The airport is located at One Jeff Fuqua Boulevard, which is just twelve miles south-east of Orlando, nineteen miles north-east of Kissimmee, and twenty miles north-east of Lake Buena Vista, home of Walt Disney World. Forty domestic and international carriers service the airport, offering direct flights to eighty-four cities in the United States and thirty-four destinations abroad.

Parking at Orlando Airport

There are a variety of parking options at Orlando airport, ranging from kerbside valet parking at $25 per day to the North Park Place economy lots at only $10 per day. If you have an early morning flight, consider spending the night at the on-site Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport, which offers short- and long-term parking for hotel guests for $12 to $16 per night. All parking rates at Orlando airport include applicable taxes. There are several off-site parking options that offer free shuttle service to the airport, but they are not always as affordable or convenient as what you will find at the airport.

Ground Transportation in the Orlando Area

Orlando's public bus system is the most economical way to get to the airport, as it offers one-way rates of $2 from downtown Orlando and $4 from the Walt Disney World theme parks. If you are carrying a lot of luggage, consider using Mears Transportation (407-423-5566), which offers shuttle services for $18 to $29 from downtown Orlando. A taxi is the most convenient option, and you should expect to pay a flat rate of $35 from downtown. While you're thinking about transportation, head over to ebookers and reserve a rental car that you can pick up at your final destination.

Restaurants at Orlando Airport

While you're waiting for your flight, grab a bite at one of the airport's many eateries. The level 3 food court is home to Starbucks, Krispy Kreme, and Seattle's Best, while the individual terminal areas offer restaurants such as Au Bon Pain, Brioche Doree, and ZaZa Cuban Coffee. Grab something on your way to the airport by stopping at one of the nearby restaurants such as Dixie Belle's Café at 7125 South Orange Avenue or Dunkin Donuts at 10395 Narcoossee Road in Orlando.

Chicago is a city of opposites, its restaurants being equally notable for cutting-edge cuisine as for down-to-earth fare. There are sandy beaches, summer outdoor festivals and bars that buzz until the early hours of the morning. The Art Institute of Chicago is the United States' second largest art museum and is home to a fabulous array of treasures. Not to be missed, are its impressive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings and the Miros and Picassos located on the third floor. The Chicago Skydeck is on the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower and, as the third tallest building in the world, it offers some spectacular views of Chicago. Those who are not afraid of heights can stand on the glass balcony which extends out from the side of the building offering a breath taking vertical view of the city below.
