you how to get from your arrival gate to the main terminal and to ground
transportation options for the Orlando International Airport or MCO. Keep
watching this Orlando International Airport travel guide for travel tips to
make your trip to Orlando a smooth ride
There are two airports which handle commercial passenger traffic in the
Orlando area: Orlando International Airport or MCO is the main airport for
the Orlando area. The second Airport is Orlando Sanford International Airport or
SFB is located in Sanford, Florida around 30 miles from downtown
Orlando SFB operates low-cost airlines and have limited choices in airline
carriers. In this video will only cover Orlando International Airport or MCO and
it's ground transportation. You can find more information on both airports on our
website hipfig.com. MCO has one main terminal and 4 satellite terminals. All
flights arrive at satellite terminals also called air side terminals. Satellite
terminals are connected to the main terminal by the automated people mover
or APM train also known as the shuttle
Once you disembark the plane at MCO, domestic passengers or passengers from
Canada who have gone through US Immigration and Customs in Canada
through preclearance should follow the signs to the Terminal and Bag claim which
will take you to the APM train station in that satellite terminal. Arriving
international passengers should follow the signs to passport control and
immigration. MCO uses automated passport control kiosks and manned counters in
immigration to help speed up the process After clearing immigration, all arriving
international passengers should pick up their bags and clear customs. If Orlando
or vicinity is not your final destination and you have a connecting
flight after clearing customs drop your bags at the transfer belt for your next
flight. If you Orlando is your final destination, once you clear customs you
can either place your bags on the baggage belt for transfer to the main
terminal baggage claim A or B, or you can keep your bags with you. If you have
large bags we suggest putting it on the baggage belt to get to the main terminal
Go to the APM station. All arriving passengers need to take the APM train to
get to the main terminal where baggage claim and ground transportation is
located. The APM trains arrive and depart frequently. Once on board it will take
just a few minutes to get to the main terminal. The main terminal has three
levels. The APM train arrives on level three of the main terminal. On level
three you'll find a currency exchange counter if you need one. Hey did you know
that there's a hotel inside the main terminal? Well you do now. The Hyatt
Regency Orlando International Airport is located right in the main terminal. I's
located in the center separating side A and side B
Baggage claim is located at a level 2 Follow the signs down to baggage claim
side A or B depending on your baggage claim area. If you have no baggage to
claim follow side B signs to ground transportation at level two
Once you pick up your bags follow signs for ground transportation to level one
Please note that curbside pickup by private cars and ride-sharing providers
such as uber and lyft are on level two on the baggage claim level. Escalators
elevators and stairs are available at all levels. The easiest and most
convenient way to get into Orlando are taxis. Taxi are located on sides A and B of
the main terminal on level one. They're located at Lane parking spaces on the a
side A 5 to 8, and A 22 to 25 on the B side they are located in
lanes B 5-8 and B 30-34. Unlike other airports, MCO also offers large taxi
vans which can carry up to nine passengers. Taxi should charge the same
rate regardless of the number of passengers. All taxi cabs picking up at
the airport are regulated by the city of Orlando's vehicle for hirer ordinance
which requires fares to be determined by a taxi meter so make sure they use one
If you're planning to take a shared shuttle they're located on sides A and B
of the main terminal on level one at parking Lane spaces on A 19 - 21 and on the B 27 -29 Shared shuttles are a cheaper option than
taxis that do offer a door-to-door service but they have many stops. Free
Airport Hotel shuttles are located on the B side of the main terminal on level
1 at commercial lanes B 39. All other Orlando hotels or resort shuttles
including Disney's Magical Express buses are located at lanes B 42
42 through 47 towards the end of the terminal. If your hotel offers our free
shuttle from the airport contact your hotel for detailed
information about pick up times and pick up places. If you're going to be taking
Disney's Magical Express bu, s follow signs on the ground-level main terminal
side B. Disney's Magical Express buses are available only on side B. Public bus
