Labor Day Travel Expected to Extend Pattern of Heavy Passenger Traffic at Orlando International
ORLANDO, Fla. – Labor Day weekend traditionally represents the end of summer. It also signals a final opportunity for many travelers to soak in the last bit of summer by taking a trip to Orlando.
The table below highlights the six-day travel period, showing Orlando International Airport (MCO) is expecting more than 900,000 passengers. That’s a 14 percent increase over 2022. The busiest day is projected to be Saturday, September 5th with more than 170,000 passengers.
To accommodate the volume, the Aviation Authority will open all parking facilities – including the West Park Place remote lot and add extra shuttles that will run every 10 to 15 minutes. Drivers are reminded to leave early enough to allow time to look for available spaces and if they pull into a full facility, they should follow instructions on how to proceed.
Passengers are also asked to follow TSA Top Travel Tips.
