I will arrive at 10:30 am my flight back is at 5 pm so I will be at the airport 1:30 hour before the flight and 1 hour to finish the entering papers. Can I check anything in orlando at this remaining time I will have a small cross bag or a carry on
ZAP 08/24/2017
So you'll have 11:30 to about 3 Available? Yeah, you could visit a small attraction, but note that things in Orlando are sort of spread apart and not near the airport.

Please recommend someplace to visit the nearest to the airport

Hello,
I'll be flying from Miami to Peru with a 7hrs layover in Lima. Is it safe for me to leave the airport and check into the hotel? On my return trip I have a 17 hrs layover at MCO can l check into the hotel there as I wouldn't want to sit at the airport for such a long time.
ZAP 06/09/2017
Yes, on the return you can go to a hotel in Orlando.

Hi, I will be flying in on the 22nd April from LGW, I land at MCO at 16:55 at then fly to SLC at 18:59. I will only have a carry on. Is this enough time and will my connecting flight be in a different terminal? (I am an american citizen FYI)
ZAP 03/28/2017
Orlando only has one Terminal. That will be a very difficult connection.

Please can you help. If I were to fly from London (gatwick) to Dublin and then on to Orlando International how long would I need to layover in Dublin to make my connecting flight. I will make the same journey in reverse coming home, how long would you also recommend when returning to Dublin from Orlando?
ZAP 10/07/2016
If both flights are on the same reservation I would want 2 hours both ways in Dublin.

Thank you again for your help. Flights are now booked.

So, I'm flying out from DCA - MCO from Delta airlines and it lands at MCO 11:40a. Then, I have a flight from a different airline from MCO - SJU which departs at 12:45pm. Do I have to go through security again? Will I have enough time?
ZAP 07/22/2016
What airline are you flying to SJU? Do you have checked bags? I can't answer your question without that info.
Jkz 07/22/2016
Spirit airlines. I only plan on having a carry-on
ZAP 07/22/2016
You will have to go through security again. This is not very feasible unless your flight from DCA arrives early.

Thanks. I ended up just booking another one way flight the day before (relatively cheap) rather than having to go with cancellations fees and changes. Believe me, was on the phone over hours trying to resolve this. Will still take the return flight back (confirmed it won't be a problem if it's a no-show for depart flight). Thanks for your help. Rather go through the stress now than the day of.

Hi, I am flying into MCO with a 5 hour layover. I have never been to this airport but wondered what the best things to do are, leave, stay, certain lounges? Thanks!
ZAP 10/03/2014
5 hours isn't worth leaving - it's an hour to anything. There's also not much to do there except some typical airport restaurants, bars, and stores.
Pennybridge 10/03/2014
Ok good to know! Thank you so much for the insight :)
