The primary difference between Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) is their scale and proximity to the main tourist hubs. MCO is the massive, world-class hub located just 15–20 minutes from Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando; it handles almost all major domestic and international carriers. SFB, on the other hand, is a much smaller, quieter airport located about 45–60 minutes north of the theme parks in Sanford, Florida. SFB is primarily used by ultra-low-cost carriers like Allegiant Air and some international charter flights from the UK. While SFB often offers shorter security lines and faster baggage claim, the cost of transportation (Uber/Lyft) to the theme park area is significantly higher than from MCO, which can sometimes negate the savings of a cheaper flight.
