Flights from Orlando to Denver: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Orlando to Denver 
TamaraFlew with Southwest-Jul 2026
Southwest fare restrictions have become much more strict. Make sure you read the fine print.
MeghanFlew with Southwest-Feb 2026
MCO security doesn't have a mobile liquid container to drain your water bottles between the ID check and the luggage scan, you have to empty your bottles before you get in line (or drink it all before you make it to the luggage scan). Many other airports offer a space to empty your drink out, or warn you of that ahead of time, for MCO the warning didn't display until after you get through the ID check which was not helpful as there's no way to exit to find a sink once you're past that point.
