Guests at The Club MCO
As per the title, are guests allowed into the Club at MCO? Our friends are travelling on same BA flight but have no status and are travelling WT+. We are BA silver and are travelling in CLub. It would be great if we could guest them in to the lounge as we can do in the BA lounges here in the UK.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks
I checked the BA lounges information and saw no exclusion but wondered if anyone had some direct experience. Its never great being turned away and having to do the walk of shame.

Apologies and I wasn't if you'd seen that but have. I'm sure someone will be along shortly who has recent experience and the thread is very accurate I believe so please if you can do report back how you got on as I am sure that will be warmly appreciated and every data point is useful

Was there last weekend. Guested my daughter in without issue, all in PE.
Not a bad lounge, really. G&Ts and wine flowing nicely
Also some tasty sandwiches, soup and snacks on offer.
Only complaint was that it was too warm in there. Mentioned this to the staff, but it didn't cool down whilst we were there.

May I ask under what circumstances were you declined access? For example, were you flying BA at the time, armed with a oneworld Emerald/Sapphire card or ticketed in CW or First?

I wasn't impressed by this facility. The old Delta Crown room wasn't great either, but on balance I think I preferred it. To be more specific, it was a crowded space with limited/almost no spaces to sit comfortably - we sat on seats against the curved wall of a kind of corridor looking at a seating area opposite us that was cramped and crowded. Food was very limited (as it was in the old lounge) and drink service at a manned bar (ditto). Just underwhelming really. At least the Delta Crown room felt more spacious, even if it had a less modern look.

I guess I wasn't denied necessarily, but the lounge was at capacity so I would've had to wait in line to get in. At that point I decided to just wait in the gate area which was considerably less crowded.
