As hurricane season peaks, airports temporarily close down for safety reasons. For Floridians, this is nothing new. Small airports, in particular, shut down to avoid disaster, but some larger airports, such as Orlando International Airport (MCO), remain open due to their large capacity. This does not mean they become shelters, nor does it mean flights run on schedule. It does mean the airport has a greater chance of operating if conditions are deemed acceptable.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, those who have to travel through these harsh conditions have the choice of either being dropped off by a friend or a rideshare app or parking near the airport. Those choosing the latter may want to take that extra second to consider where exactly they want to park, especially for long-term trips.<\/p>\n

Although only a couple of hurricanes make landfall in Florida a year, it\u2019s never a bad idea to plan ahead, especially if you have a trip longer than a week. Hurricanes can make landfall within 48 hours, so knowing where to park is sometimes crucial if you frequently use Orlando International Airport. In 2017, Hurricane Irma thrashed Florida and forced over 30 percent of all residents to evacuate, the largest evacuation in U.S. history.<\/p>\n
