How to get into lounges at UIO.
Quito is a pay-per-visit airport. Both of its lounges — Sala VIP Diners in the domestic and international concourses — sell entry to any traveller on a pay-in basis, so you don't need airline status or a lounge membership to get in. The main thing to get right is the concourse: pick the lounge that matches whether you're flying domestically or internationally, because each sits airside on its own side of the terminal.
Walk-in day pass
Both Sala VIP Diners lounges welcome pay-in guests, so you can buy entry at the door for the lounge matching your concourse. This is the primary way into a lounge at Quito and needs no membership or airline status.
Business or first class ticket
If you're booked in a premium cabin, check whether your airline offers Sala VIP access as part of your fare at Quito — arrangements vary by carrier. When it isn't included, the pay-in day pass is always available as a fallback.
Frequent-flyer status
Some airlines extend lounge access to their elite-tier and partner-alliance passengers through contracted Sala VIP space. Coverage at Quito is limited, so confirm with your carrier before you travel; otherwise the pay-in option covers you.
Match the concourse
Quito's two lounges sit airside on separate sides of the terminal — one domestic, one international. Choose the Sala VIP Diners lounge in the concourse you're departing from, as you can't move between the airside zones once you've cleared security.
