Orlando airports with virgin

[plutomad]

Hi there next i have booked with virgin for the first time, what airport do they fly into? last year i flew with mytravel and went into sanford which was a nice small airport and quite! also are they now fingerprinting you at imgration? Also i have to get a visa due to a speeding conviction 5 years ago, will i have to go through a different line and the same as everybody else??/

They fly into MCO which is much bigger than Sanford but I've always had a relatively painless experience going through there. Except for the security screening people. And you get to go on a little monorail ride to get you in the mood for your trip.

Yes they are fingerprinting and photographing and people with visas go through the same lines as everyone else.

Hi thanks for your reply, what does MCO stand for?? and you said except for the security screening people, what was wrong with them or were they just be offical???

Oh MCO is McCoy, Orlando - it's the main airport in Orlando. Don't ask me who it's named after though.

The security people were fine until you get to the massive line to go through the x-ray machine. Then the lot that we got were just downright mean - barking orders at people left, right and centre. Luckily we only had to endure them for a few minutes.

MCO used to be an Air Force Base. Most Air Force Bases are named in honor of the memory of fallen aviators and McCoy was no exception:

Here is a link that provides more information behind the name
