Yes, you can loop around. Note that from the other side, you can sometimes get dumped landside depending on timing of international flights.

Thanks again. It's a nice surprise that the airport website has such useful info!

Visit another airside?

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.

Plenty of time, but I'm not sure TSA will let you in. Depending on how you're planning to access, it states pretty clearly on the Priority Pass website that access is not possible if traveling from Airsides 1 or 3.

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!

LAN/TAM use gates 70-99, which are the terminal where The Club @ MCO is, American is not.

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?

Sadly, I was just leaving out of Gate 10, so I could not access this lounge to check it out.
This would seem to violate PP's own rules that say you just need a same day boarding pass regardless of airline, assuming that you can get to the door of the lounge.

Yes, but it would mean clearing TSA at least twice.

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.

Great news! And that's correct, since there aren't international CBP arrivals on that side of the airport, there's not forced exiting of security when switching from one airside to the other.

Has anyone used the PP lounge at MCO and taken guests in using their CSR card?

Just wanted to make sure MCO didn't self-impose any limits. I have myself and 3 accompanying family members flying to London in September.
