If you’re traveling this spring break, make sure you’re paying attention to crucial details such as popular travel dates, estimated airport traffic numbers, and flight times so that the crowds don’t ruin your trip. Missing a flight because of airport traffic or security lines is no fun, and the Orlando International Airport (MCO) has you covered when it comes to staying prepared.
With these high-traffic days will likely come longer security lines, but we have a tip on how to navigate that! The Orlando Airport recently announced that the hours for MCO Reserve would be extended, allowing guests the opportunity to SKIP the security line (as long as they reserve their spot ahead of time — learn how to do that here). MCO Reserve is available from 6:30AM to 8:30PM each day.
