Airport near the port?

[dis4me]

Has anyone flown into any other airport beside Orlando? Are there any airports that are as close or a little further?

Melbourne, FL (MLB) is slightly closer than Orlando (MCO), although your flight options to get there are considerably more limited (most of the flights in are via Atlanta). Sanford-Orlando (SFB) is north of the Orlando airport, but there are a few options there... mostly the tiny PanAm plus scheduled charters from Europe. Some folks have flown into Tampa (TPA) or Jacksonville (JAX) to get good fares on Southwest. Those airports are a couple hour's drive, but it's worthwhile sometimes if you get a great fare.

You could fly into Daytona too, which I believe is closer than Orlando. Having said that - I always fly into Orlando...

Thanks for the info. I guess Orlando is the best option.
