Flying into MCO for the first time. Need info

[chuckml]

I don't want to start a big thing about smoking, but we are flying into MCO for the first time this Dec. My wife isn't too fond of flying, and she is a smoker. That said, are there designated smoking areas outside that she can go to after we land to calm her nerves a bit? Thanks in advance.

Below is from the airport's website (upshot, smoking areas outside are marked. Level 3 or Level 1). Which means you still need to get from your gate through to the main terminal (to do this you must take the rail-shuttle which runs constantly) and then go down to the floor below baggage claim (bags are on floor 2) and go outside on floor 1. It'll take a few minutes, she should be warned:



In accordance with Floridas Clean Indoor Air Act and the recently approved "Amendment 6" to the Florida constitution, effective July 1st 2003 Orlando International Airport will become a non-smoking facility. Smoking will only be allowed outdoors on the 3rd level (departures) and outdoors on the 1st level (ground transportation) in permitted areas. No smoking will be allowed anywhere inside the Terminal Complex including the Airsides. Orlando International Airport and Orlando Executive Airport join other airports and public facilities throughout Florida in complying with this new legislation.

According to the MCO website, yes, the areas are outside on level 1 (ground transportation) and level 3 (departures) in designated areas.

I completely understand!!!!


Are you guys using the Magical Express?


If so, there is a smoking spot right out side there.

MCO is really good about marking the smoking area's~

Good deal! We are taking Magical Express. She hasn't flown since our 2nd anniversary--we've been married almost 12 years now-- so I know she'll be ready for a smoke when we land. I'm pretty sure I'll be ready for one too after sitting next to her in the plane for 2 hours!
