MCO question - direct route from Southwest gates to EA please

[paras4ri]

We've done this several times but always seem to get lost. We're flying Southwest and not checking luggage. After we leave the shuttle in the main terminal where do we go to get to National/Emerald Aisle? I know the garage is across the street, but from what level?

All advice is much appreciated!

You'll need to take the tram from the gate area to the main terminal. From there, go down to level 1 and cross the street (use the door across from the National counter). On A side, National is 1 floor up, to the right.

Thanks - that's just the info I needed!

Wow.....I'm impressed......you're not checking luggage....mind if I ask how you're managing that with the new TSA regs in place? I'd love to be able to not check anything when we go in October, but, the only way I can think of to avoid that is by shipping everything that's on the prohibited list and I don't really want to do that......

I go under the street and then up to Nat'l. Your way sounds like less escalators and stairs...more direct. I'll try it next time!

We're only staying 4 nights so we're taking small bags and don't want to wait for luggage on the way to Disney!!! Since we'll have a car we're making a quick stopping at a Publix we know in a neighborhood where my IL's used to live and pick up the necessities our hotel does not provide. On our way home we will check a bag, and bring home what we bought, because our home airport is much smaller than MCO and also because we won't be in as much a hurry to get home.
