Orlando International Airport liquids and security rules
Flying from Orlando? Here is what Orlando International Airport states about liquids and electronics in hand luggage.
100 ml limit
Orlando applies the national TSA 3-1-1 rule: liquid containers of 3.4 oz / 100 ml or less in a single quart-sized clear bag. In a standard lane you take the bag and your laptop out; the airport's own advice is that TSA PreCheck members do not have to.
| Liquid container limit | 100 ml limit |
| Clear plastic bag needed | Yes |
| Liquids can stay in your bag | Not stated |
| Laptops can stay in your bag | No |
What this means at Orlando International Airport
- MCO's website moved to flymco.com. Its FAQ gives no liquid figures and says: 'Please see the TSA "Can I Bring" web site for details of permitted and prohibited items' (https://flymco.com/faq/).
- MCO states of TSA PreCheck: 'no need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts or light jackets' (https://flymco.com/speed-through-mco/).
- MCO PreCheck lane hours are given as 4:00 am to 8:30 pm; the enrolment fee is quoted as $85 for five years.
- MCO Reserve lets travellers book a free timed slot for the TSA security queue.
- CLEAR+ operates dedicated lanes at MCO; Mobile Passport Control is available for arriving international passengers.
- MCO does not mention CT or 3-D scanners, so whether any Orlando lane lets liquids or laptops stay in the bag is not stated by the airport.
- Medically necessary liquids, breast milk, formula and baby food exceed the 3.4 oz limit by national exemption; declare them.
