We have a 4:20pm flight out of Orlando, what time should we be at the airport? Our airport in Baton Rouge is small and we can get through security and to the gate in under an hour with time to spare. Also, I need to know, so I can figure out when to return the rental car. Please help.:D
 
It really depends on the day. Weekends through Monday are worse, as well as morning flights. For a 4:20, I would allow at least 1 1/2 hours.
We have a flight out at 11:20 on a Monday morning and our limo driver is picking us up at 9:00. You also need time to turn your rental in.
 
I would allow 1 1/2 hours. Better to have a few extra minutes in the airport than rushing to get there or through security.
 

Southwest told us to get to all airports at least one hour early, EXCEPT MCO - get there 1 1/2 hours early!!
 
We always try for at least 2 hours, especially on a Sunday. We waited as long as 30 minutes to return a car once and another time we got to the curbside check-in at SWA and it took 45 mintues to get through the line.

Security can be busy, too, but it is quite effecient at MCO.

My advice is there there early.
