The terminals at Orlando Airport
Orlando International Airport has Terminals A, B and C, and a train station. The train station is on Level 3 of the central terminal, with the link to Terminal A and B, and on Level 5 the access to Terminal C, to the parking garage C and to the on-airport rental car agencies.
The airport asks you to arrive at the security checkpoint 2 hours before departure, because the wait times fluctuate quickly.
Getting to and from Orlando Airport
The train station links Terminal A and B with Terminal C, with the parking garage and the on-airport rental car agencies, and the Brightline service is also in the station. The Lynx city bus stops at Terminal A, and both Terminals A/B and C have on-airport rental car agencies.
What happens when you arrive at MCO
Keep your passport and any form you filled in on the plane with you the whole way, from the aircraft door to the exit.
The airport publishes the security wait times and the parking availability for each garage, so you can see how busy it is before you leave for it.
