Arrival tips for Orlando International Airport
Check which terminal you land at: Terminal A, B or C. Terminals A and B share the main north building; Terminal C is a separate building on the south side, linked by the Terminal Link train.
In Terminals A and B, your plane arrives at an airside concourse; take the Gate Link train to the main terminal for baggage claim. If you arrive on an international flight, you clear US Customs and Border Protection first, then collect your bags. If you are eligible, Global Entry or Mobile Passport Control can shorten the line.
Domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim in their terminal.
Follow the signs for ground transportation and ride-app pickups. If your driver is meeting you, confirm whether it is at Terminal A, B or C, since the north and south buildings are far apart. The Brightline station is next to Terminal C.
