MCO does not publish an authorized public checkpoint feed that we can read, so the range above is Ave Rides trip-planning guidance based on this airport's typical checkpoint patterns for this hour — not a measurement of the line right now. Confirm before you leave at orlandoairports.net (Orlando International Airport) or in the free MyTSA app.
