Orlando,
FL – November 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / Airport
Lounge Development Inc. (ALD), the leading developer and operator of
independent shared-use lounges in the U.S., announces the official opening
of ‘The Club at MCO’ in Orlando International Airport. ALD’s global network
now includes 11 clubs, available to all travelers, regardless of airline,
class of service or affinity membership. The new lounge underscores ALD’s
commitment to continued expansion in the U.S. and beyond.
As
airports continue to search for ways to enhance its passenger experience,
and other lounges within the airport become more inclusive and difficult
to access, ALD is prepared to more than double its Club network. ALD has
rapidly expanded its lounge portfolio by more than 200% in the past two
years, and plans for several new locations are in development for the coming
year.
Whether
visiting one of the many popular resort destinations or traveling for business
in the booming Central Florida region, ‘The Club at MCO’ offers travelers
an oasis of comfort and relaxation from the otherwise hectic and stressful
airport terminal environment.
“With
international traffic composing over 12.5 percent of the airport’s overall
traffic, Orlando International Airport is the ideal location for our newest
lounge. In addition to offering a lounge solution to all travelers, ALD
also provides airport lounge services to multiple international airlines
that want a lounge product, but are not in a position to operate their
own lounge,” said Nancy Knipp, senior vice president of ALD. “An increasing
number of airports across the U.S. are implementing ALD’s shared-use lounge
product to accommodate the growing number of international airlines in
need of a lounge solution, and travelers looking for an alternative to
exclusive and expensive lounge products.”
‘The
Club at MCO,’ located at Airside 4 near gate 91, provides a variety of
services and settings tailored to the needs of all travelers, including
social spaces, areas for dining or cocktails, quiet zones to relax or conduct
business, a children’s zone, and a resting zone to catch a quick nap before
your flight. The 8,000 square-foot lounge will be open daily from 6:00am
– 9:30pm. Lounge highlights include:
-
The Productivity
Zone features a laptop bar, printer, and two private rooms suitable for
a conference call or private work, and all of the spaces are furnished
with adjacent outlets for easy access to power.
-
Private
restrooms with showers are ideal for travelers transiting through MCO on
long layovers, or in preparation for long-haul flights.
-
A children’s
zone with Xbox games and TV.
-
Access
to a variety of amenities including complimentary snacks and beverages,
high-speed Wi-Fi and bar service.
The Club
at MCO’s warm taupe, green, and gold hues accented with soft grey carpeting
create a warm soothing environment that naturally put a traveler’s mind
at ease. Walls are clad in richly textured wall coverings, and display
framed images by Orlando photographers Laurence Taylor and Chris Casler.
“We
welcome customer service amenities designed to serve our growing domestic
and international passenger needs, and we are excited to partner with ALD
to bring their network and experience with lounge management to serve and
accommodate our airport’s growing passenger levels,” says Frank Kruppenbacher,
Chairman of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
Travelers
looking to experience the sanctuary and comfort of an airport lounge can
visit ‘The Club at MCO,’ or any of the other 10 lounges in ALD’s global
network, including the recently opened ‘Aspire, the Lounge and Spa at LHR
T5’ located at London Heathrow Airport. Priority Pass, Priority Pass Select,

Those without memberships can purchase day passes online or in the club
for $35.
