Orlando Airport

Orlando is well-known for being a top tourist destination. And that's certainly understandable; after all, it's home to some of the best theme parks in the world, including Walt Disney World and Universal Studios. Fortunately for travelers, the Orlando International Airport is every bit as good as its amusement parks.

The Orlando International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. It serves over 31 million passengers per year. Over 800 flights pass through the airport each day. There are over 50 airlines that serve Orlando, including Alaska Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta, jetBlue, Frontier, Mexicana and U.S. Airways, and new service is being added all the time. The airport's architecture is a nice counterpoint to its business. The airport has a modern, airy design that lets in plenty of the Florida sunshine. The hotel atrium is a particularly nice spot to relax in. The train from the terminal to the gates provides both convenient transportation and a great view of the Florida surroundings.

Quite possibly the best thing about the Orlando airport is its many shops, restaurants and services. The airports' many shops include Sunglass International, GNC, Global Cellular and Electronics, Gem Collection, Borders and more. You can relax with a spa treatment at Profiles Hair Salon/Massage or let the kids run free at Power Play Arcade. Restaurants include Johnny River's Smokehouse, Sbarro, Seattle's Best Coffee and Cafe Azalea. There are also numerous ATMs, foreign currency exchanges, a bank, shoe shines, information centers and internet kiosks. There's also an excellent hotel, the Hyatt Regency, that has two restaurants, a bar and meeting space. There are several rental car companies that are available for your vacation or business travel, as well as taxis and an out-of-town shuttle.
