Airports and airlines are beginning to adjust their health and safety regulations as events unfold. Restrictions are easing up on international travel and airports are implementing new protocols. Just this week we reported on a fancy new system that monitors crowd levels and cleaning frequency. Guests visiting Florida for a trip to Disney World will have more flight options if they choose to fly with Frontier Airlines.
Traveling can be very stressful, especially right now.

That’s why many locations like the Orlando International Airport (MCO) have put several health and safety measures in place. Their employees are required to wear masks, and MCO will soon be among the locations to offer rapid testing for COVID-19 on-site. Now, the airport is piloting a new system to help guests stay physically distanced while at their gate, and we’ve got the details!

This holiday season is sure to be a strange one as the country continues to grapple with the global health crisis. The holidays tend to be a time for travel so that family and friends can come together.
Flight from Orlando
We’ve already seen this with crowds in Disney World this week (until today that is), and Disney Park Pass reservations have begun to fill up for the weeks surrounding Christmas. As COVID-19 cases continue to be a concern, airlines are preparing for a busy holiday season while wrestling with health and safety concerns.
Thinking of heading to Orlando for Thanksgiving or the holiday season?

You may be thinking that the parks will be totally empty given the global pandemic and recommendations that some states have made to limit non-essential travel, but Disney has reported that Thanksgiving week capacity is almost at 100% and now Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings has also indicated that, despite travel warnings, people are still traveling to Orlando.
File this under “Not Surprising At All,” but holiday travel this year is expected to look a LOT different. And by that we mean a LOT less people will be doing it.

What would normally be a HEAVILY trafficked time at Disney World is likely to look quite a bit calmer (despite the fact that Thanksgiving Park Passes are filling up), as evidenced by the projections coming from Orlando International Airport.
Listen, traveling to Walt Disney World is EXPENSIVE. Between buying your theme park tickets, grabbing ALL the snacks, and getting some cool commemorative merch, it really adds up!
