Hi, is it common/expected to tip the Fast Park drivers?
@@ebberz813 good question! No it is not expected. I will personally tip if I have a bag and the driver helps me load it onto the bus. That is usually what I see other guests do as well but it is personal preference! Ive seen guests that have the driver help with bags and they do not tip so I think you are fine either way! Does that help? Thanks for watching!
@@MeganMoves your explanation was very helpful. Thanks so much for the quick response!
I had TSA PreCheck, and I was glad I had it. The people who travel through Orlando are not experienced travelers.
Yes I agree, I have PreCheck as well and it is a lifesaver for Orlando! Thanks for watching!
One thing you mentioned which I found confusing was mentioning the Two terminals and two security areas. It’s really not an issue. If your airline is in A terminal, you automatically go to A security. Likewise, if your airline is in B terminal, you’ll almost automatically go through B security. You’d really have go go out of your way to go through the wrong security checkpoint. In the 26 years I’ve lived here, I’ve never once had an issue of wrong security checkpoints.
Hello John! I totally understand your comment and can see how it may seem easy to choose the right terminal! I bring it up though because unfortunately I still see passengers go through the wrong terminal security and realize they are not where they need to be for their gate. It may be easy to figure out if you have traveled through Orlando multiple times, but that may not be the case with some passengers so I like to bring it up to make people aware! Thanks for watching and for the comment😀
Thanks for great advice
No problem happy to help! Thanks for watching!
I've been there once and it wasn't that bad, even security, the line was super long but went smoothly (it was like 8am) even a lady cut the line because she was about to "miss her flight" but when i got in she was still waiting 🙄😂. I'll be doing a stop there in two weeks, hoping everything goes well.
Glad you have had a good experience at the Orlando Airport! It can be a hit or miss for sure. Safe Travels next time you fly!
Great tips as always Megan especially as we are unfamiliar with Orlando airport facilities 👍😀❤️
Thank you K Lady! The Orlando airport unfortunately can get confusing so I wanted to share some tips to make for a positive experience there! Thanks for watching and I hope you all have a great weekend!
Here's a big tip take a moment look up and read the signs and read your boarding pass before anything. 1-59 is a separate security checkpoint for you guessed it only gates 1-59 nooooo you're not going to connect to 70-129...or vice versa. Also MCO security is different than any other airport. If a TSA agent is saying computers out it's important, don't have a false expectation just because Boston they let you do things that means Orlando will do it too. And lastly THERE ARE BENCHES IN THE BACK STOP GETTING DRESSED AT THE XRAY TABLE!!!! GRAB YOUR BINS AND BAGS AND GO OVER THERE. so many people do it and that's why we have long lines it's the passengers each group taking 5 mins to get dressed and organized
Yes all great tips Jay for sure! Thank you for sharing and watching!
do you have to check in at the airlines desk when you arrive at mco to depart back home if you’re using a mobile boarding pass for spirit ?
If I wanted to park in Terminal B do I just park and pay later? Or how do I pay? I see that it’s $19 a day but I can’t find where to make my reservation.
Tip 5... Freeze at Mark 5:19, my 2 cents. If any one is like me and traveling to Orlando just to catch a connecting flights to the Caribbean or South America.
I had to do 1 whole day research to know if and how to move from my arrival (Concourse/Airside/Satellite)#3 Via Spirit Domestic arrival flight and get to (Concourse/Airside/Satellite)#1 for my International Flight. On the West Side Only of the airport, as long as you get off the tram or automated people mover that services (Concourse/Airside/Satellite)#3 immediately make a left and look for Automated People Mover signs to Gates 1-29. This directly behind the TSA area.
***Do not leave the security checkpoint areas as you will have to get in line all over again, My intention for my comment was to help other travelers who are doing the same as me. Upon arrival I literally only have 1 hour to move from one flight to thee other. So if your in a tight time window to catch your flight from Airside#3(gates 30-59) TO Airside#1(gates 1-29) its a quick turn around from one APM to the next APM without worrying about going from Terminal B side (airside#3 is classified as Terminal B) to Terminal A side ( airside#1 is classified as Terminal A). The Westside of Orlando Airport's security checkpoint is shared it seem for Gates 1-59 so that covers the Airside#1 & # 3. When In doubt just stop and read the signs, as to avoid TSA security Lines to only go back to where to just came from.
Yes this is a great point! I wish that the two security checkpoints were connected so that you didn't have to worry about going through the wrong one or leaving then having to go through security again. Thank you for sharing this I think its great for international travel through Orlando! Thanks for watching! 😀
@@MeganMoves if it wasn't for people like you uploading this kind of helpful content on CZcams I'd be lost! There's nothing on the internet about this. They mostly just mention that you can walk across sometime depending on the day.
I looked very carefully between your video and someone taking the tram from airside #3 and I figured it out lol.
Your awesome, again thank you.This airport can lead to you missing your flight because of it's layouts and security check points.
@@danperez3970 Well I am happy to help! I know I have had troubles in the past with figuring out to go so I want to help others avoid missing their flight! Thank you again for your feedback and comment I appreciate it!😃
Great tips megan and information I'm visiting Orlando in March.
Thanks Mauricio! I am glad to help and excited you will be able to visit soon! Safe travels and thanks for watching!😀
@@MeganMoves thanks megan thank you. You must know Orlando and every city that there is to see lol
@@mauriciogutman2644 I have been fortunate to travel a lot and am glad to share my tips! 🤩
@@MeganMoves yeh I can tell lol you're familiar with tons of cool places around Orlando. Well it's nice to meet you!
@@MeganMoves I'm originally from New York how bout you?
Hi new viewer here 👋 is there anywhere to est if my flight arrives at 11pm?? TYA
Hi thanks for being here! I dont know that there is much open at 11PM but if there was I would recommend McDonalds that is in the food court! YOu may be able to check the hours on the MCO website. Have a safe flight and thanks for watching!
I get confused. Where is the food court in relation to the large atrium area with the hotel facade and the US flag?
Good question! The orlando airport can be confusing. But the food court is in between terminal A and B! I believe the hotel is near terminal A?
Question. If I am renting a car, how do I navigate to the highway to get the port carnival? How does that work?
Will you have access to a gps or google maps on your phone? if not I would follow signs to 528 east!
@@MeganMoves Thank you. I was just interested where exactly the rentals exit the airport. But thank you for your help.
@@lovermonkey the rentals exit from the airports parking garage!
@@MeganMoves OH ok. Thanks...
How much time should you typically budget to get through security?
To be safe, I would budget an hour! You just never know with Orlando but I always go with at least an hour! Thanks for watching!
How much is the long term parking at the airport do you know?
I believe it’s $10 a day if you don’t use the parking garage!
@@MeganMoves thank you I used the one you recommended
@@sunshineslotgurl1214 Glad to hear it! I hope you had a good experience with them!
@@MeganMoves thank you 😊

It is not cheap to park at FastPark and Relax .. I was quoted $175.00 for 9 days ... That is not cheap !!!
I know what you mean Diane! The reason I like Fast park and relax though is because they have a rewards system that you can earn free days! Are you traveling soon?
Half the video was about a parking company. Maybe she has shares in it
I do not actually but I find it a useful parking location when flying out of Orlando! Thanks for watching.
This airport is ancient and cruddy
I think it could definitely use some enhancements! Thanks for watching 🤩
