Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont Airport Lounges
Santos Dumont Airport · Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Santos Dumont (SDU) is Rio's downtown airport, right on Guanabara Bay, and it keeps things compact with three lounges. All sit landside, before passport control and security, so you settle in first and clear the checkpoint after. Coworking - Latitude takes DragonPass, the Advantage VIP Lounge takes Priority Pass, and the Bradesco Lounge serves cardholders.

Santos Dumont Airport lounges by terminal.
Main Terminal
Santos Dumont is a compact single-terminal airport on Guanabara Bay, best known for the busy air shuttle to São Paulo Congonhas. All three of its lounges sit landside, before passport control and the security checkpoint, so you can use them while you wait and clear security closer to boarding. Access splits cleanly by membership: DragonPass at Coworking - Latitude, Priority Pass at the Advantage VIP Lounge, and a Bradesco cardholder lounge.

How to get into lounges at SDU.
Santos Dumont is a membership-led lounge airport rather than an airline-lounge one. Each lounge maps to a single route: DragonPass opens Coworking - Latitude, Priority Pass opens the Advantage VIP Lounge, and the Bradesco Lounge is for eligible Bradesco cardholders. All three are landside, so you reach them before clearing passport control and security.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at Coworking - Latitude in Terminal 2. It's the only DragonPass lounge at SDU, so if you carry the membership, that's your spot — landside, before the gates.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the Advantage VIP Lounge, the lounge opposite the Bradesco space and before the security checks. It opens early at 04:30, useful for the first São Paulo shuttle departures.
Priority PassBank cardholder lounge
The Bradesco Lounge is a private club for holders of eligible Bradesco charge and credit cards. Access is tied to the card rather than a lounge-network membership, so check your Bradesco card's benefits before relying on it.
Know before you go.
Everything is landside
- —All three SDU lounges sit before passport control and security — use them while you wait, then clear the checkpoint closer to boarding.
- —Because they're landside, leave enough time to pass security after your lounge visit, especially at the busy shuttle peaks.
Match the lounge to your membership
- —Access is one route per lounge: DragonPass for Coworking - Latitude, Priority Pass for the Advantage VIP Lounge.
- —The Bradesco Lounge is for eligible Bradesco cardholders only — not a general pay-in or network lounge.
- —If you only carry one membership, check which lounge it opens before you arrive.
Early starts and the shuttle
- —The Advantage VIP Lounge opens at 04:30, earlier than Coworking - Latitude's 06:00, which helps on the first São Paulo shuttle flights.
- —Santos Dumont is busiest around the Rio–São Paulo air shuttle banks; arrive ahead of those if you want a quiet seat.
Know the stay limits
- —Both Coworking - Latitude and the Advantage VIP Lounge cap visits at around three hours.
- —At the Advantage VIP Lounge, children under two are admitted free — handy if you're travelling with an infant.
