Tips
Orlando Airport Lounges (MCO): Terminal A, B & C Guide
Orlando International Airport (MCO) has lounge choices in three separate airside areas. Use your departure gate to decide: The Club Airside 1 serves Gates 1-29, The Club Airside 4 is near Gate 91 for Gates 70-99, and Plaza Premium is in Terminal C near Gate 241.
Terminal C has its own security checkpoint. If you leave Terminal C to visit a lounge in the main A/B complex, the lounge operator warns that you will need to clear security twice. For most passengers, the lounge closest to the departure gate is the only sensible option.

Other lounges at Orlando Airport
MCO also has airline-operated facilities, including Delta and United lounges in the main terminal airsides. These normally require an eligible membership, premium ticket, status or accepted partner access rather than a general advance pass. If access is already included with your flight or card, compare its gate location before buying a separate lounge pass.
When an airport hotel is more useful
A lounge suits a shorter pre-flight wait. For an overnight connection, a late arrival or an early departure, a nearby MCO hotel provides a private room and uninterrupted rest. Leave enough time for the hotel transfer and the correct terminal's security checkpoint.
