I think the only lounge is after security however with all the changes to the airport I would not take that as a 'for sure'. We booked day rooms at the Hyatt in the airport, do this often. It gives us a place to drop our luggage and take a breath before our flight. Not sure what time you can pick up your key though, we never get there before 10ish. After taxes it was $229.50 so not cheap but someplace out of the open.
Why does the lounge need to be "before security"?
I don't believe so.
I checked out a day room. It’s 10am-6pm and $212. By 10 she will only be using it for 2 hours, so not worth the money. I think I will give them a call though to see if she could get in right when she arrives.
She will have her luggage and she’s got a lot…been away for nearly 3 months
I still don't quite understand as I'm thinking she would want a lounge after she is free of bags. Either way, I'm sure you will be happy to see her when she arrives home.
Her employer makes all the arrangements and she has no say in it. She will be arriving at the airport approx 7 hours before her flight and can’t check her bags until 3 hours before her flight. She needs somewhere to go for that first 4 hours. She’s had this same itinerary before and it was hard to hang out in the airport for that long. There aren’t any quiet places to sit. This time wandering around to kill time or even just to try and find a quiet spot is not an option. She’s got 3 bags…last time she had one.
Because you generally cannot check your bags until three hours before departure. And, of course, cannot go through security until you check your bags.
Yes you can access Plaza premium using Visa Airport Companion but it's only at Terminal C in Orlando.
