Domestic passengers

Orlando Airport domestic arrivals are served by a convenient transportation system. View a step-by-step guide for getting to the Main Terminal

1. Use a jetway to get to a gate area from an aircraft. In this zone, you will find restaurants, shops, lounges, ATMs, and telephones.
2. Head to the central part of the Airside Terminal to find the shuttle station and reach the main terminal. The overhead signage will guide you along the way.
3. The shuttle will take you to Level 3. Look for the Baggage Claim A or B signs, and move to the correct side.
4. Go down to Level 2 to get your bags. Private transport services depart from here.
5. Proceed to Level 1 to select another suitable transportation option - rental car, taxi, shuttle van, or bus.

International passengers

Flights coming from another country have a different service procedure due to the need to go through customs and immigration. This affects how you get to the main terminal:

1. When leaving the aircraft, prepare the necessary documents for the inspection.
2. After going through customs and immigration, pick up your baggage from the carousel, and head to the exit. You can keep your luggage with you or transfer it to the main terminal.
3. Climb 1 level up using the steps or escalator to board the Automatic People Mover (APM)
4. The APM takes you to Level 3 of the Main Terminal. Continue to side A or B.
5. Go down to Levels 2 and 1 to collect your baggage and choose the appropriate way to leave the airport.
