Where we'd actually go.
VIP Lounge Puerto Vallarta International
The airside VIP Lounge near Gates 10 and 12 is the one to use before an international flight — it adds a shower, internet and a conference room to the standard complimentary food and bar, and it takes both Priority Pass and pay-per-visit entry. The natural choice once you're through security.
VIP Lounge Puerto Vallarta Arrivals
The landside VIP Lounge on the arrivals level, just past Customs, is a place to regroup after you land — complimentary snacks, soft drinks and a full bar, open to Priority Pass members and to any passenger for a fee. Useful when you're waiting on a transfer or a later pickup.
