Walt Disney World
 
We're heading to Disney in February for the school break and are flying down. What are some of the other area airports we should look at besides Orlando?

Thanks!

It really just depends on how far you are willing to drive. Have a look at the mileage on a map and then see if your hometown airline flies to any city you are considering. Tampa is probably the closest, but its still a bit of a drive. Are you looking to save money on the airfares? I've never found the airfare to be cheaper into other cities than going to Orlando.

There is also Orlando Sanford Airport but it is small, so there are far fewer flights that go there and they may not be direct. I agree with TC that Orlando International will probably be cheapest but also the best as far as choice of times because of the volume of flights there.

From where are you flying, and are you finding difficulty getting the fares & flights you want into Orlando?

As TC stated it really depends on how far you want to drive, and also what other parts of Florida you want to visit. If you plan to go to the beach you could include airports such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Meyers, and Tampa. Miami has a lot of flight options, the other 3 less so.

Google maps is your friend for calculating driving distances.

Orlando fares are usually rock bottom = unless there is a low cost ariline with your city as it's hub.

Others (Tampa) are considerbly further - and flight usually much more.
