According to data released by the Orlando International Airport (MCO), more than 1.5 million travelers are expected to pass through the airport during the 13-day 4th of July holiday travel period.
There will be more than 100,000 travelers per day from June 25th to July 7th, with a peak of nearly 135,000 passengers expected on July 3rd. When compared to the same timeframe in 2019, 2021 numbers will only be off by 14% – signaling a significant return of domestic travel as international travel remains limited.
MCO suggests that passengers return to pre-pandemic travel behavior including arriving early, preparing for long lines, and anticipating traffic congestion.
