MCO Meet & Greet — Quick Facts
MCO Terminal & Airside Meet & Greet Guide
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the 7th busiest airport in the United States, handling over 50 million passengers annually. MCO uses an automated people mover (APM) system — passengers take a train from their airside gate terminal to the main terminal before reaching baggage claim. This adds 5–10 minutes to the transit time versus a conventional airport layout. Your driver is already at the baggage claim carousel before you step off the APM train.
Terminal A — Airside 1 (Southwest Airlines)
Airside 1 (Gates 1–29) handles Southwest Airlines domestic flights, the largest single-carrier operation at MCO. After landing, passengers take the APM from Airside 1 back to Terminal A. Baggage claim is on Level 2, Carousels 1–8. Your driver is at the carousel before you exit the train.
Driver meets: Terminal A, Level 2 baggage claim, Carousels 1–8
Terminal A — Airside 3 (JetBlue, Alaska)
Airside 3 (Gates 30–59) serves JetBlue Airways, Alaska Airlines, and several regional carriers. Arrivals take the APM to Terminal A — same baggage claim Level 2 as Airside 1 arrivals, Carousels 1–8. JetBlue passengers: your driver knows your flight's belt assignment from real-time tracking.
Driver meets: Terminal A, Level 2 baggage claim, Carousels 1–8
Terminal B — Airside 2 (American, Delta, United + International, 60-min wait)
Airside 2 (Gates 100–129) handles American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, British Airways (BA), and Virgin Atlantic. International passengers clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection at Terminal B, Level 1, before accessing Level 2 baggage claim (Carousels 9–17). Detailed Drivers provides a 60-minute complimentary wait for all Airside 2 international arrivals — British and European guests particularly benefit given UK/EU processing times.
Driver meets: International — Terminal B Level 2 arrivals hall, past customs exit. Domestic — Level 2, Carousels 9–17
Terminal B — Airside 4 (Spirit, Frontier)
Airside 4 (Gates 60–99) handles Spirit Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and seasonal charter carriers. APM connects to Terminal B — baggage claim on Level 2, Carousels 9–17. Spirit and Frontier passengers arriving on budget fares: same inside meet and greet, same name sign, same flat-rate transfer.
Driver meets: Terminal B, Level 2 baggage claim, Carousels 9–17

MCO Meet & Greet vs Uber / Lyft
MCO is uniquely poorly suited for rideshare pickup. After taking the APM train from your airside to the main terminal, collecting bags, and then navigating to the rideshare staging lot (Level 1, outside the terminal), the average wait for Uber or Lyft during peak Disney weeks is 15–25 minutes — in Florida summer heat or December holiday crowds. Detailed Drivers meets you inside, at the carousel, before you even reach the exit.
| Feature | Detailed Drivers | Uber Black | Lyft Lux |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver Inside Terminal | Yes — at baggage claim | No — rideshare staging lot | No — rideshare staging lot |
| Name Sign | Yes | No | No |
| Spring Break Price (MCO→Disney) | $65 flat | $65 × 3.5x = $227.50 | $55 × 3.0x = $165 |
| Dec Holiday Price (MCO→Disney) | $65 flat | $65 × 4.0x = $260 | $55 × 3.5x = $192.50 |
| APM Train Wait Handled | Yes — driver accounts for APM time | No — driver may cancel waiting | No — driver may cancel waiting |
| Flight Tracking | Real-time, all MCO carriers | None | None |
| International Wait (Airside 2) | 60 min complimentary | Cannot track customs progress | Cannot track customs progress |
