Read on to learn about MCO’s airport lounges and how to access them with a Priority Pass membership.

Does MCO have Priority Pass accessible lounges?

MCO has three lounges in the Priority Pass network. Each lounge is family friendly, and children under two receive complimentary access.

Below are details about the locations and amenities of each one:

The Club MCO – Terminal A Concourse 1

This Club lounge features sleek and modern designs complemented by a warm color palette, inviting you to feel the luxury. Take a seat amongst any of the spacious and comfortable furnishings. Amenities include a workstation with a PC and printer, as well as a complimentary shower facility.

This location of The Club is located on the main concourse of gates 1-29. This location is accessible to all passengers with a boarding pass to those gates; passengers not departing from gates 1-29 will need to pass through security and allow sufficient time to reach their departure gate.

The Club MCO – Terminal B Concourse 4

Comfort and variety are staples of this lounge's design, and the amenities are plentiful. Large windows enliven the lounge, where you can focus in a quiet area or chat up friends and other guests elsewhere. There's also a conference space, workstations with computers, showers and a kids' area.

This location is near gate 91 and accessible from gates 70-99. This location is accessible to all passengers with a boarding pass for those gates; passengers from other departing gates should leave time to pass through security.

Plaza Premium Lounge Orlando – Terminal C

Because Orlando is a popular spot for family vacations, this lounge is designed with family in mind. But if you’re traveling for business or want a quiet space to relax, there’s also a dedicated “quiet zone” with views of the tarmac. Other amenities include a kids’ entertainment space and luxury washrooms like spa-like shower facilities.

The Plaza Premium Lounge can be found on the second level of Terminal C, near gate 241.

How to access Priority Pass participating lounges at Orlando MCO

There are a few ways to access lounges in the Priority Pass network at MCO:

Enroll in a membership with Priority Pass

Beyond the signature benefit of airport lounge access, there are other valuable benefits that accompany a Priority Pass membership. The network is constantly evolving to include amenities like spas and retail offers in airports around the world.

There are three different Priority Pass membership plans that may suit different types of travelers. Each plan has an annual fee and provides access to the lounges in the Priority Pass network, including at MCO. However, fees per member visit and guest visit may apply.

For example, a Standard membership has fees for each member and guest visits. Meanwhile, the Prestige plan doesn't have fees for member visits but does have fees for guest visits.

Activate the complimentary Priority Pass membership with Sapphire Reserve

If you have a Chase Sapphire Reserve^® credit card, you can enroll in complimentary Priority Pass Select membership. Priority Pass Select is a membership tier for customers of a U.S. bank or financial institution. Annual credit card fees may apply.

To begin using your complimentary Priority Pass Select membership, log into your Chase Ultimate Rewards® account for one-time activation. You will then receive your membership card in the mail and through the Priority Pass app.

Get a single-use pass

Travelers can access either location of The Club at MCO with a single use Club Pass, available on The Club’s website. You may also buy a single lounge pass (or a pack of lounge passes) for the Plaza Premium Lounge location.

You may consider this option if you're not a frequent traveler but still want to indulge in some R&R before takeoff. Note that you may need to book your stay in advance on either The Club or Plaza Premium Lounge’s website.

Travel tip for Orlando visitors

Our important tip for going to Orlando is to carry an umbrella. Florida may be known for sunshine, but the weather can actually be quite unpredictable. Many of the city's attractions are outside—zoos, historical sites, modern shopping outlets, nearby beaches, downtown Orlando and more. Having an umbrella can help you avoid a dampened day on an otherwise wonderful trip.

In summary

Orlando is a famous vacation destination served by a vast international airport. Although many of the nearby attractions may be the reason for your travel, the Priority Pass network of airport lounges within MCO could enhance your experience. 

You can access the Priority Pass network of lounges in MCO with either a single-use pass from The Club, the Plaza Premium, or a Priority Pass membership. You could enroll in a membership directly through Priority Pass or get a membership and airport lounge access as one of several travel perks of the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card.
