What’s your airport pet peeve?
Orlando International Airport
Traveling through the airport can be incredibly stressful, but it can be made even more so when things go wrong. We’ve experienced everything from problems at security to delayed flights to heavy crowds. But one thing that probably grinds everyone’s gears? Line cutters!

Things aren’t “back to normal” in Florida quite yet.
Air travel
Two days after Florida was battered by Hurricane Milton, many of the state’s larger attractions and businesses have begun reopening. These include Disney World, Universal Orlando, and Orlando International Airport. However, while Orlando Airport is back open to commercial operation, that doesn’t mean things are going 100% smoothly.
Hurricane Milton has made its way across Florida, and as a result, Disney World and Disney Springs has been closed since yesterday, October 9th, at 2PM and will remain closed until tomorrow, October 11th, when the parks will reopen.
Orlando International Airport
Orlando International Airport remained open, but it put a pause on any and all commercial flights, only staying open to allow emergency, medical, and relief flights into and out of the airport. However, the airport just made an important announcement on when it will reopen (which might be good news to some folks who ended up stranded in Orlando due to the hurricane).

Hurricane Milton is set to roll through the state in the next few days, and businesses and residents are prepping to deal with the fallout. Theme parks have modified procedures and booking policies, while government officials are encouraging people to take Tuesday to gather supplies. But if you’re taking a flight out, what do things look like at the airport?
Airline travel is always an experience, whether that’s for better or for worse.
Be aware of travel advisories!
Luckily, there are some things you can do to make airline travel a little bit easier on yourself — and TSA PreCheck is one of them.
