Thanks!
The reason you had to do this in the past was you were mixing with out going passengers in a 'sterile' security area. Now we don't do this, then I suppose it is considered safe. We have been doing this in Tampa for years now. |

It would appear its for anyone, this is the reply I got to my email.
Thank you for contacting Orlando International Airport.
Correct! Returning your baggage to the baggage belt to have it transferred to the Main Terminal is now optional. Rolling bags and those small enough to carry may now be kept with you.
Enjoy your stay!

| That is of course for those using Terminal B.
Those using Terminal A(which has no immigration/customs facilities and is used for indirect flights from UK on some airlines)
still have the same procedure i.e. shuttle to main airport and pick up baggage there.
I assume the Disney rail link will serve both terminals? | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

On your web site you say at one point
International Only: After clearing Customs, place your baggage on the baggage belt and it will be transported to the Main Terminal.
Proceed up the escalator to the Departures Level (Level 3) where you will pass through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoint before entering the hub of the Airside Terminal.
I understand that this may have changed?
Reports mention that if you have a wheeled case you can now take your baggage direct onto the train to the main terminal, and not have to place it on the baggage belt.
Can you confirm this is now correct please?
Regards
Ian Whitley
