Layout
- Terminal A and B — main, with airside satellites 1–4.
- Terminal C — newest, opened 2022, with international and select domestic carriers.
Getting there
- Brightline train from Miami arrives directly at Terminal C.
- Mears Connect / Sunshine Flyer for theme park transfers.
- Lyft/Uber — load zones at each terminal.
Security
- All terminals have TSA PreCheck and Clear.
- Allow 90+ minutes in peak family-travel windows (Saturday morning, post-holiday Mondays).
Storm season
- Florida convective afternoons are the biggest delay driver.
- Tropical systems can wipe an operating day; FlightyFlow shows active TFM initiatives.
Tracking MCO
For a 2 PM departure on a stormy August afternoon, FlightyFlow's delay risk badge is usually amber by 8 AM. Plan extra cushion for connections.
