Travelers are advised to contact their airlines and rental car companies directly for individual flight and rental car information. Vehicles left in the garage can be picked up as garages are open and operational.

We hope all those affected by this inclement weather have remained safe.

Simply put, anyone arriving to the Orlando area domestically can do so after 8 pm tonight, November 10. International flights and departures will need to wait until tomorrow when the airport fully reopens.

Be sure to give yourself plenty of travel time! It was very busy when I (Monica) left Orlando in the early morning hours yesterday. It will definitely be crowded with the influx of travelers.

We wish you safe travels as you arrive or depart the Orlando International Airport.
