Flying to Orlando’s Sanford Airport
June 13th, 2006 by tisnerFlying to Orlando Florida is easy. You can fly into Orlando Florida without going to Orlando Airport. Sanford Airport is also open for business on the east side of Orlando Florida.
Although Orlando International Airport, OIA, is most often the airport people fly in and out of, the Orlando Florida area has a second, smaller airport, too. This is the Orlando Sandford Airport located a little further north of the City. To get there you take Exit 50 off I-4 and go east on Lake Mary Boulevard or, alternately, take Exit 49, Lake Mary Boulevard off State Road 417. Information on the airport, designated as SFB, can be found at their website http://www.orlandosandfordairport.com
Truthfully, neither I nor any of the other real estate specialists at The Orlando Avenue Top Team has ever flown in or out of this airport. We hear though that it’s easy and convenient and lines for ticketing and security are short.
This is a growing airport with several regularly scheduled arrivals and departures each day along with specially chartered flights. At the end of March, Icelandair announced regularly scheduled non-stop flights to Iceland and to several European destinations via Iceland. Flight schedules can be found at http://www.icelandair.com
Recently, flyglobespan announced non-stop flights to Scotland. Additional information is waiting to be had at http://www.flyglobespan.com Within the continental USA, Allegiant Airlines, based in Las Vegas, is now flying into Sandford from several of its mid-sized cities. To check the schedule, the website is http://www.AllegiantAir.com
Here is a fact: In 2005, Sandford Airport served 563,931 domestic passengers and 1,085,306 international passengers. We at The Orlando Avenue Top Team serve you, too. Whether you are buying or selling a primary residence or vacation home or looking for the right investment property, The Orlando Avenue Top Team can help you with all your real estate needs.
