I Always Departed Manchester on an American Flight to Orlando's MCO Airport, I must say that I prefer this airport than the one time that I flew into Sanford, mainly because of the Distance, so if want an airport centrally located then MCO is the best place. Virgin Fly here Direct from Manchester along with many american stopping flights such as Us Air, Delta, continental and american, so you could always pack in a multi stop in either new york or another city. Back to MCO, I arrive here in the middle of the night around 10pm and you get off the plane into a lovely air conditioned terminal with mickey mouse peering through a shop window just after you have taken a ...  Read the complete review

Here is my experience of Orlando International Airport which we have used on Three holidays to Florida, our latest visit was Nov 2007.

OK, I’m going to try to make this a shorter than usual review. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is situated in the heart of Florida, USA. It is the main airport the British use when holidaying in the Disney area. The airport itself is huge, and our only experience of it was this Christmas just passed (2004). On arrival we were greeted by airport staff who were really friendly, and we headed out to pick up our baggage. Having waited about 20 minutes for all the luggage to arrive on the belt, we then headed off in the direction of the “exit”. Hmmm. This is where Orlando appears to be different from other airports. Just around ...  Read the complete review
