Orlando Sanford International Airport
Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) is an alternative gateway to the Orlando area, located in Sanford about 18 miles northeast of downtown Orlando. It is especially appealing when the flight schedule fits your plans—and it places historic Sanford, Lake Monroe, and Central Florida nature close to the start of your trip.
Airlines and Flights
SFB has been strongly associated with Allegiant Air and has also handled international, charter, and seasonal carriers. Airline lineups and routes can shift significantly, so verify current service directly with the airport and airline instead of relying on an older route list.
Parking and Transportation
Parking options near the terminal serve short and extended stays, with economy choices and shuttle service available in some areas. Rental cars, taxis, ride-share services, public transportation, and selected hotel shuttles can connect you with Sanford and greater Orlando. If theme parks are your destination, compare driving distances before choosing between SFB and other regional airports.
Accessibility
The airport offers accessible parking and restrooms, wheelchair assistance, visual and auditory aids, and service-animal relief areas on both sides of security. Contact your airline in advance for wheelchair or boarding assistance, and allow extra time if you need specialized support.
Enjoy Sanford and the Outdoors
Historic Downtown Sanford is full of personality, with independent restaurants, shops, galleries, and the scenic RiverWalk along Lake Monroe. The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens adds an easy family outing nearby. For a refreshing nature day, Wekiwa Springs State Park offers trails, paddling, and swimming when conditions and capacity allow.
Orlando Attractions
Downtown Orlando’s dining and entertainment are within reach, along with Central Florida’s headline attractions: Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando. Travel times vary with traffic, so leave room in the schedule.
Before flying, check the official Orlando Sanford International Airport website for current airlines, parking, terminal information, and ground transportation. With the details handled, SFB can be a relaxed launch pad for a memorable Central Florida visit.
