USO Lounge Access

Connecting Between Terminals for Lounge Access

Flights from MCO depart from 5 concourses that are accessible by riding an automated people mover (APM).

In Terminals A and B, the east security checkpoint provides access to Concourses 2 and 4 and the west security checkpoint to Concourses 1 and 3. Each concourse is served by a separate APM line, but once inside the secure area, passengers can move between the 2 concourses on that side of the airport without having to re-clear security again.

The newest line is outside of the secure area, shuttling passengers to and from parking garage 3 and Terminal C.

Best Credit Cards To Access Priority Pass Lounges

As far as credit cards that give you access to the Priority Pass lounges go, you’re going to have several great options depending on your needs. With 2 separate locations at MCO and over 1,300 other airport lounges worldwide, there will almost always be a Priority Pass lounge available to you no matter where you travel.

Our favorite option is the Chase Sapphire Reserve^® which takes your Priority Pass access a step further by including access to Priority Pass restaurants in the U.S. You might be wondering, what is a Priority Pass restaurant? Well, at Priority Pass restaurants, you’ll receive a $28 food and beverage credit towards your bill, and when you dine with a guest that number doubles to $56. So this way you can order whatever you want to eat as you wait for your flight instead of being limited to whatever a lounge has to offer.

Another great credit card option that offers perhaps the best lounge access you can get from a credit card, is the Amex Platinum card. The Amex Platinum card doesn’t just offer access to Priority Pass lounges upon enrollment, but also Centurion Lounges, Plaza Premium Lounges, Delta Sky Clubs (when flying Delta), Escape Lounges – The Centurion Studio Partner, and more!

Here are some other great credit card options that allow cardholders to visit Priority Pass lounges:

Amex Business Platinum card
Capital One Venture X card
Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant^® American Express^® Card

Final Thoughts

The lounge situation at MCO is pretty mediocre at the moment, with many of the lounges looking a little outdated, though each of the big 3 airlines does operate its own lounge, which is nice. The new Terminal C, which opened in September 2022, now provides an additional option with the new Plaza Premium Lounge.

Eligible passengers can access the various airline lounges, while any passenger can purchase entry to The Club MCO lounges. The Terminal 1 The Club MCO lounge is fairly modern with some great facilities and also welcomes Priority Pass members.

Wondering why all the clubs close so early at MCO. Most clubs at other airports stay open until 11 p.m., with some open as late as 1 a.m. Right now my wife and I are cooling heels in the food court–and it’s only 10 p.m. Does Orlando really roll up the sidewalks so early?

It’s 11 pm and I’m stranded at MCO terminal B until 10 am. I can’t get into the lounge because they’re all closed since 10 pm. There should be another way.

I contacted the terminal C lounge at MCO and they said Venture X is NOT accepted (I,e. Priority pass) so perhaps you may want to research this one again – they stated only AMEX lounge benefits

Hi Malaika,

That is a Plaza Premium lounge, not Priorty Pass, but I believe the person you spoke with may have been misinformed as the Venture X card offers access to select Plaza Premium lounges, including the one at MCO.
