Orlando International Aiprot is bracing itself for a very busy weekend, and has issued handy hinds to help ease passengers journeys through the airport.

Labor Day is expected to continue the upwards trend of heavy holiday traffic at Orlando international Airport

Labor Day weekend traditionally represents the summer’s last chance to get away, and once again that travel philosophy will make Orlando International Airport (MCO) a bustling place.


Passenger traffic over the six-day travel period, from August 29 through September 3, 2024, is expected to increase by 1.4% over the same period in 2023.


In total, nearly 900,000 travelers will pass through MCO, with Monday, September 2, anticipated as the busiest day with a combined 164,231 passengers.



“We’re excited for the opportunity to once again demonstrate Connection, one of the priorities in our Strategic Plan,” said Kevin J. Thibault, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “During this busy season, travelers will benefit from our air service to more than 160 destinations, bringing connectivity across the U.S. and to the world.”

To help manage the increased passenger volume, MCO recommends the following:


Arrive at the airport early to mitigate parking and check-in challenges. You can reserve parking here or consider these options.


Check flight status and security wait times on our website or mobile app.


Consider using TSA Precheck or CLEAR for expedited security screening.


Pack smart and avoid checking bags if possible.


Passengers are also asked to follow TSA Top Travel Tips.
