At the heart of Orlando Internatio­nal Airport’s (MCO) Terminal C, one of its most attractive features is the Plaza Premium Lounge. This 10,000-square-foot space is one of MCO’s best-kept secrets.

Location

Nestled within the vibrant Palm Court area on the departure level, Plaza Premium Lounge commands attention with its striking floor-to-ceiling windows, exquisite decor and prominent signage. Exclusive to passengers traversing Terminal C, the lounge caters to an array of internatio­nal fliers, with proximity to 13 airlines including Aer Lingus, Azul, British Airways, Emirates, Icelandair, Lufthansa and JetBlue.

Plaza Premium Lounge provides diverse access options. American Express Platinum and Centurion cardholder­s, as well as those with co-branded cards from Capital One Venture X, enjoy entry privileges. Additional­ly, first and business class passengers of partner airlines can access the lounge. For other travelers, one-time or multiuse passes are available for purchase online or on arrival. The lounge has also partnered with Priority Pass, which ranked this venue as the sixth-best Priority Pass lounge in the world.

The Lounge

The lounge acknowledg­es Orlando’s reputation as a family-friendly destinatio­n. Adorned with carefully curated artwork from the Orlando Museum of Art, a family area beckons youngsters with toys and engaging activities. The main area offers diverse seating options, each with internatio­nal charging ports, as well as a quiet zone for privacy and productivi­ty.
