Planning bullets
How to plan MCO PreCheck
At MCO, the correct side of the airport matters.
West-side and east-side security feed different gate ranges, so match your checkpoint side to your gate range first.
If you are parking, shuttling, or checking bags, MCO can feel slower than the raw TSA number suggests.
Early mistakes on the wrong side of the terminal are usually more expensive than picking the second-best line.
Checkpoint access
Which PreCheck checkpoint reaches your gate?
At MCO, the west-side checkpoint feeds gates 1-59 and the east-side checkpoint feeds gates 70-129, so choose the side that matches your gate range.
