If you’re flying to Orlando in the future, DON’T SKIP OVER THIS TIP!!!
Let’s face it — air travel can be a pain. While it’s still the fastest way to get from point A to point B, between getting the right airfare and navigating airports, it’s not the most enjoyable part of a vacation. Fortunately, if you’re planning a trip through Orlando International Airport (MCO), the airport offers a free perk that may make traveling loads easier!
One of the busiest airports in America, MCO sees a plethora of tourists come and go each day. With that in mind, it’s understandable if you’re fearful of the abundance of travelers and other factors leading to you missing your flight. Rest assured — there’s one MCO security offering that just might save the day!
MCO Reserve is a skip-the-line service at the airport that lets you completely bypass the security line for FREE.
How it works is first you must visit the MCO Reserve’s website and input your flight information and when you’ll be arriving at the security checkpoint. You’ll then receive a confirmation allowing you to arrive at MCO Reserve during a certain time window, during which you can go through security without the hassle of a wait.
Of note, MCO isn’t available to those who are using TSA Pre-Check and CLEAR+. Also, please be advised that despite MCO Reserve being open from 5 AM to 5 PM, only flights departing between 6:30 AM and 8:30 PM are eligible for the service.
