Miami Central: One-way Brightline Train from Orlando International Airport

Additional Information & Description

Brightline from Orlando Airport to Miami Central

The Brightline train from Orlando International Airport to Miami Central makes the journey in approximately three and a half hours, reaching speeds of up to 125 mph. It takes you between the two cities without driving through traffic or arranging a rental car for this leg of your trip.

The service departs from Orlando International Airport (MCO) and ends at Miami Central. That destination matters when planning the rest of your journey: this is a station-to-station rail trip, rather than a direct transfer to a Miami hotel, beach or cruise terminal.

What your ticket covers

The booking includes a one-way high-speed train ticket for the Orlando-to-Miami route. Plan any return journey separately; this ticket covers travel in one direction only.

Onboard storage is included for bikes and carry-on luggage. That gives you space for the belongings you bring on this rail journey, rather than having to keep everything at your seat.

Comfort during the journey

Leather seats with ample legroom and an air-conditioned carriage provide the setting for the roughly three-and-a-half-hour ride. You can spend the journey seated rather than concentrating on the road, a practical difference from driving between Orlando and Miami.

High-speed WiFi is included onboard, so you can stay connected during the trip. USB charging and power outlets are also available, with power outlets at each seat. Keeping a phone or other device charged is particularly useful if you will need it for directions or travel arrangements after reaching Miami.

Departure and ticket access

The starting-point address is 10705 Jeff Fuqua Boulevard at Orlando International Airport. Arrive one hour before departure. Build that hour into your plans alongside the train journey itself, especially when arranging how to reach the departure point.

Tickets are delivered instantly and can be presented on a smartphone. Keep the ticket accessible on your device for travel. The service is wheelchair accessible.

Continuing from Miami Central

Miami Central is the arrival point for onward travel within Miami. PortMiami and South Beach are possible next destinations, but reaching either requires a separate leg after you leave the train. Make those onward arrangements around the rail journey’s approximate duration, rather than treating arrival at Miami Central as arrival at your final destination.
