Using the Orlando airport is usually a smooth ride. The trains are constant and the signage is good. They even have a microbrewery! Other airports could learn a thing or two by how well this place is run.

I used to live in Orlando. I really, really miss the airport. So easy to get in and out of (use the Terminal Top parking!), great shopping and food to pass the time, easy and fast to get to all the gates. I wish more airport designers would study the Orlando airport design and layout.
Pros: Fast in and out, Easy to get to gates, Great shopping
Cons: none
