Porto Alegre's international-side lounge — Star Alliance Gold and business-class passengers.
The Ambaar Lounge serves the International area of Porto Alegre's Salgado Filho International Airport, reached after security on Level 2 of the main concourse. Access is for Star Alliance Gold members and business-class passengers on an eligible flight, so it follows your status tier and cabin rather than a paid membership. The lounge has a sleek, contemporary feel with modern furnishings in neutral tones, pops of vibrant colour, soft diffused lighting and large windows over the terminal — understated and cosmopolitan, with a distinctly international atmosphere. The offering centres on complimentary snacks with a Brazilian touch, a bar with house wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks, and fast, reliable Wi-Fi. Noise levels stay pleasantly low, and the lounge is generally uncrowded outside the international departure peaks, making it a calm place to unwind before a long-haul or regional international flight.
Crowding · generally uncrowded
A workable environment with reliable Wi-Fi and power at most seats, though seating is mostly lounge-style rather than dedicated desks and outlets can take some searching. Fine for email, calls and light work before a flight.
A selection of complimentary snacks with a Brazilian twist — fresh, satisfying and varied rather than gourmet — alongside a bar with house wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks, plus hot and cold beverages including coffee and tea. A good light spread before an international departure.
