Plaza Premium has announced that they will accept Priority Pass again.
- 39 lounges are accessible now
- Remaining 24 lounges will be accessible on 6/30/23
Plaza Premium had previously stopped accepting Priority Pass in 2021. Always good to see more lounges joining the network. I also wouldn’t be surprise if Plaza Premium lounges exit the network again in the future.

This is going to kill the Plaza Premium Lounge at MCO. Fortunately most flights do not depart Terminal C and there is no airside connection between terminals.
Only two Plaza lounges in the US are joining Priority Pass with this change lol
If the Plaza Premium at MCO wasn’t overcrowded before, it certainly will be now.
I was legit there today at MCO with my priority pass and it was empty.
I was priority there at MCO with my today pass and it was legit!
Good to hear. Last time i was at MCO i was sad there was no lounge
The Virgin Clubhouses in US are leaving Plaza Premium which is the delta between all Plaza Premium in US and the two you called out: MCO, DFW
Capital Venture X cardholders still have access to virgin clubhouses. https://viewfromthewing.com/capital-one-retains-access-to-u-s-virgin-lounges-despite-management-turnover/
It’s beneficial if you fly JetBlue or other airlines out of Terminal C. For most airlines, you have to take the tram from the main terminal, walk through a parking lot, go through security just for Plaza Premium. Not sure if people have that much time just for that lounge since they’ll have to head back to the old terminal and go through security again.
Three USA lounges. MCO, EWR, DFW
Another strike on Venture X now that all PP will be accepted.
Yeah, definitely a bummer. I’ve been using my Venture X to use these lounges the past few years, since the PP lounges are often too crowded.
And VX has zero restaurant now
Those strikes don’t matter in the long run or even much in the short run.
Plaza Premium will drop Priority Pass again in a year or two, and you can go back to raving about how much more awesome Venture X is compared to Amex/CSR.
