Orlando International Airport is the busiest airport in the state. More passengers fly into this airport than any other in Florida. Thirty four million people visit this popular tourist destination each year. The airport is located close to Kennedy Space Center and is designated at an emergency landing site for the Space Shuttle.

Prior to the construction of the airport, the land was an Air Force Base. The Orlando Jet Port was later added as a small airport on the base. In 1975, the airport was constructed on the site. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority was formed to manage the airport.

Orlando International Airport consists of one main terminal building. People movers are used to bring passengers to the four terminals within the main building. When you arrive at the airport, you will need to go to the north side of the building. Check in and baggage claim areas are both located here.

Tips for Orlando International Airport:
Security is a big concern in the post 9/11 world. Security is tight at this airport. You will need to arrive early to allow time for security procedures. Be sure to have two forms of identification with you. Pay for your tickets with a credit card and bring it with you to help avoid hassles on your trip and to ensure you have the proper identification.

Plan to be at the airport two hours before your flight departs. This allows you plenty of time to check your baggage, get through security and find your gate. Since this airport is very busy, lines can get long. This is especially true during busy travel times. Confirm the status of your flight before you leave home. This can be done on the Internet or by calling the airline prior to leaving home.

Airport officials offer tips for keeping your baggage safe at the airport. Keep your bags with you at all times. Never set your bag down and walk away from it when waiting in line or at the gate. Don't accept any packages or items from anyone you don't know. This will prevent anyone from tampering with your luggage. Unfortunately, in today's world, these measures are necessary for your safety and the safety of your fellow passengers.

Renting a Car at Orlando International Airport:
Once you arrive at the airport, you may want to rent a vehicle. Many hotels and resorts offer shuttle services to the airport and to certain parks and attractions. If you plan to spend all of your time at the resort and parks, this may be sufficient. However, if you want to spend time outside the parks, you may want your own transportation.

There are six rental companies located at the airport for convenience in renting a car. In addition, there are seventeen companies located off the airport, but nearby. Courtesy shuttles are available to these airports. To get the best deal, compare prices from each company on the internet. Prices vary depending on the type of car you are renting and the time of year you will be visiting Orlando. Once you find the best deal, reserve your car online.

Starting a 501C3 to help low income households with unexpected medical bills for pets
By: Roseann | 23-07-2008
I'm considering starting a 501C3 where donated funds will go toward paying for medical treatment for animals that are either strays (ie no individual responsible) or are owned by people that don't have the resources available to cover unexpected illnesses. In addition, this would allow veterinarians who would offer substantial discounts and/or free services to be able to deduct the fmv as a charitable contribution (and therefore be more willing to provice these services). Does anyone know if an organization already exists that does this in this area (Orlando, FL)? Or have any advice (other than the normal how to start a nonprofit websites) in relation to this? I don't want to step on anyone else's toes or take away from other, very needed, rescue organizations, but this seems to touch a separate need out there. Thank you.
