Where we'd actually go.
Heroica VIP Lounge
The Heroica VIP Lounge is the most flexible option at CTG — it accepts Priority Pass and also sells walk-in entry, so you can pay per visit without airline status. It sits airside on the second floor of the Domestic Terminal, with a quiet, air-conditioned space and complimentary snacks and drinks.
Avianca Lounge Cartagena
The Avianca Lounge Cartagena is the airport's branded airline lounge, serving Star Alliance premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders. It sits on the second floor of the Domestic Terminal next to El Market, with tarmac views, a workstation area and complimentary food and drinks.
Avianca Lounge Cartagena
If you're flying Star Alliance and need to get something done, the Avianca Lounge has a dedicated workstation area alongside Wi-Fi and internet access, plus quieter corners away from the bar — the more work-friendly of the two CTG lounges, with tarmac views to boot.
