Orlando Int'l Airport for 24+ yrs Review

Been here three times in 2006
Once in 2010
Four times in 2016.

;)

The security checkpoint is trash. 5:30 in the morning and its a 20 minute wait to get through...

I rented a car online, fully paid already . They did know my age before arriving at dollar car rental and didnt added any cost until i got here. They stripped my travel money because i was under 25 . 230 dollars less for my vacation because off it. It ruined my vacation. Cant you drive because you are 22 years old ?

Everything was going good. I landed in Ohio, and I was ready to get my suitcase. Apparently Orlando airport forgot to put my suitcase on the plane!! Now I do not have and of my asthma or allergy medicine! Very disappointed!!

Woman checking boarding pass at security area was incredibly nasty, Philly staff were much friendlier at explaining things. Not everyone is a frequent flyer and knows all aspects of getting through the lines. It just makes flying much more stressful.

Compared to most other airports I have been through, Orlando is near the top in pretty much every way it can be measured. It is well laid out and movement through the airport is pretty efficient. There are a great many food options in the airport area outside the security area. Once you have gone through security, food options are a little less but still pretty good. This is a very busy airport and many people who go through her are not experienced travellers. At times, the airport can be clogged with people who just need a little help or information.

Massive airport, but very clean and not too overcrowded, though it is packed.

Parking is easy but $12 for three hours is atrocious.

I gave Orlando international Airport 3 stars because i feel like they should put more food stores passed security. They had a lot of food stores before security that should be the other way around.

Needs more clear signs for directions to different areas.

Recently I flew home to Georgia from MCO. i was on the plane when i realized I had left my laptop in security. As soon as i landed i i contact them via email. within an hour they called me and had found my laptop. it was shipped back to me the following monday. i am very pleased with how quickly they responded to me and helped to get my laptop back to me very quickly. thank you MCO!!

Always nice sunny and clean in here. Kinda sad a few stores and restaurants are closed

You can't complain about MCO until you've traveled to LAX! I will never look my gift horse in the mouth again lol.

It is nice when the Wi-Fi connects the minute you're in

This was me and my family first time at Orlando International Airport and when we got to the airport to return home it was very busy. I feel their security check in process is completely unorganized and confusing. For one their several security personal yelling on what to remove and what not to remove. Also they kept yelling for people to keep moving and stated not to remove your shoes, but when we checked in the station before getting in the line to be searched we were instructed to take off our shoes. As they are yelling for people to keep it moving they are also instructing this to children. I feel that you should at least allow the parent to get there stuff in a bin to be scanned before you instruct there children to keep moving. The thing that really made me upset was as I am putting my items in a bin to get scanned the security guy is stating to keep it moving and when I looked my son went through the medal detector which went off and he was sending him back through. I advised the security guy that he can not go through the medal detector because he has a pacemaker and I had his medical card. He shrugged his shoulders and said he already went through. I'm thinking to myself really. So I advised him again that he can not go through and pulled my son to the side. Then another security guard walks up and as he was going to instruct my son to go through I stopped him and advised him he can't go through the medical detector. They appeared irritated it seemed and I noticed that everyone was going through medal detectors they didn't seem to be using the machine you stand in and it scans you. In all my years of flying this has been the worst airport to me. I recommend that they go to Dallas Love Field and shadow there security department because they have it more together.

For me, this airport is like being in my house, it feels like family and the people are much friendlier than another airport.

Lines are so long. Takes HOURS to get through security. Hate this airport... But have to use it often.

One of the best airports in the east coast, friendly and efficient staff at your service always.

If you have a layover past 10:30 & you got kids. Pack some food/snack. Nothing is open & they don't got no vending machines.

The sinage is horrible at this airport. The rental car return is hardly marked, leaving me questioning where it was until I was right there. Once the car was returned it was unclear whether I was headed to check in for terminal A and B or terminal A only. Once in the terminal trying to locate where my airline check in was, was once again poorly marked. After check in getting in the tram which did not identify where it was going once again made me unsure I was headed the right direction.....or maybd I'm just lost

Clean, lots of charging ports, plenty of food options. Everyone wearing masks.

MCO is seemingly doing their best to continue operating as close to normal during very abnormal times. That's tough to do. Food and beverage options are very limited. Security checkpoints may now take some extra time, but with far fewer flying passengers, it is still OK overall. During my time there, cleaning was going on in a very positive way. That was encouraging to see.

Allow extra time for departures here - Security lines are long!

Airport and TSA flow pretty smooth. Problem with MCO is traffic and the people who are suppose to not allow waiting in LOADING ONLY zones. It's not a lack of accommodations for waiting as there are cell phone lots. It's a problem of lack of effort or concern by the people hired to tell people not to wait there. There are cell phone lots to wait on passengers arriving. I finally got tired of them not moving people out who were on their phones waiting on passengers I walked over and interrupted their conversation to ask them to move people along so my ride could get in to me. Long standing issue with MCO as I understand. Not a Great way to welcome visitors and residents to Orlando.

Good service good facility very friendly people working there

Clean , interesting and lacking signage to the rental car shuttles.

Rental car is hard to get to.. terminals are confusing...

Always a well run airport, but I was particularly impressed with the current social distancing measures. This is a good airport if you're concerned about your health during this pandemic!

Went to the MCO Club and had to go thru security again because security gave me the wrong directions. Information Desk person was useless and security personnel are too busy bulls__ting with other people that they don't even notice me passing by. Do nothing people not doing their jobs.

I traveled through this airport 2 years ago. It was under major construction then, so I m bummed that after all the chaos, it still has few food options and certainly no friendly social environment. This is an airport I d dread arriving early to (my current circumstance).

The free WiFi is nice, but your options for getting work done are merely a seat at the gate.

For being a hub of entertainment, I would expect a wine/food bar, a Starbucks, or at least some appetizing veg-friendly and gluten-free options in their CIBO grab-and-go stations (current options: grapes, bananas, water).

Bougie requests perhaps, but a few of these comforts are a real difference maker - especially when traveling for work.

I come when I came from Boston by taking the Blue Line train and come back to Boston to do Green Line.

All was great but finding the car rental area was a pain in the rear! An employee told us the wrong floor! Signs are confusing.

Was able to get to my destination quick and smoothly

Fantastic airport grade 1000 structure ready for everything comfortable and very functional

This airport has the worst TSA in the USA. For some reason there are people working there who have no business being in this kind of service.
There is Nothing that these people try do do to assist you as a passenger and due to slow service and endless lines you are about to miss your flight. Their answer was you have to ask the person in front of you if you can go before them....but there were like 1000 people ahead of me after standing in the line for about 45 minutes and my flight leaving in 30 minutes....
This airport is dis organized. If I could have I would have given them a minus star but unfortunately it was not available.

Here waiting for the flight since an hour was delayed

Do not bother being pre tsa in this airport. Both lines move just as fast and only difference is you get to keep your shoes on. As always shopping and food in airports is ridiculously priced. Waiting seats are ok if you only wait about 20 minutes for your plane. Charging ports at many of the waiting area and seats is a plus.

No real food options. Just gross mall style and a Ruby Tuesday. Getting to park the rental took for ever and was unclear of where to go for Hertz.

love how fast the lines move through security the last time we were there

Hated the long tsa lines. Very poor with the flow of passengers. But besides that, the airport is nice, but it could be a lot better

I must say that this is by far the best airport my husband & I have flown into.. Thank you MCO staff!

Worst experience ever. No luggage helpers anywhere to be found. Monorail has only one in service for the supposed upgrade. We rode on the supposedly upgraded model and if you arent over 68 inches tall you can't reach anything to hold on to. This has becone the worst airport when it used to be pretty good. One star because I can't give zero and I guess they get a touch of credit that my flight landed safely.

Very good with the upgrades and fast lines. Happy Happy.

Security was easy to get through. They are handling the situation very carefully.

I landed here and like this airport for its many shops and clearly marked signs.

Super clean traveller friendly airport . It is easy to get navigate through. Everything is pretty organized and signs are very clear.

Always efficient staff. They're handling Covid protocol best they can.

Big with lots of shops and food I didn't mind my layover here at all

I would really like to give 5 stars, but one TSA agent screamed at me until I was in tears because I tried to put my bag in a tub instead of directly on the belt on my way through security. It s 6:30 in the morning and my day is ruined. Do better TSA. I even got complimented in line beforehand because I was so smiley . Your job is to look for potential threats, not berate a 24 year old girl in front of 200 people.

Easy when I dropped my son off curbside for his flight to Dallas Texas. Great when I had to return to pick him up six days later from his business trip. Easy peasy. No Hassel at all.

An aggressive skycap would not go away, pressuring me to let him take my bags. He made me feel extremely rushed, making me forget to zip tie the zippers on my checked luggage which he dumped at the first most crowded Southwest baggage check in machine. Southwest turned out to be just inside the terminal from the elevator. He then balked at giving me $5 change for my ten as I said I wanted while still at the Budget rental return on the second level of the garage since I only wanted help getting to the first level.

There are so many things wrong with this airport. The icing on the cake is the clean bathrooms by gate 12. It s 4AM and females bathroom trash has been taken out and gives the impression of clean facilities. Toilet lids are up like they have been cleaned but there is pee, pubic hair, poop, unknown black stuff all over the bottom of the toilet lids (have to touch to pull down) and rim of the toilet bowl. Clearly they have not been cleaned. Carpets have chips, snacks and just trash all over the floors. I understand working here must be hard, especially dealing with so many people in a short amount of time. But come on there is a down time when no one is here, clean it before the first flights go out. TSA here clearly hate their jobs and helping smooth the process is definitely not something they are interested in. They are all pissy at 3AM, hate to see them at the end of a shift.

One of the worst airports I've had to navigate in about a decade! Everything seems to be very impractically located. Not much is quick & easy with MCO. Arrive extremely EARLY!!!

Organized and functional. Boarding security is always chaotic.

I haven t been here in 6 years and when I returned this past weekend, I was not impressed. It is hectic trying to get pass security check (why does several lines merge into one)? Then the restrooms are ridiculous...you all don t think it s time to add at least 10 stalls to each one? How do you have 5 stalls and they all don t work? Talk about you can miss your plane if you have to use the restroom.

People that work here should really improve their English. Sometimes it s impossible to understand what they are saying.. is that too much to ask?

This is one of my favorite airports since the availability and the diverse selection of food is great .

Sensational, very organized, free wifi in all points of the airport

Security can be more efficient at most times and airside 3 ( the one with gates 30-59) needs more shops

Airlines and cruise companies are taking precautions as Hurricane Dorian approaches the southeastern United States, where it is expected to arrive as a major hurricane.
Make changes to your flight tickets or cancel your tickets as per your safety.

If your flight is after after 11:30 pm you no options of drinks of food in the gates. Security don t let you bringing in (the drinks, for security reasons), all the stores are closed and not even a vending machine that sells drinks or food. Really not a good service in the late night flights.

Airport is great. Economy car rental rips everyone off. You should not allow them to operate through your airport. Ruined the whole experience. My $40 a day car rental costs me over $200 day...

Relatively quick. Has that tram to get between terminals.

People are laying on the ground and sitting in the main walkway as there is not enough seating for each gate. The food is terrible and the bathrooms have long lines.

As far as airports go not bad. Pretty easy to navigate cool shops.

Although it is a large airport. It was smooth from bag check to tsa to boarding. It was also quite clean. Awesome job.

Worst airport airport to fly out of. The security lines are a big mob scene that funnels eventually into lines. Worst airport I've ever been to.

Busy, somewhat tired airport. The only hub for restaurants is shared by all gates, so the lineup for food and coffee can be quite long. Also, the shops close down at 9pm sharp, so plan accordingly if you have a late or delayed flight. Each seat has power underneath for phone charging, a nice bonus.

So badly organised, difficult to navigate, awful sign posting, bad queuing system and unhelpful staff.

Lots of sanitizing stations and great food choices.
