Getting Around MCO Airport
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is organized into three main terminals, making navigation relatively straightforward. The North Terminal Complex is split into two sections: Terminal A and Terminal B. Each terminal is serviced by tramway systems that connect the main terminal areas to their respective airside concourses. Terminal A links you to Airside 1 and Airside 2, while Terminal B connects to Airside 3, Airside 4, and Terminal C.
Terminal C, also referred to as the South Terminal Complex, is primarily used for international flights and JetBlue flights. It features its own set of gates and a pre-security tramway that links it to Terminals A and B. For moving between these terminals efficiently, you can use the tram systems or the elevated enclosed walkway, especially useful if you're transferring flights or have some extra time before boarding. Here are some tips for getting around inside the airport:
- Follow the clear signage to guide you to your desired terminal and gate.
- Utilize the tram services for quick transfers between terminals and concourses.
- Allow extra time for security checks, especially when moving between international and domestic flights in Terminal C.
Check the concourses and terminals for all airlines serving MCO Airport before you travel.
