What MCO to MTY looks like
The MCO to MTY sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Orlando MCO to Monterrey MTY is a medium haul sector of 1,882 km by great circle, flown nonstop 6 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,882 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 54m.
Orlando MCO is a major hub in the network held here, 177 scheduled destinations and 539.2 departures a day. Monterrey MTY has 64 destinations and 159.4 departures a day.
Orlando carries about 3.4 times the departures of Monterrey, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Monterrey runs one hour behind of Orlando in January and 2 hours behind in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on MCO to MTY from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCO to MTY | 0.86 | 6 | VivaAerobus |
| MTY to MCO | 0.86 | 6 | VivaAerobus |
One carrier holds the sector, VivaAerobus, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
Between them the two directions put about 12 departures a week on MCO to MTY, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 54m block time on MCO to MTY. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to MCO | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At MCO before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| MCO to MTY in the air, estimated | 174 min | 7h 24m |
| Formalities at MTY | 90 min | 8h 54m |
| Delivery run in Monterrey | 45 min | 9h 39m |
| Door to door | 579 min | 9h 39m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for MCO to MTY is 9h 39m.
A courier who leaves Orlando at 09:00 local is on the ground in Monterrey at about 10:54 local and at the door by 13:09 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Monterrey, the last useful departure from Orlando is around 13:51 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 25 of them join MCO to MTY.
| Connecting at | MCO to hub, flights a day | Hub to MTY, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Houston IAH | 8.29 | 8 | 2,034 | 4h 58m |
| Cancun CUN | 2 | 14.71 | 2,444 | 5h 07m |
| Miami MIA | 11.14 | 1.43 | 2,292 | 5h 29m |
| Dallas DFW | 12.71 | 7.29 | 2,427 | 5h 36m |
| Atlanta ATL | 25.57 | 1.86 | 2,396 | 5h 42m |
| Mexico City MEX | 4 | 30.86 | 2,773 | 5h 56m |
25 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Houston IAH, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 8 times a day.
Through IAH the routing covers 2,034 km against the 1,882 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 58m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 75 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 04m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Cancun CUN at 5h 07m and Miami MIA at 5h 29m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Orlando, Tampa TPA is 130 km away by great circle and carries 130 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for MCO to MTY in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
