Does MCO Terminal C have a lounge?

Located in Terminal C Inside Security. 2nd floor, overlooking Palm Court. Travel times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Airports may require you to re-clear security and immigration control to reach the lounge.



Yes, Orlando International Airport (MCO) Terminal C features the Plaza Premium Lounge, which opened as a flagship space to serve the new terminal's international and domestic carriers like JetBlue and Aer Lingus. As of 2026, this lounge is accessible to Priority Pass members, DragonPass holders, and certain premium credit card users (like American Express Platinum). The lounge is highly regarded for its modern design, featuring a dedicated "Palm Court" area, a curated food menu with local Florida flavors, and even a dedicated children's play zone. Additionally, in late 2025/early 2026, a new AeroClub shared lounge space was introduced to handle the overflow from increasing international traffic. If you are flying out of Terminal C in 2026, you can also access the "C-Level" terrace, which, while not a private lounge, offers a quiet, upscale seating area with high-speed charging ports and great views of the apron.
