air conditioning, restrooms and other amenities offered to passengers and patrons. This year, 50 million passengers will board flights or land at Orlando International Airport, spending little time in the terminal. But others are making their airport their "home." They're people who live on the streets of Central Florida, and instead of seeking shelters, they try to blend in with travelers." Etc. (wesh dot com. Greg Fox, Nov. 14, 2019) Over three years old but probably still accurate. |

Orlando Airport Parking from $3.95. Compare MCO parking lots, reserve and save big.
The Marriott handles airlines crew so pickup is usually timely. Parkngo has been good too |
