About City
Orlando, for most people, conjures up the image of theme parks, mainly Disney World, but it has a lot more to offer than that. In fact, Disney World is not in Orlando, but is in nearby Lake Buena Vista. The region sees an estimated 52 million tourists a year, and downtown Orlando is developing significantly under this tourist boom. Other cities in the metropolitan area include Altamonte Springs, Davenport, Kissimmee, and Winter Park.
Airport Information
Orlando International Airport (IATA: MCO). Most people arrive by commercial air arrive via Orlando International Airport, abbreviated OIA, which is Orlando's primary airport, and the busiest airport in the State of Florida in regards to passenger traffic. The airport is located to the southeast of downtown Orlando, but is centrally located with respect to the region and area attractions. Orlando International Airport is a secondary hub for AirTran Airways, Southwest Airlines, & JetBlue Airways which all fly numerous routes to/from Orlando. Furthermore, Delta Air Lines offers 15 flights daily (August 2009) between Orlando and their largest hub in Atlanta. Lufthansa flies 6 times per week to Frankfurt, a major European hub, while Aer Lingus operates direct flights to Dublin, offering a budget aifare between Orlando and Europe. In addition to direct flights with almost every major US city, OIA serves over a dozen Canadian destinations (many seasonal), Jamaica (Montego Bay), the Bahamas (Nassau), Mexico (Cancun, Mexico City), Panama (Panama City), Germany (Frankfurt), Ireland (Dublin), Brazil (Sao Paulo, begin Dec 08), and the United Kingdom (London-Gatwick, Manchester, Glasgow).
The airport is structured as such that there is a central "landside" terminal (A and B), containing airline counters, baggage claim, rental agencies, numerous shops, and a hotel, which is connected via trams to four other terminals (known as "Airside 1-4") with the airplane gates. There are plenty of shops in both the central terminal and the airsides, but most restaurants are located in the airsides.
Security screening is performed in the central terminal before taking the tram to the airsides and, as in all US airports, only ticketed passengers are allowed past security. Security lines can become extremely long (1 hour), especially during the summer tourist season and near holidays. Combined with long check-in lines, it is advisable to arrive 2-3 hours before your scheduled departure.
