The Brightline train station in Orlando is similar to the one in Miami. More spacious, with long corridors that greet one stepping out of the elevators or escalators to the upper floor. At the desk, the friendly staff issues the ticket and one passes through security (bags are scanned). The trains have a clean, bright appearance. Seats are very comfortable. Meal service is brought to your seat, and they have a variety of offerings. I really enjoyed the trip to Miami from Orlando.

Impressive. As a first timer on the brightline I went from Orlando to Aventura and had a seamless trip. It's like preparing for a flight with less stress. The premium class is worth it, the lounge was helpful for a coffee and snack that was much needed. The boarding process was smooth and spacious. Very organized. NY could learn a lot from the brightline! 100% can't wait for this line to expand.

This was my first time riding the Brightline to Ft. Lauderdale. I absolutely loved my experience. I arrived 10 minutes before boarding closed. That was still enough time to be dropped off, check-in, get through security, find my seat and be ready to go. The Orlando station is clean, well organized and staff is very friendly. I will definitely be using this service more often. If I could give feedback, I would recommend the App show what track the train will be arriving on. It's not hard in the Orlando station because it can only go south. It was a little nerve racking for a first timer returning from the Ft. Lauderdale station. Specially for someone like me with no sense of direction and 2 trains passing by minutes apart.

I bought premium service from Orlando to Aventura. Easy drop off at the station. You have to pay for parking if you don't get dropped off. Station is clean and well organized. Could not check my giant luggage because I am getting off in Aventura and there is no luggage off there I guess so I had to lug it through the station and left it up onto the belt to go through security. Hated that but it did state that there was no luggage checked through Aventura so I guess I cant complain. Got to the premium lounge and as I was early there was plenty of seating but it filled up quickly with hardly any seating available shortly before boarding. There was beer and wine,soda coffee and water available for no charge. Also breakfast items such as mini muffins, Danish, hard boiled eggs, cereal, yogurt, waffles, pancakes and fresh fruit were available. As I was getting ready to board they were bringing out some lunch items. I only saw chicken nuggets and some candy but Im sure there were other items. Boarding was easy with premium because you get priority while there is a huge long line for everyone else. Seats are comfy and the train is clean. Wifi is on and off so that's kind of a pain if you need it for work. The literature says that all food and drinks are complimentary but there are only 2 options for "lunch" but they have lots of snacks available like chips and candy and hummus. They come around with the carts like on an airplane. The food was ok. The drinks were good, including alcoholic beverages. The ride was smooth and the attendants were helpful and personable. I would definitely do it again but not necessarily premium. The experience was good but honestly you could bring your own snacks and drinks, sit in coach and be just as happy for almost half the price. Nice not having to deal with traffic though for sure.

Whoa what a crazy Monday ! Orlando MCO was beyond pack with delays and cancelled flights that carried over to the brightline ! I'm so glad I booked my premier seat and packed my snacks because I can't remember ever seeing this south Florida evening train this pack . Service was amazing per usual and they got us boarded safely. This was my first time taking it all the way down to Miami so let's stay tuned for my Miami review !

Hello Orlando.
Terri E.

Brightline trains are top notch and a nice break from the airport chaos or driving on a long road trip. The Orlando station is huge and located inside the Orlando Airport. You have to walk through the airport to get to the car rental area if you end up getting a car rental. Otherwise, I think you can walk outside of the train station and have your friends/family pick you up curbside. Don't take my word for it as we headed to car rentals when we had arrived. The Orlando station is a beautiful and spacious setting. More retail and food/drink options. Beautiful set up. If you get a chance to ride the Brightline, it's a really nice and luxurious experience! The train stations are all brand spanking new and so clean and modern. Easy to navigate too. You can find fairly inexpensive tickets from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando pending on the time you travel. I can snag $49 one way ticket to Orlando for super early times between 6-7am or random late afternoon times. Prices range from $49 up to $124 per person each way. If you think about it, it can be equivalent to flying but without the airport hassle. Travel time is similar to driving as you have to factor in all the stops along the way so travel to Orlando is about 3 hours for a direct train. There are three main category options: Smart Saver, Smart and Premium. For example, see below on pricing difference. Prices are different pending on travel destination and times. SMART SAVER - $49 per guest For travel between all stations * No seat selection * No modifications * Cancel for 10% Brightline credits SMART - $64 per guest For travel between all stations * Complimentary seat selection between South Florida and Orlando * Modify for fare difference only * Cancel for 100% Brightline credits up to 48 hours before departure or 50% thereafter PREMIUM- $124 per guest For travel between all stations * Complimentary seat selection * Modify for fare difference only * Cancel before your trip and receive 100% Brightline Credits in your account * Extra perks If you can make it happen and take the Brightline to save yourself the long drive and to avoid any traffic, Brightline is the way to go. It's so easy and the seats are super comfy with many options to choose from. They offer free Wi-Fi on board, food and drink options too. Service is great and this is definitely a convenient option for quick travel. Highly recommended if this is your jam!

The lady who checked us in was really nice and security was easy.They had a nice premium lounge. The train is so nice and smooth. Seats were very comfortable. You get lots of nice snacks, drinks and a really good meal in premium class. Jamal was absolutely amazing. He was so patient, kind and helpful. He has a wonderful personality and is excellent at this job. He was so patient and kind with the older woman in front of us. Great guy who should train others. It was easy to get your luggage in Ft Lauderdale. You don't come into the airport. There is a train station nearby. Easy to get a Lyft outside.

I really had a great experience at the Brightline Orlando station. I was late to my original train and they were nice enough to reschedule me on the next train free of cost. The lounge area was clean and had lots of places to charge your phone and devices I ate a bacon egg and cheese bagel at Mari and it was good and fresh. The bread the bagel was very soft but not soggy. The beacon was good not the best one I've had but decent for a station. The trains are punctual. The staff in the train are very polite. This was a great option for transportation. I was able to work on the train using the free WiFi. I recommend.

The Brightline station has a beautiful white and gold entry with plenty of parking. The station itself is very spacious and has clean, modernized restrooms. My friend and I decided to take a day trip for the holiday and our mode of transportation was the Brightline Train. A few lessons learned, purchase tickets together, wait for boarding directions via announcements, and prepare for a long walk to your coach. Otherwise, it's great! We are taking an inaugural trip for the line called the Freedom Express Train, had service people, and an Olympic runner for the kickoff! From the Brightline website: "Brightline unveils a commemorative Freedom Express train, in partnership with America250, which features 10 moments in United States history. The 10-coach Freedom Express train set celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the nationwide America250 commemoration taking place in 2026." Okay, good to know. I had a chance to use the onboard Dyson restroom. Talk about sleek and the amenity of having the water dispenser and hand dryer in one spot, the sink was a new thing! There are large cartoons to assist with the use of the combo. The interior had plenty of room too! Wow! It was a great experience and the friendly staff were incredibly helpful. They could see the "lost looks" and come to provide guidance. We found that many riders were first-timers and were impressed as well. Be aware that the ride is a little pricey; however the speed and comfort are worth the price. Note, the train car seats appear and feel very well used making them a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise, I'll take the train again! Enjoy when you do!

This was my first time on a brightline and I loved the experience. This particular station stood out to me because it was much bigger than the Miami station. It was clean and had many more food options. Easy to navigate.

I've taken the Brightline between Miami and Orlando a handful of times, and the process of is always so easy. I never check luggage, so I can't speak on that experience. But purchasing a ticket, scanning on, and going through security is always smooth. Being attached to MCO makes things so easy. The station itself is clean, there are clear announcements and clear signage. The train terminal itself is small and seating is limited, especially compared to the station in Miami. I got a deal on a Premium ticket once, and the Premium lounge is quite nice with free hot food, snacks and beverages that you help yourself to. Though there weren't any vegetarian options for food in the lounge, there was one on the train itself. In the regular lounge, there is a bar towards the back and a small convenience store after you clear security which is card only. Once it's time to board, there are plenty of staff members directing you where to go.

Food before the train ride
Gina P.

I am a big fan of brightline and when the price is allowable I love their premium experience. The lounge access is great before your ride and the complimentary snacks/meal and drinks on board aren't bad either. The Orlando station is conveniently located in MCO terminal 3 which is great if connecting to catch a flight. To get to any theme parks areas you will need to uber and its a 30 min drive with no traffic and approx $35 each way. This review is specifc to the Orlando premium lounge. Prior have been to premium lounge in Miami, ft lauderdale and Boca. Some are bigger with hot food options and some have more simpler options like sandwiches and wraps. The Orlando lounge is one of the bigger lounges. I arrived around 1045 and they were cleaning up breakfast items and just put out lunch items. Available were 3 flavors of boneless chicken nuggets, hummus, macaroni salad, cheese and crackers. There were also cookies and brownies for dessert. They had a make your own fancy coffee machine, a serve yourself flavored carbonated water, a cooler with sodas, and a serve yourself draft wine and beer. A few things I noted: The cooler was fairly empty. Several shelves were empty and never restocked. They didn't have any bottled water which I have always seen at other lounges. None of the charging ports were working. I tried about 10 of them and they were all broken and non functioning. Overall it was OK. I really needed to charge my phone so it was very frustrating that so many of the ports were non functioning. If the price is right I will do premium out of MCO again but I will make sure my phone is fully charged and I have a bottle of water with me.

Miscellaneous cheeses, crackers, tortillas, hummus, egg salad, pasta salad ...

I ride Brightline frequently between Fort Lauderdale, West Palm, and Orlando, and the Premium Lounge in Orlando is easily my favorite stop on the route. You get access to the lounge with a Premium ticket, and to me it's well worth it if you have a little time to pass before your train. The lounge offers a comfortable sitting area with plenty of space to relax, plus unlimited tapas-style snacks and complimentary drinks -- including wine, beer, soda, and water. There's a while side table of desserts and other snacks too. The staff refreshes the food options regularly to keep it fresh. It's a calm, welcoming place to settle in before boarding. The perks don't end once you leave the lounge. Onboard, the Premium service continues with unlimited drinks and quality snacks throughout the ride, making the trip feel seamless from start to finish. Brightline has done a great job creating a travel experience that feels elevated without being over the top, and the Orlando lounge is a great example of that.

No this is the spot to be! The Church Street Station stop…read morehas the most to do on any of the North Bound stops from downtown Orlando to Altamonte Springs. Located in the center of Downtown Orlando, this train station is the best for events in Orlando. We took this train from Altamonte to DTO for a Solar Bears game! Theirs plenty to do in the area while you wait for the train! Plenty to see, plenty to eat and plenty of shops to spend money! They're building something next to this stop, I'm hoping it's a proper train station or some sort of outpost. Could be a food hall!

For my thoughts on SunRail, and why we should support it, read my review on the Longwood station,…read morewhich you can find here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/longwood-sunrail-station-longwood Church Street station is a leisurely 10 min. walk from the DT library, where I volunteer as a coach almost every Thursday for Mayor Buddy Dyer's Book Club (Hey how else did you figure a Seminole guy can be "Duke" at an Orange library?) One thing you might want to know about Church Street: unlike other stations (that I've used), the platforms for northbound and southbound are not directly opposite each other. The southbound platform is south of South Street, while the northbound platform is a little further north, NORTH of South Street. (I know that sounds confusing - it isn't if you read it carefully.) This is a useful fact lest you "go back to the same place" where you got off. If you're cutting it close, it might cost you 30 minutes until the next train (or 2 hours, or the next day!) I'm surprised and disappointed that GoogleMaps doesn't show this. Yes, I've submitted a "correction" request to them on 1/26/17, but it might take time for them to react and correct.
