Orlando (MCO)
Orlando International Airport (MCO) serves as the primary gateway to Central Florida’s world-famous attractions. It is currently the busiest airport in the state, featuring a unique hub-and-spoke layout connected by automated people movers. The recently opened Terminal C offers state-of-the-art facilities and a variety of high-end dining options, making the pre-flight experience more comfortable for passengers heading to Texas. It is a major base for several domestic carriers, providing high-frequency service to the Dallas area.
Dallas (DFW)
Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is a massive aviation hub located halfway between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. It is so large that it actually has its own zip code and emergency services. As the primary global hub for American Airlines, it offers five sprawling terminals and incredible connectivity. Travelers can easily move between terminals using the high-speed Skylink train. Once ground-side, passengers can reach downtown Dallas via the DART Orange Line or take the TEXRail to downtown Fort Worth.
