Orlando Airport Help

[mnsawyer]

Has anyone that recently cruised out of Port Canaveral tell me how many hours ahead of your flight you can check your bags at Orlando Airport? We have a 5:30 p.m. flight and am concerned about how early in the day we can check our bags.

 

Thanks!

The industry standard is 4 hours. If you tell the counter agent that you just got off of a cruise ship, they may be able to override the system and allow you to check in early.

There used to be a place in the main terminal that you could pay to store your bags in Orlando. I've done that before when getting off, caught a cab and went to Universal. My flight didn't go out until almost 8:00 pm, so I had the whole day at the park.

Update - I decided to call American Airlines directly to see what the story is...in Orlando, you can check your bags anytime during the day of your flight. I even had her double check with a supervisor and Help Desk and it is in their system regarding baggage. What a relief! Otherwise, I was going to change our flights.

I would check with the airline. But if you do the express check-in like with US Airways you would be able to check your bags anytime.
