Terminal B Lounges

‍

Terminal B has the widest selection of lounges at MCO, including major airline clubs and another Club MCO location. If you’re flying out of Terminal B (gates 30–129, which include many Southwest, Delta, American, United flights), you’ll have a few choices:

‍

1. American Airlines Admirals Club (Terminal B, Concourse 3)

‍

The Admirals Club is a haven for AA passengers near Gate 55.

‍

Amenities: It spans two levels with plenty of seating, a full-service bar, complimentary snacks (like hummus, veggies, cookies, etc.), and premium food for purchase (think light meals). Business travelers will appreciate the work areas and free Wi-Fi. It’s not the flashiest lounge, but it’s comfortable and usually less crowded than the general terminal.

‍

Access: Admirals Club is primarily for American Airlines flyers. You can get in via an Admirals Club membership or as a Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard® cardholder (that card grants full Admirals Club membership)‍. AA’s elite members (Platinum Pro and above) get access only when flying internationally, so for domestic flights from Orlando you’ll typically need membership or a one-time pass.

‍

Day passes: American sells day passes (recently $79, up from the longtime $59) but availability may be limited due to capacity. Credit card tip: If you travel often, the Citi AAdvantage Executive card’s $595 annual fee might be worth it for unlimited Admirals Club access – especially at MCO if you’re a frequent AA flyer.

‍

Hours: ~4:30am – 8:30pm daily, covering the first flights out and last departures of the day.

‍

2. Delta Sky Club (Terminal B, Concourse 4)

‍

Delta’s own lounge is located near Gate 71 in Airside 4 (serving Gates 70-99). Recently renovated, the MCO Sky Club offers a stylish space with plenty of plush seating, a buffet of snacks and light bites, and a full bar (including premium spirits for purchase). They often have healthy options and locally inspired dishes.

‍

Access: Delta Sky Clubs are exclusive – you can’t buy a day pass here. To enter, you must be flying Delta that day and have Sky Club access via one of these: a Delta Sky Club membership, a Delta SkyMiles® Reserve American Express Card (or Delta SkyMiles® Reserve Business American Express Card), or The Platinum Card® from American Express (or Centurion® Card from American Express).

[[ SINGLE_CARD * {"id": "493", "isExpanded": "false", "bestForCategoryId": "15", "bestForText": "Authorized Users", "headerHint": "Invitation Only Card"} ]]

‍

Hours: ~4:30am – 9:30pm, aligning with Delta’s flight schedule.

‍

3. The Club MCO (Terminal B, Airside 4)

‍

Yes, there’s a second The Club lounge at Orlando! This one is in Terminal B near Gate 91 (also in the Airside 4 area). It’s very similar to the Terminal A Club: open to all airlines, Priority Pass accepted, day passes sold.

‍

Amenities: Snacks, sodas, beer/wine, Wi-Fi, and a quiet environment away from the gate. No showers in this one (showers are only at the Terminal A Club), but it does have a family-friendly vibe and often a kid’s play corner with some toys or a TV.

‍

Access: Same as the other Club MCO – Priority Pass members walk right in (subject to space). Others can pay $50 for a visit. Notably, because Terminal B hosts more flights (and more Priority Pass users), this Club MCO can get crowded in afternoons. They sometimes enforce a waitlist when full, especially around 3-5pm. If you have the flexibility (and a long layover), you might hop over to Terminal A’s Club if Terminal B’s is packed – but remember you’d have to re-clear security, so it’s only feasible if you have lots of time.

‍

4. United Club (Terminal B, Concourse 3)

‍

United Airlines operates a United Club at MCO, also in Terminal B (near Gates 40-49 area). It’s a bit lesser-known since United’s presence in Orlando is smaller than AA or Delta, but United flyers will find it near their gates.

‍

Amenities: Typical United Club offerings – comfortable seating, a hosted bar (well drinks and domestic beer are free, premium options for purchase), a snack buffet (usually bagels in morning, soups, salads, cheese/crackers later in day), Wi-Fi, and travel assistance desk. It’s one of the smaller lounges at MCO, but often quiet except during peak times for United flights.

‍

Access: Primarily for United passengers with a United Club membership or traveling internationally in premium cabins. You can also enter with The New United Club℠ Card (which includes full club membership).

[[ SINGLE_CARD * {"id": "2410", "isExpanded": "false", "bestForCategoryId": "15", "bestForText": "Top-tier United Card", "headerHint": "Top-tier United Card"} ]]

‍

Day passes: United sells daily lounge passes for $59 via their app or at the door when capacity allows – or you might have two free passes each year from The United℠ Explorer Card (a mid-tier card with a $150 annual fee that many casual United travelers carry). Those passes are perfect for an occasional MCO visit without needing a full membership.

[[ SINGLE_CARD * {"id": "2406", "isExpanded": "false", "bestForCategoryId": "15", "bestForText": "Occasional Travelers", "headerHint": "Best for Occasional Travelers"} ]]

‍

Hours: roughly 5am – 7:30pm (to cover United’s schedule at MCO).

Terminal C Lounge

‍

Orlando’s Terminal C is the newest addition (opened in late 2022) and currently has one lounge:

‍

Plaza Premium Lounge (Terminal C, Palm Court)

‍

This is a new, state-of-the-art lounge located on Level 2 of Terminal C’s “Palm Court” area. Plaza Premium is not tied to an airline; it’s a global lounge brand known for quality amenities.

‍

Amenities: This might be the nicest lounge at MCO in terms of decor – you’ll find a modern space with lots of natural light, plenty of seating (some with tarmac views), and a buffet of hot and cold dishes (often more substantial food than the Club lounges). They also have a full bar and luxury shower suites with spa-like feel. It’s a great option if you want to truly relax or even freshen up after a long flight.

‍

Access: The Plaza Premium Lounge is part of the Priority Pass network for some members – notably, if your Priority Pass comes via Capital One Venture X or Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can use it here. You can also simply pay at the door if space allows – expect a fee around $60–$75 for a 3-hour stay (exact pricing can vary). Sometimes it’s worth booking in advance on Plaza Premium’s website or via apps like LoungeBuddy to secure your spot.

‍

Hours: ~7am – 9pm daily, aligning with Terminal C’s flight schedules (which include many international flights by JetBlue and foreign carriers).

Our Top Lounge Picks and Tips

‍

With several lounges at MCO, which should you choose? Here are our recommendations for 2025:

‍

Best Overall Lounge (Everyone)

• Plaza Premium Lounge (Terminal C) – If you can get to Terminal C or are flying from it, this lounge offers the most upscale experience for any traveler (no airline ticket restrictions). Great food, showers, and ambience give it an edge. Priority Pass holders from many premium cards get in free – a huge perk for Orlando travelers.

‍

Best for Priority Pass Users

• The Club MCO (Terminal A or B) – Both Club locations welcome Priority Pass, but Terminal A’s has showers and slightly longer hours, making it a slight favorite. These are solid lounges for a quick snack and Wi-Fi before your flight.

‍

Quietest Hidden Gem

• United Club – Since Orlando isn’t a United hub, this lounge sees fewer crowds except at bank times. If you have access (via card or pass), you’ll often find a seat and calm atmosphere here, even at busy travel times.

‍

Most Family-Friendly

• USO Lounge (if you’re military) for its play area; otherwise The Club lounges which allow kids and have family seating areas. Admirals Club also has a small kids room.

‍

Early Morning Flights

• Admirals Club and Delta Sky Club both open by 4:30–5am, perfect if you want coffee and breakfast before a dawn departure. The Club lounges open at 5am, so you can also use those for early flights.

‍

Late Arrivals

• Only the Admirals Club and Delta Sky Club usually stay open until 8:30–9:30pm. If you land late and need a quiet spot, note that Terminal A’s Club closes by 10pm and Terminal B’s by 9pm. Plaza Premium in Terminal C also wraps up around 9pm. Plan accordingly if you’re hoping for a post-flight respite.

‍

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

‍

How many lounges are at Orlando International Airport?

‍

MCO has seven lounges as of 2025, spread across Terminals A, B, and C. These include airline-affiliated clubs (American Admirals Club, Delta Sky Club, United Club), two The Club MCO lounges (open to all travelers via day pass or membership), a Plaza Premium Lounge in Terminal C, and a USO Lounge for military members.

‍

Does Orlando Airport have a Priority Pass lounge?

‍

Yes – in fact it has three. Priority Pass members can access The Club MCO (in Terminal A and Terminal B) and the Plaza Premium Lounge (Terminal C) with their membership. These lounges honor Priority Pass Select (commonly provided by credit cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture X, etc.). Note that airline-specific lounges (Delta, Admirals, United) do not accept Priority Pass.

‍

Can economy class passengers use the lounges at MCO?

‍

Absolutely. Flying economy or not having elite status doesn’t bar you from Orlando’s lounges. Methods to access include buying a day pass (available at The Club lounges and sometimes Admirals/United Clubs), using a credit card that grants lounge access (e.g. via Priority Pass or specific airline cards), or purchasing an airline lounge membership. Our guide on accessing lounges without status (see Article 2) dives into these options.

‍

Is there an American Express Centurion Lounge at MCO?

‍

Not currently. As of 2025, American Express has Centurion Lounges in many major airports, but Orlando is not yet one of them. The good news: Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders can use their Global Lounge Collection benefits at MCO – for example, they can access the Delta Sky Club (if flying Delta) and Plaza Premium Lounge with their card. Rumors have floated about a Centurion Lounge in Orlando in the future, but nothing confirmed yet.

‍

Can I visit a lounge in a different terminal than the one I’m flying from?

‍

It’s tricky at MCO. Terminals A, B, C are in separate security areas. You cannot go through security for Terminal B if your flight is from A, for instance. The exception is Terminals A and B, which are two sides of the same building – you can transit airside between certain gates (Airsides 1-4) via the tram system if you have a connecting flight. In practice, if you have a long layover, you might exit and re-clear security in another terminal to use a lounge, but it’s only recommended if you have plenty of time. Stick to lounges in the terminal from which you’re departing to be safe.
