Orlando Int'l Airport for 24+ yrs Review

One of the worst airports I've ever flow in and out of. Huge line ups leaving for flights, last time I flew into the airport it took me 3 hours to get through customs and pick up my car rental and leave the airport. I have flown through many airports and never have I stood in such long line ups. Come on customs and border people get better organised. I also think that they need to have better airside. They really need to look at other airports and get better ideas on how to run things and better options airside..

Worst line organizing and zipper merge if lines does not work. This is truly the worst airport security ever. Clear and pre check won't even help as they are filtered in the masses early on in the chaotic throw up of confused line goers.

Gorgeous airport, 2 terminals and they are building a new one! love the train

Clean and friendly. We got through security very quickly and many places to eat

The meeting area between terminal A and B has good shopping. If you are heading to Disney world you can pick up magic bands at the Disney store there.

Overall good experience. Should have a 24 hour fast food at terminals, especially for those that travel late at night or early morning. TSA agent's extremely rude. Don't ask any questions, they get upset for disturbing them. Can't even reply a Good Morning back, especially those working at the counter.

Terrible in terms of cbp assistance. 4 officers for over 450 passengers and crew. Waited over 2 overs for immigration.. I more tiring than a 14 hour flight.. I

Not a bad airport but expect slow security. Lots of places to eat and shop.

Wow, great Airport and the pool stop over was awesome.

Very easy to get in and out of, and a nice layout too. Great airport.

Watch out for the Manchu Wok restaurant at United and American gates the cashier try to rip me off he's added additional charged to my card and when I asked for itemizes receipts and he's stated since this is more than three hours therefore he can't provide me the receipt. imagine people that have 1 hours or less at the airport and try to get a quick bite to eat how can you confront this crook and how many times he has been doing this. his name is 1019 Luis R

Busy airport, but has some nice restaurants and stores. Be prepared to take a tram to your gate.

Great workers. But this airport is just horrible. The building looks like it's just being build. Construction in the building, roads, parking lot. The builds are spread out. God where am. If you ever been to Tampa airport you notice everything's together in one building. Making it easier and more of a fun time. Orlando was a nightmare. How do I get into the Airport? Where is the Parking? Why are there 3 parking Lots? Why am I getting rained on in the parking lot? Why is the ceiling not finish? Do you guys have a Disney map so I know where I am?

No problem from me but Chinese food was cold and nasty

Clean, friendly, bathrooms a plenty, a lot of seats in waiting areas with charging stations and wifi, baggage claim is quick to get to, Disney and Universe stores, big aquarium, massage chairs, great food, even has a hotel.

Departure and arrival screens both posted in correct gate. When I asked confirmation on a flight to ohare - the airline assistant that was scanning the boarding passes said why are you asking me? ....maybe it s because u work there?...ur job is to help, assist, and educate passengers (among other things). If a paying customer asks for clarification - just answer it politely. Awful service

Orlando has plenty of cake cake cake (Beyonce voice)

Super confusing airport and I spent a lot of time in airports!

American could/should spend some effort and a few dollars on upkeep for terminals 50-59 and provide some working toilets. Of the three I tried to use in this terminal 4 stalls zero urinals in service. This place services the hordes coming and leaving Disney and Universal. Pee before coming to the airport.

Very clean and well organized establishment. Friendly staff with food and souvenir options available. Manageable COVID guidelines.

Employees who check in luggage, very helpful, and cooperative. TSA needs help. Too dam slow and big reason for me, and several others missing their flight. Appreciate arrangement made to get me home on another flight, but what upset me the most, was the poor, and careless attitude of the lady employee dressed in blue, sitting behind the bourding counter stuffing her face with peanuts, making no attempts to check with someone and try to get us on the plane while the boarding tunnel was still attached.

Really too good , Airport staff very easy to understand guest feelings,they all are very helpfull.

Excelent. 1/3of the crow gone.
I was off the plane and on through baggage clain in 35 min.

I really love MCO!! If you have a long layover it's the place to be!

Wow. Not a good airport for business travelers. Long lines. No WiFi service WHATSOEVER in A side. and WHY would you design an airport where connecting on a flight from B terminal to A terminal you need to exit security and then go through security AGAIN!! OMG!!

Huge but efficient, organized both finding your way to the airport and where to go. Has the quickest rental car return to terminal time. Need to open more restaurants and bathrooms can use some work

Flew into Orlando with an elderly, disabled cousin who was using a wheelchair. When we got off the plane the guy pushing the wheelchair said he had to do something and would be back in 3 minutes. 20 minutes later I asked a Southwest Airlines employee for help and was rudely told that I could push her myself. Which I did, but it was a struggle since I m not well myself. When we came back for our return flight the person at the baggage check in called for a person to push my cousin. We waited about 10 minutes, then asked them to call again. They did, but, once again, no one showed up to push the wheelchair. Very poor service Orlando International Airport. I guess you don t care about the disabled and elderly. It s much different at our airport in St. Louis. Much better in St. Louis. You may have the mouse, but you have no consideration for the elderly and disabled.

Security check in takes forever very did organized arrive 2 hours early & still have to rush to my gate , terrible airport will never fly out from here again !

Very nice airport with a good variety of food options. The kids will love the monorail.

Nice and clean airport. Love the tram to terminals.

Everyone was respecting the law of wearing masks, and you had to get tested for covid 3 days before your flight so it made me feel a lot safer

Long security lines but it went fast. Long food lines and took me 45 minutes to get a a cheeseburger. Overall had a good experience there. The car rental companies where all in one which made a long line at pickup. But had fast return.

This is a good size airport and is easy to navigate.

Security clearing took really less time than what I expected. Terminal B but does not have a whole lot of food options but still you can manage to find a good meal.

Its not an airport i would like to go to that often. It looked nice from the outside but when i entered it felt super dated, the only floor that looked modern was the very top floor. There were holes in the ceiling and some closed storefronts as well. It has a very confusing layout alot of twists and turns and the directions aren't clear enough. I give it a star because of Cinnabon...yes....those sticky tender bunz with icing....mmmmm....back to the story....its really hard to get into and when you do you can legit just enter the airport with no securty or nothing i saw people just shopping and leaving the airport as if it was a shopping mall not an airport. A terrorist can legit just go in like nothing if they wanted to. It needs some improvment ....for Orlando you would expect more.

Mostly I wish that the chairs in the open areas were more comfortable, as well as more dimly lit areas for travelers who have longer layovers. There are plenty of shops for purchasing a blanket and some earplugs, though! Also plenty of okay restaurants.

Huge airport with very little signage on where to go, especially since half of the areas are closed. You don't find this out till you're already there.

Not bad as airports go. Places to eat and shop while waiting for your flight.

I had a good experience here. It's clean, friendly, fast, and just an overall good airport. Make sure you know where your terminal is. I had to take a shuttle to my terminal.

So easy to get around this airport even when crowded.

This place is massive. Got to car pick up and everything was waiting for us.

It is a very beautiful airport.
Because it is large, you should check the boarding gate first before going out for souvenirs or shopping.
During the vacation season, there is a long line for luggage inspection, so be careful not to miss it!

The world's longest TSA line in the world starts here. My suggestion to you is to leave about an hour or so earlier than planned just to get through this line. Other than that, it is just a really big major Metropolitan Airport.

Delayed due to lightning, this does not happen in developed countries

Beautiful airport, I was in the domestic flights section. Enough choice for something to eat. And many stores. After security, the offer is a lot less. There is, however, Nathan's Hot Dogs behind the security.

Very quiet this morning. Nobody in TSA pre-check line. People social distancing for the most part.

Generally a very easy airport tho there are backups from time to time. Give yourself the allotted three hours for international and two for domestic

This airport is clean and has two terminals, the routes are a bit confusing.

There's hardly any outlets to charge your phone... Very small variety of restaurants and stores in the terminal. One restaurant was cash only... so Orland int. Airport pretty much sucks

At the entrance there's some hand sanitizer stations available but it becomes more scarce the closer you get to your gate. Some empty at the restaurants.

That was very nice place and very easy to find the gates as well.

Nice airport. But if you have to transfer at atlanta, you need at least two hours. Otherwise you will miss you connecting flight due to the lines for security and customs.

World class airport! I wish to visit it again when this pandemic ends soon. Anyway please watch and subscribe my youtube channel (bornok katok) my way of beating Covid, mostly about fishing. Thank you so much

Excellent and I have traveled several times and everything is divine, I have never had problems and everything is fast ..

Everyone was good, keeping their distance and wearing face masks.

Restaurants and other services are fine maybe even good. Security is a complete disaster on the other hand. I can only speak for side A. I was at the airport an hour and a half before the flight and missed mine. The security line took about an hour on a Monday afternoon. Worse, with all lines full and about 500 people waiting, they closed down security lines. Horribly mismanaged, likely understaffed. I came back the next morning at 4:30 when the checkpoint opened and again it took an hour to get through. TSA took there time to open security lines and didn't seem to have any sense of urgency. They didn't seem surprised by the rushed, just indifferent to it. I overheard many others talking about missed flights, I would advise avoiding this airport whenever possible. This is coming from someone who flies often and has flown for work many times.

Quite seriously one of the most frustrating, poorly designed, and inconvenient airports I have ever seen. Vending machines at hospitals in high crime areas offer more appetizing meals than the terminal B food court. And this is probably the only airport that I have seen with carpeting in the majority of the airport which makes it an annoying friction-struggle for people to move around with their luggage. All around pathetic. Bathroom entrances are so narrow they guarantee bottlenecks. Been to this airport dozens of times and I can honestly say, I HATE THIS AIRPORT MORE THAN ANY OTHER.

Moved through pretty quickly flights were quick getting in.

Today the airport was busy as usual, but my check in went without a hitch. The only problem I saw was the passengers going through screening, had a case of follow the leader and went down one lane. There were 6 open lanes----cannot blame the airport because people are sheep

Besides the expected long TSA lines due to all the tourism, everything seems to flow in an organized manner. Plenty of specialty stores and places to eat.

I'm here delivering rebar to the new Virgin Railway.

Great experience for an airport. It's very well kept and we'll organized.

I lost my wallet one hour prior to my flight from MCO to DFW two weeks ago because I accidentally left it at security. A week later I get a letter stating they located my wallet by the lost and found department to my elation. I contacted the office and was told that I would receive my wallet Within 4 days. No problem. After four days, I had attempted to reach someone at the same lost and found Department I've spoken to previously but was met each and every time buy a prompt indicating that they were busy. It has been 8 days since receiving my letter and still no wallet and no contact from the Department on their claims like they promised. Awful.

And I still have no idea where my wallet is.

More unpopulated than usual. Lines moved fast and lots of staff cleaning. Most of the restaurants and stores are closed currently so not a lot to do but lots of empty seating.

Have visited this airport twice in recent years. The first time on arrival we claimed our suitcases and made the mistake of putting them back on the conveyor belt for transit to the next terminal (to avoid taking them up the escalator). Big mistake as they were delayed for an absolute age. Next visit we learned from this mistake and took all 4 suitcases up the escalator to avoid delays, but this is quite dangerous (wrestling with 2 suitcases and a cabin bag each), and surely asking for an accident to happen.

There was chaos at our departure gate (80). The space and seating at the gate was inadequate for the number of passengers, and so they sprawled out into the walkway behind (no doubt impeding the smooth flow of passengers to the other gates). When the announcement was made by the gate staff saying who/which rows should board first, none of the passengers could hear (even when stood close to the gate desk) because announcements from adjacent gates completely obliterated what was being said, and when we shouted that we could not hear, the announcer just shrugged at us! Very poor arrangement. Don't remember having the same problem at other airports.

Very long queues to pass through security, though the reason for extra checks/vigilance is of course understood. Instructions at security could have been clearer (shouted more frequently) too. At our UK airport, as business class travellers, we had our own separate and very quick (short queue) security check. Not at Orlando. Yes, there was a separate desk to go through with your boarding pass, but then it merged with the normal queue, which was very long.

Inadequate amount of shops in the departure lounge (including a tiny duty free shop).

Overall, could do a lot better!

14 yr old searched on an unaccompanied flight.. when they fixed his electronics in his bag issue, they pulled his bag for a 3rd check for a mickey ears apple. 45min in line, plus 30min being triple screened for a tablet in his bag with only phone and chargers and that apple.. arrive 3 hours ealry

Spent a couple layovers in this airport. Can't complain about the food options and the couch space.
