Pro Tips
- The window bar seats at the far end offer great tarmac views and are the last to fill up. Grab one if you want to watch planes while working.
- Visit during the lunch switchover around 11:30 AM for the widest variety of fresh food options.
- If you have a long layover and need quiet, this lounge is your best bet at MCO since Airside 3 is generally less busy than the others.
- The tomato basil soup is consistently the best item on the menu. Staff members will confirm this if you ask.
