Located six miles southeast of Downtown Orlando, Orlando International Airport serves as Florida's busiest airport and a major international gateway. Covering 11,605 acres, it stands among the largest commercial airports by land area in the United States. Serving over 57 million passengers in 2025, the airport hosts more than 40 airlines offering over 1,000 daily flights to over 170 worldwide destinations.
The airport is organized into the main North Terminal complex—comprising Terminals A and B with four Airsides—and the newer Terminal C within the South Terminal Complex. Passengers transfer between facilities using automated people movers like the Terminal Link. The airport serves as an operating base for Breeze Airways, Frontier Airlines, and Southwest Airlines, as well as a focus city for JetBlue.
01 Terminals & concourses
The North Terminal features a central Landside Terminal connected via people movers to four separate Airside buildings. Airsides 1 and 4 house international concourses for processing international arrivals.
Opened in September 2022, Terminal C features 20 gates and offers direct connections to the Intermodal Terminal via the Terminal Link people mover. It is designed to accommodate international and domestic flights.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at MCO
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
