How do you get to MRO Americas?
From Orlando International Airport (MCO)
- MCO is Orlando's main airport and the usual choice for MRO Americas, with a short drive west to International Drive
- Taxis, rideshare and pre-booked shuttles all run from the terminals to the convention centre area; allow extra time at evening peak
- Orlando Sanford (SFB) handles some low-cost and charter flights but is a much longer drive to International Drive
- Many hotels on International Drive are set up for convention traffic, so check whether yours offers an airport or convention shuttle
Arriving by car
- International Drive runs past the convention centre and is easily reached from Interstate 4 and the Beachline Expressway
- Parking is available at the convention centre, but if your hotel is on International Drive a short taxi or rideshare usually saves time
- Orlando's toll roads are common around the airport and convention area, so check how your hire car handles tolls
- Morning traffic on International Drive builds before the halls open, especially on Tuesday
How do you get around during MRO Americas?
Getting to the West Concourse each day
- The organiser gives the address as the West Concourse, 9800 International Drive, Orlando; check your badge email for the entrance you need
- Badge pick-up opens on Monday 12 April from 08:00 to 18:00, which is the easiest time to collect it before the show
- Exhibit halls are open 09:00 to 17:30 on Tuesday and Wednesday and 09:00 to 13:00 on Thursday
- Taxi and rideshare drop-off is the simplest option from most International Drive hotels; LYNX public buses also run along the corridor
Around Orlando
- Orlando is spread out, so a hotel within easy reach of International Drive avoids long daily transfers
- Restaurants, shops and evening venues line International Drive, which makes it easy to host client dinners near your hotel
- Lake Buena Vista and the Universal area are a short drive from the convention centre and often offer more suites and family rooms
- Mid-April in Orlando is warm and can bring afternoon showers, so pack light clothing and a compact umbrella
Do you need a visa for MRO Americas?
Visa-free / visa on arrival
- Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries, including the UK, Ireland, most EU states, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, can attend a trade show for up to 90 days with an approved ESTA instead of a visa
- Apply for ESTA online through the official US government site well before travel; it is usually decided within 72 hours and stays valid for two years or until your passport expires
- Canadian citizens do not need a visa or ESTA for a short business visit like this one
eVisa / visa required
- Most other nationalities, including India, China, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa, need a B-1/B-2 visitor visa, which involves an interview at a US embassy or consulate
- Interview waiting times vary a lot by country and can run to months, so start as soon as you decide to attend MRO Americas
- If you have been refused an ESTA or are not eligible for one, you must apply for a visa instead; some nationalities also face extra US entry restrictions, so check before booking
Documents to carry
- Bring your MRO Americas registration confirmation; exhibitor staff should also carry a company letter describing their role at the show
- Have your return flight and hotel booking to hand, as US border officers often ask about the purpose of your trip and where you are staying
- If you are bringing aviation parts or tooling for your stand, check US customs rules for samples and temporary imports in advance
Entry rules change often; check current requirements on official US government sources or with your nearest US embassy before you travel.
First time at MRO Americas?
- Collect your badge on Monday afternoon if you arrive early; Tuesday morning queues are the longest of the week
- Thursday is a half day on the exhibit floor, closing at 13:00, so set meetings for Tuesday and Wednesday and plan flights home accordingly
- Use the show agenda to pick conference sessions in advance; MALMS runs at the same venue on the same dates if you work in military aviation
- Book hotel nights from Monday to Thursday at least, and change the dates in the search if your team arrives earlier for build-up
Insider tips from repeat attendees
- Exhibitor badge holders can usually enter the hall earlier than visitors on opening day, so stand teams benefit from staying closest to the venue
- Exhibitor teams often split: managers near the convention centre, technicians a little further out where room rates may be lower
- Because the show rotates, colleagues who went to a Chicago edition will find different travel logistics in Orlando; share this guide with them
