Some 1.63 million passengers are expected to travel through the Orlando International Airport during the Thanksgiving holiday this year. 

That’s only a 2.5 percent difference in traffic compared with records set in 2019 over the twelve-day holiday period.

Saturday, November 27th is expected to be the busiest travel day at MCO with some 154,400 people using the airport. 

Thanksgiving Day should be the lightest.

In a statement, Tom Draper, Chief of Operations at the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority says, “With our passenger traffic nearly back to pre-COVID levels, our garages are filling quickly so please practice patience while you travel and allow yourself more time for parking, check-in and security.”

Airport executives say people should arrive at the airport at least two hours ahead of domestic flights and three hours before international ones.
