Orlando International Airport makes it easier to travel now

Because of the large number of travelers going through the Orlando International Airport this week, see what’s changed to make things easier.

Orlando International Airport

It is no secret that Orlando International Airport (also known as MCO) has only gotten busier over the past few years. This year it was named one of the 10 busiest airports in the United States.

And it makes total sense! With Disney World, Universal, Legoland, Sea World, and so many other theme parks and attractions, millions of people fly in and out of the airport every year.

With growing demand came a recent airport expansion. Terminal C boasts international gates as well as shopping and dining opportunities. It is definitely a bustling airport, and it will only be busier over the holiday weekend.

Holiday Travelers

The airport recently made projections for travelers coming in and out. Overall, more than 1.1 million travelers will move through the Orlando International Airport during the 7-day travel period. Take a look at the 5 busiest travel days at MCO HERE.

While TSA Pre-Check is an excellent program for frequent flyers, there is a new option available to travelers flying out of Orlando International Airport (MCO). Reserve is free and does not require the extensive background checks and other documentation required by TSA Pre-Check and CLEAR.

Making Travel Easier

To try and make things easier for over one million MCO travelers over the next week, airport officials announced opening a new parking lot. This West Park Place parking lot provides an additional 3,100 parking spaces. You can check MCO’s website to see the latest updates on parking information.

This week, the Orlando International Airport is opening the West Park Place parking lot providing an additional 3,100 parking spaces.
