About
Arriving at Orlando International Airport
Orlando is one of the busiest leisure airports in the world, driven by Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and dozens of other attractions. Families arriving here are often traveling with children and luggage, which means extra time from gate to curb.
The new Terminal C opened in 2022 and handles many international and domestic flights. Terminals A and B remain active for most US carriers.
If you're picking someone up, expect the arrival roads to be busy with rental car shuttles and rideshare vehicles. The cell phone lot is the best option — wait for a SkyText landing alert and then head to the correct terminal.
Pickup tip
MCO has a new Terminal C for international flights. Use the cell phone lot and wait for a text — the terminal approach roads get congested with rental car shuttles.
