Advantage VIP Lounge
★4.1(425 reviews)SDU · Advantage VIP Lounge
The early-opening Priority Pass lounge at Rio's downtown airport — quiet, modern and serving from 04:30.
The Advantage VIP Lounge sits landside at Rio de Janeiro Santos Dumont, before the security checks and directly opposite the Bradesco Lounge. It's the airport's Priority Pass lounge and leans calm and modern — soft lighting, comfortable seating and a low noise level that make it an easy place to decompress before a flight. Refreshments include snacks with a bar pouring complimentary soft drinks, house wine, beer and spirits, and there's Wi-Fi, flight information screens, newspapers and magazines, a conference area and air conditioning. It opens early, at 04:30 daily through to 22:00, which makes it a reliable choice for the first Rio–São Paulo shuttle departures. Stays are capped at around three hours, and children under two are admitted free.
Crowding · moderate
A workable quiet spot with Wi-Fi, flight information and a conference area, though it's pitched more at relaxing than working. Fine for email and a call before a flight.
A light food offering paired with a fuller bar than the airport's other lounges: snacks alongside complimentary soft drinks, house wine, beer and spirits. It's geared to a relaxed pre-flight drink rather than a meal, which fits the quiet, unwind-before-you-fly mood.
