Indirect flight, return leg query

[NikkiT]

Quick question ...

We are flying MCO-PHIL-MAN In October for our first indirect flight.

On our return leg from MCO to PHIL how long before our flight do we need to check in? I am wondering is it classed as a domestic or international flight? So would it be 3 or 2 hours minimum?

We usually arrive 4 hours before on our way out and obviously want to leave enough time on our return but we also don’t want to leave the parks too early on our last day to wait for hours in an airport.

Any advice please Dibbers?

Thanks Nikki x

Did this flight 2 years ago. First leg is a domestic, but you won't see your luggage until back in Manchester.

I checked in 2hrs prior to the flight, just to allow for MCO Security and before that the massive queue to check luggage onto the Delta flight from MCO-PHI. Didn't have much time in MCO before the flight departed.

Have you planned on eating at PHI ? Try Chickies and Petes Crab Fries if you get a chance. There's also a good Irish bar near to the Departure gate for MAN.

Thanks that’s what i was hoping for we have a 4.30 flight so will aim to leave the parks by 1.30 means at least we can visit one of them in the morning before we leave 😢
