Does anyone know what MCO terminal / gate the Southwest nonstop to MJB generally departs from? I'm trying to strategize. We are flying out 7/5.

Southwest operates from Terminal A/Airside 2 in Rodentville.

Flight# 272 in recent days

Although it appears they seem to have favored gate 120 for this flight's departures recently, remember that they can and often do jostle gate assignments around, sometimes at the last minute.

Thanks. In looking at an MCO map, it appears there is no duty free in that section. Saying only departures from A20-29 are eligible for duty free. I was thinking about buying some gin for our outbound direct to Jamaica. TripAdvisor forum suggests top shelf stuff will be cheaper on duty free and carryon. Anyone know if Southwest international out of MCO has access to duty free shop?

Also, quick question re returning with duty free liquor from Jamaica. I believe it is 1 bottle per person. We are a family of 5 with 3 underage kids. Would we be entitled to 3 bottles or 5?

You will only be allowed one liter per adult (21+) duty free. Any more, you may be required to pay the duty. If you have just one bottle more, they are likely to waive it, but you never know.

I've not been seeing a lot of different in price between duty free and buying it at Walmart, but YMMV. I recommend visiting your favorite store before you go and snapping a photo.

Ah. Got it re import. I was thinking about duty free outbound b/c I'm not checking luggage and can't go through TSA with bottle of gin.

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but I have have two non-US passports on my reservation. When I tried to put them into the system, it looks it only accepts passports issued by the US. I can just do it at the airport, but does this info need to be put in before I can check-in?
