Orlando /MCO alternatives?

[39august]

Is there any reasonable alternative airport for getting to Port Canaveral? Any shuttles from another airport? The schedules for airfare from Oklahoma City to and from MCO are really bad.

Sanford on the north side of Orlando is one option. Melbourne and Daytona are two other good options. A rental car one way to PC/Cocoa Beach will likely be cheaper than any shuttle service. Good luck! :)

Sanford or Melbourne Airports are close. Not sure about shuttles, perhaps someone else could help with that question.

Some major airlines fly to Melbourne, but Sanford is pretty much charters & Allegiant--no major carriers. If you don't mind driving 1-3 hours you could check Tampa, Jacksonville or Daytona Beach. Do a one way rental to Port Canaveral & a one way rental back to the airport. There are no drop fees in FL for dropping a car at another location. You'd have to allow the extra time for it, but it could be worth it if you can find significant savings on airfare.

Sanford may be your best bet since alligany has the cheaper fares

Allegiant which is really the only domestic airline which flies to Sanford is your only choice if you choose that airport. The closest airport to you that it serves is Fayetteville, AR.

 

Melbourne/Daytona usually have pretty much the same fares so choose Melbourne as it's much closer. Sometimes the fares are lower to these two than to Orlando & sometimes not.

 

Any other airport will require you to drive for hours to reach Port Canaveral. Good luck.
