Booking Through MCO Across GDS Systems

The same availability check looks different depending on the GDS in front of you. Here's the pattern for a generic search into MCO, using MCO as the destination:

Amadeus:  AN15JULLHRMCO
Sabre:    A15JUNLHRMCO
Galileo:  A/15JUNLHRMCO

Swap in the actual origin code and date for a live search — the structure (date, then city pair) stays the same across systems.

Distance & Flight Time from Other Major Hubs

Real, calculated straight-line distances (great-circle) and a rough nonstop flight-time estimate:

HubDistanceEst. Flight Time
LHR (London)6,966 km / 4,328 mi≈ 8.2h nonstop
JFK (New York)1,521 km / 945 mi≈ 1.8h nonstop
DXB (Dubai)12,460 km / 7,742 mi≈ 14.7h nonstop
SIN (Singapore)16,654 km / 10,348 mi≈ 19.6h nonstop
SYD (Sydney)15,038 km / 9,344 mi≈ 17.7h nonstop

Flight time is a rough estimate based on typical long-haul cruise speed — actual routing, wind, and aircraft type will change the real duration.

Connection Notes for MCO

When an itinerary routes a client through MCO as a connection point rather than a final destination, it's worth confirming minimum connection time directly with the airport or airline — this varies by terminal and by whether the connection involves a change of airline alliance.
