Curitiba Afonso Pena Airport Lounges

• —Single-terminal airport — all four lounges are in the one building
• —Advantage VIP Lounge is after security, on Priority Pass or a paid walk-in
• —Break Travel Lounge is the DragonPass option
• —VIP Lounge Inter and Bradesco Lounge are reserved for eligible bank cardholders

The Advantage VIP Lounge welcomes all passengers for a fee, regardless of class of service, so you can pay per visit without any membership or status. It's the most open way into a lounge at Curitiba.

Priority Pass is accepted at the Advantage VIP Lounge, which sits after security at Curitiba. Present a valid membership card with your boarding pass; coverage at CWB is limited to this lounge.

Priority Pass

DragonPass opens the Break Travel Lounge in the International Terminal area. If you carry DragonPass rather than Priority Pass, this is the lounge to head for at CWB.

DragonPass

Two Curitiba lounges are private bank clubs. The VIP Lounge Inter welcomes Banco Inter customers with Mastercard Black and Win cards, and the Bradesco Lounge is for holders of eligible charge and credit cards issued by Bradesco. Bring the qualifying card to get in.

Curitiba is largely a domestic and regional airport without dedicated branded-airline lounges, so a premium-cabin ticket alone doesn't guarantee lounge entry. The most reliable routes here are Priority Pass, DragonPass, a paid walk-in or an eligible bank card.

The walk-in route

• —The Advantage VIP Lounge sells entry to any passenger for a fee — the simplest way in if you don't hold a membership or a qualifying bank card.
• —It's also your Priority Pass option, so the same lounge covers both pay-per-visit and Priority Pass holders.
• —Booking or checking the day-pass price ahead of time can save you paying a higher rate at the door.

Match the membership

• —Priority Pass works at the Advantage VIP Lounge; DragonPass works at Break Travel Lounge — they cover different lounges here.
• —If you carry both memberships, you have two lounges to choose from at CWB.
• —The bank lounges (Inter, Bradesco) won't accept a lounge membership — only their own eligible cards.

Bank cardholders

• —The VIP Lounge Inter is for Banco Inter customers with Mastercard Black or Win cards.
• —The Bradesco Lounge is a private club for holders of eligible Bradesco charge and credit cards.
• —If you don't hold one of these cards, the Advantage VIP Lounge is the lounge open to you.

Plan for a small airport

• —Curitiba is a compact, mostly domestic airport, so the lounge field is small — don't expect a large independent or airline-lounge scene.
• —Mind whether your lounge is before or after security; the Advantage VIP Lounge is past the checkpoint.
• —At busy departure banks the lounges can fill quickly given how few there are, so arrive with time to spare.
