About CCS

Simón Bolívar International Airport (CCS) is Venezuela's busiest airport and the main gateway to Caracas, and the lounges we track all sit on the international side of the building. There are four: the Italcambio lounge for SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers, Italviages for Star Alliance Gold flyers, the Italviajes Salon VIP for Priority Pass holders and pay-in guests, and the Conviasa Salon VIP, the flag carrier's pay-in lounge. There's no single membership that opens everything at CCS, so the right lounge depends on your airline alliance, your Priority Pass, or whether you're happy to pay per visit. Italcambio sits next to gate 12 and the Italviajes Salon VIP is opposite gate 24, both in the international boarding area. Clear immigration and international security first, then follow the lounge signage to the right one.

How we compile this guide

Sourced, never sponsored.

This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every Simón Bolívar International Airport lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.

Italviajes Salon VIP is the most accessible lounge at CCS — it takes Priority Pass and also admits pay-in guests, so you can get in without a specific airline or alliance. It sits in the International Terminal opposite gate 24, with complimentary snacks and drinks.

Best for SkyTeam

Italcambio

The Italcambio lounge serves SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers and those flying Business or First, sitting in the international boarding area next to gate 12. It's a calm, comfortable space with a TV room and quiet zones for unwinding before departure.

Best for Star Alliance

Italviages

Italviages is the Star Alliance option at Caracas, open to Gold status holders and Business Class passengers. A quiet, understated lounge in the International Terminal with tarmac views, a prayer room and comfortable seating away from the terminal bustle.

Best Pay-Per-Visit

Conviasa Salon VIP

Access guide

How to get into lounges at CCS.

Caracas is mostly an alliance- and membership-driven airport. Each lounge leans on a single access route: SkyTeam status at Italcambio, Star Alliance status at Italviages, Priority Pass at Italviajes Salon VIP, and pay-in entry at the Conviasa Salon VIP. There's no single membership that opens everything, so match your lounge to your airline or card before you fly.

Lounge membership

Priority Pass

Priority Pass is accepted at the Italviajes Salon VIP in the International Terminal, opposite gate 24. The lounge also admits pay-in guests, so it's the most flexible way in at CCS if you don't have alliance status.

Priority Pass
Airline status

Airline & alliance lounges

SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers use the Italcambio lounge, and Star Alliance Gold passengers use Italviages. Both also admit travellers flying in Business or First on an eligible flight. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.

Walk-in / pay-in entry

Insider tips

Know before you go.

01

Match the lounge to your alliance

  • There's no all-in-one membership at CCS — each lounge leans on a single access route, so check yours before you fly.
  • SkyTeam flyers head for Italcambio; Star Alliance flyers for Italviages — both also take Business and First passengers.
  • If you only carry Priority Pass, the Italviajes Salon VIP is your lounge.
02

Pay-per-visit options

  • The Conviasa Salon VIP sells pay-in entry, so you can get in without alliance status or a membership.
  • The Italviajes Salon VIP also admits pay-in guests alongside Priority Pass members — a useful fallback if the others don't match your ticket.
03

Find the right gate

  • The lounges sit in the international boarding area — Italcambio is next to gate 12 and the Italviajes Salon VIP is opposite gate 24.
  • Clear immigration and security for international departures first, then follow the signage to your lounge.
  • Names are easy to confuse — Italcambio, Italviajes Salon VIP and Italviages are three separate lounges with different access.
04

Timing and hours

  • Italcambio keeps long hours (early morning to midnight), while the Italviajes lounges run roughly 05:00–22:00 — check before an early or late flight.
  • Lounge space at CCS is limited, so arrive with time to spare rather than counting on a long stay.
