Why a site about Orlando Airport (and parking, at that)?
Ground Transportation at Orlando International Airport
Would someone move to a city because of its airport? I did.
When my company transferred me to Florida in 1999, I knew I would be traveling a lot, and one of the main reasons I chose to live in Orlando was the airport.
Take it from this frequent traveler; Orlando is one of the best. It’s easy to find your way around, and the designers have done a great job of reducing your time in the airport to a minimum. It has a great layout, fast trains to get you from the plane to the baggage area, and is probably the cleanest airport you will ever see.
TIP: I’m not the only fan of MCO (the real airport code for what locals call O.I.A.) In fact, it was just ranked #1 in passenger satisfaction among large airports by J.D. Power.
While Orlando is a small city, MCO was designed to handle the 30+ million passengers visiting Disneyworld and other local attractions every year. In other words, this airport is efficient.
Actually, it is so efficient, it can be a little intimidating. In the areas where people are dropped off, and especially in the Ground Transportation section at the bottom of the airport, people move quickly.
But don’t worry. In this website, we provide lots of tips, and you’ll be an expert in no time. So let’s get going. We’ll assume you have just arrived in “The City Beautiful”, and start by telling you how to get away from the airport. Later, we’ll talk about getting back so you can catch your flight home.
