How Early to Get to MCO

How early do I need to get to MCO for a 5:20 am flight on a Tuesday in late April? I will be returning a rental car and most likely will have to check a bag with Delta. I always hate getting to the airport for an early flight and have to wait for the check in counter to open. I don't have any status on Delta or have Pre Check.

How crowded they are varies enormously. For spring break I have been there way before 7 am and the place was a madhouse, witha security lines of over an hour.

Since Easter is early this year, I would not think you should have much trouble.

4:30 at the latest. A 5:20 flight will close it's doors at 4:10 and start boarding around 4:55 depending on the size of the plane.


Man that is an early flight!!
