MCO

Opened in 1942 as Pinecastle Army Airfield, later McCoy Air Force Base.

Four parallel runways, the longest 17L/35R at about 3,659 metres.

The gateway to central florida and one of the busiest leisure airports in the world. Among the busiest airports in the United States.

Orlando operates 24 hours.

Private flights use the dedicated business-aviation facilities at Orlando International Airport (MCO), where formalities take minutes rather than hours and the aircraft waits for you, not the other way round. Yes, with Orlando Executive usually faster for private arrivals to the city and convention district.

The aircraft follows the trip. Short regional hops suit a light jet, three to five hours suits a midsize or super midsize cabin, and intercontinental legs call for a heavy or ultra long range aircraft. Party size, luggage and runway performance at Orlando decide the final choice.

Charter is priced per trip, not per seat, and the figure covers the aircraft, crew, fuel, handling and standard catering. Positioning matters most: an aircraft already near Orlando costs less than one flown in for you, which is why a single fixed all-in quote is the only number worth comparing.

Often yes. When an aircraft and crew are available within duty limits, departures within a few hours are routine, and Orlando is used to short-notice movements. The pacing item is usually ground handling and permits, not the aircraft.

Fifteen to twenty minutes is typical from the private terminal, and on domestic departures even less. There is no long check-in queue, no gate walk and no boarding call.

Luggage follows the cabin rather than an airline allowance. A light jet takes cabin bags and a few suitcases, a midsize handles a full week of luggage for the party, and heavy jets swallow skis, golf bags and oversized cases. Tell us what you are carrying and we confirm the hold for that exact aircraft.

The United States requires current rabies vaccination and, for some origins, CDC import permits; pets travel in the cabin on private aircraft.

Chartering a private jet from Orlando costs from €4,500 for a short light jet hop up to €131,000 for the longest routes on this page, always quoted as one fixed all-in figure. See the full cost guide at flywithandreea.com/private-jet-charter-cost, and message Andreea for a firm figure for your dates.

About EUR 4,500 to EUR 6,000 on a light jet, roughly 0h 48m in the air. The exact figure depends on the date and aircraft positioning; Andreea confirms one fixed all-in price in writing.

As a rule of thumb, EUR 5,600 to 9,400 on a light jet and EUR 9,400 to 12,600 on a midsize, before positioning and handling. A two hour flight from Orlando covers roughly 1,300 km, city pairs like the routes listed above.

About 2h 06m wheels up to wheels down on a midsize jet, with boarding at the private terminal taking minutes rather than hours. Timings vary with winds and routing.

For one traveller on a trunk route, first class is usually cheaper. For a family or a team, once you divide the aircraft price by seats and count the hours saved through the private terminal, charter from Orlando is often closer than people expect, and an empty leg can beat first class outright.

It is never expected and always appreciated. Crews are professionals paid accordingly; if the service was exceptional, a tip or a note to the operator lands equally well. There is no etiquette obligation either way.
