How early for checkin at Orlando?

[dcedwards]

For those of you who have been recently, how long did it take you to check in at the Orlando Airport? Some airports are saying to allow over 2 hours. We are flying on SWA

We flew this weekend on SWA and it took us 30 minutes at Phoenix and 20 minutes at Spokane, Washington. We got there 2 hours early. Then I listened to my 3.5 yr old ask me how long until we leave. I used to think getting there an hour early was bad...but 2 hours was even longer.

Just curious. We are planning to get there 2 hours ahead but am wondering how much "entertainment" to bring for the airport wait.

I'd say you'd be fine with 2 hours, maybe even 1 1/2 hours since you can "pre-board" with your 3YO on SWA.

We flew out of MCO via SWA on Monday night. Check-in and security were quick and easy, just have your ID ready and do what they tell you. Took us about 5 minutes, and we had TWO little kids, a carseat, a double stroller ....

Happy travelin'

I second what Dandelion said! It took us maybe 15 minutes at DFW, and 20 minutes at MCO last week, and we had 4 adults, 2 kids and a double stroller!

Bumping this up to see if anyone has been lately and tell me how it was....
