Flights to Orlando
Orlando is one of the busiest family destinations in the country, and how you arrange travel for a group matters as much as the flight.
Getting to Orlando
Orlando International is the main airport for the region and handles the great majority of scheduled service, including international routes. Orlando Sanford International, to the north of the city, is smaller and used by a limited number of carriers. Most visitors are heading for the theme parks, which are spread across the south-west of the city and are reached by road from either airport.
Airports serving the area: Orlando International (MCO) and Orlando Sanford International (SFB).
What to know about Orlando
Orlando trips are frequently group trips. Four or five passengers travelling together on the same itinerary, sometimes from different cities, is a common request, and it is one of the situations where talking to a representative is genuinely faster than working through a website on your own. Seat allocation for a group and baggage allowances for a family are also worth settling before the reservation is completed.
- MCO is the primary airport and handles nearly all international arrivals.
- SFB serves a smaller number of carriers and sits north of the city.
- Group reservations are common, so it helps to have every traveller's details to hand.
- Allow extra time at the airport during school holiday periods.
When people travel to Orlando
School holidays drive demand here more than anywhere else. The summer break, Thanksgiving, the December holidays and spring break are the busiest periods, and the weeks immediately after each are noticeably quieter. Late spring and early autumn often combine warm weather with smaller crowds.
Routes we are asked about most
The most frequent requests are nonstop service from the Northeast, Midwest and Texas, direct international flights from Europe and Latin America, and group itineraries for families travelling together.
