Avianca VIP Lounge Diamond
★3.4(148 reviews)MDE · Main Terminal · airside
Medellín's newest premium lounge — hot buffet and private workspaces, opened October 2024.
Opened in October 2024, the Avianca VIP Lounge Diamond — Sala VIP Diamond — at Medellín's José María Córdova International Airport is the airport's newest premium space. It sits airside near gate 3, after passport control and security. It's an exclusive retreat for Avianca and Star Alliance business-class passengers, as well as Avianca LifeMiles Diamond members travelling in any class of service; Star Alliance Gold members in economy use the separate Avianca Gold lounge instead. Inside, you'll find a comfortable, quiet seating area, a generous hot and cold buffet with snacks, and private workspaces for getting work done before a flight. Drinks run to soft drinks, house wine, beer and spirits, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, printing, fruit and a television rounding out the offering. It keeps long daily hours from the early morning, making it a strong choice for the first Avianca departures.
