About this corridor

Flying from Orlando International

Orlando International is the gateway for Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and Cape Canaveral cruise traffic. Terminal A and Terminal C handle distinct carrier groups, with Brightline rail service to Miami launched in 2023 for $79–$199 one way (3.5 hours). Southwest, Spirit and JetBlue compete heavily on price for incoming theme-park traffic; international long-haul through MCO has grown sharply with British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Lufthansa and Aer Lingus all operating daily.

Arriving in Nassau

Lynden Pindling International on New Providence is the Bahamas' main airport, 16 km west of downtown Nassau. Taxis to Nassau and Paradise Island cost $30–$45 (fixed government rates). The route from US East Coast cities is heavily seasonal — peak winter demand (December–April) keeps fares high, with much cheaper shoulder windows in May–June and September–October when hurricane season risk pushes rates down.
