Visit another airside?
So next week I'm flying Jetblue through airside 1, my flight arrives at MCO at 5:01 AM, then my connecting flight departs through airside 1 at 7:29 AM. I noticed the club opens at 6AM, I've never had a connecting flight at MCO before so i'm not sure how quick security is and how frequently the trains run that early, but do you think it would be enough time for me to take a shower after a red-eye from the west coast at the lounge and get back through security at Airside 1? It sounds like TSA will let you through even though I'm not flying out of that side of the airport, right? If I just tell them it is to get to the lounge will they let me through? Thanks

I think it is, but depending on your comfort level with risk, I'd probably try to leave the lounge by 6:30. With pre-check (assuming it's open that early), security shouldn't be too bad at that hour, but keep in mind that it's a bit of a long walk. I haven't had any problem getting into the opposite airside, but I've used mobile boarding passes each time.

Hi there!
I'm considering routing my flight through Orlando instead of Miami. I will be flying from Lima on LATAM and will flying from Orlando to Chicago on American Airlines. The access rules sound confusing. Does anyone know if I should be able to access this lounge?
Thanks!

BUT, I've never arrived at MCO internationally, so I'm not sure where passengers are dumped off after passing through US immigration.

They are normally taken to the main terminal, I don't think there is an option to remain in the concourse. You would have to reclear security, assuming they would even let you back into that concourse without a boarding pass for those gates.

Hi!
I am arriving on DL from CUN (so an international flight and I will have to clear customs) in Terminal B, which is the lounge location.
But my connecting flight is on AA (out of Terminal A).
Is is there a way for me to access the lounge even though I won't have a B-side boarding pass?

I asked Priority Pass about access from the West end of the airport, and they told me that the lounge staff can refuse entry if you aren't leaving from gates 70 and above. Even with TSA Pre to make the double security transfer not too painful, you may not get access.
Sadly, I was just leaving out of Gate 10, so I could not access this lounge to check it out.

I just updated the Priority Pass app and noticed MCO now has two The Clubs! The original one in Terminal 4 (Gates 70-129), and a new one in Terminal 1 (Gates 1-29). Has anyone been to the new one yet? Pics please? And is it possible to go from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1, like we currently do to get from Terminal 3 to Terminal 4?

Yes, 1 and 2 are the mirror image of 3 and 4. As far as I know, they never force passengers to leave the secure zone going back to the terminal, like sometimes happens on 3.
