1st time landing in MCO direct (sort of)

So managed to get a good price on indirect flights via FRA with overnight - so the next day it's a direct flight from FRA to MCO
(so I'm counting it as a direct flight - Yay!)

We've only ever flown indirect via other US airports so I've never cleared immigration in MCO and panicking a bit about 2 hours plus in immigration queues.

Since we've flown to the US before we can use the kiosks - so how long is it likely to take in MCO?

Looking at arrivals it appears that the FRA flight arrives 10mins before other UK flights into MCO so this should help ..right?

Thanks for any replies!

How long is a piece of string.
Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer.
All depends on how many flights arrive at the same time. Just because the are scheduled to arrive at different times, doesn't mean that they will.
It's all just pot luck!

You’ve got to find your zen and just zone out until it’s over. It will take as long as it takes.

Pot luck. Our flight last year was due to arrive just after a BA and Virgin so I was dreading it. Then we left like 20 mins late so was really dreading it. Sat front of aircraft so one of the first off and to our surprise we arrived to an empty arrivals hall! Literally walked straight up to the desk and done.

But where there waiting for what felt like an eternity waiting for our luggage. A good 30-45 mins. The virgin and ba flights arrived and the hall was packed but surprisingly their baggage arrived onto the belts before ours so some of them who arrived later, were out before us. So you can never judge it!

As I've said maybe 20 times on here on the same question.

One thing I've learnt after 72 years on this planet is not to stress about things over which you have no control.

It will be 15 minutes or it will be 2 hours. We've experienced everything in between.

Next time I'm mentally cursing my way through immigration I'm going to remember this 😂 Best MCO advice I've heard yet!

I mentally prepare for a two hour wait, anything less is a bonus. It’s one of the reasons we never plan anything on arrival day. Just land, clear immigration, check in, food and sleep. That way, I don’t feel I’ve missed out on anything.
