ORLANDO, Fla. – Brightline on Thursday unveiled its Orlando Station at Orlando International Airport.
The 37,350-square-foot station, located next to Terminal C, will help Brightline connect service between Central Florida and South Florida. It connects directly to the airport’s Parking Garage C — which will have more than 350 parking spaces set aside for Brightline guests — and will also provide direct access to MCO’s other terminals A and B via the Terminal Link, an under five minute journey.
Passengers will be able to purchase tickets from guest services or a self-service kiosk inside the station before entering through touchless turnstiles to the security screening tunnel.
