Orlando International Airport Gears Up for Busy Thanksgiving Travel Season with Over 1.9 Million Passengers Expected
Published

November 18, 2024By
Willie DavidORLANDO, Fla. (FNN) – Orlando International Airport (MCO) is preparing for one of its busiest travel seasons as more than 1.9 million passengers are expected to travel through its terminals during the Thanksgiving holiday period, running from November 22 through December 3, 2024.
“With our experience from the past two holiday seasons, Orlando International Airport is ready to handle this year’s robust travel surge,” said Kevin J. Thibault, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “Our staff, security teams, and vendors are energized to provide a seamless experience for our guests.”
Despite a slight drop in passenger volume compared to 2023, this year’s projections surpass pre-pandemic travel numbers. MCO handled 1.75 million travelers during the same period in 2022. December 1, 2024, is forecasted to be the busiest travel day, with 181,688 passengers arriving and departing.
Economic Impact for Orlando:
The influx of passengers bolsters Orlando’s economy, supporting the tourism, hospitality, and transportation sectors during one of the most crucial periods for local businesses. As a gateway to Central Florida’s theme parks, resorts, and attractions, MCO plays a vital role in driving revenue for the region.
Traveler Tips for a Smooth Journey:
- Follow the 3-2-1 Rule: Be at the ticket counter 3 hours before your flight, at security checkpoints 2 hours before, and at the gate 1 hour before departure.
- Reserve Parking Early: Use MCO’s Reserved Parking program via the Orlando MCO mobile app or the airport’s website. Additional spaces are available in the renamed surface lots—Atlantis, Endeavour, and Discovery—but they require E-Pass or SunPass Plus.
- Consider Alternatives: With parking expected to reach capacity, rideshares, taxis, or drop-offs are highly recommended.
Important Reminders:
- Stay Updated: Download the Orlando MCO app for live updates on parking and security wait times.
- Be Prepared: Check for prohibited items, secure luggage tags, and ensure pets have leashes for TSA screening.
- Be Patient: Expect large crowds and potential delays throughout the journey.
