Latin American airports can be hectic: long security queues, crowded gates, and not much space to sit down.
A good lounge changes that. It gives you a quiet seat, a decent meal, reliable Wi-Fi, and a place to plug in before a long flight.
The catch is that lounge quality across the region varies a lot. Some Priority Pass lounges are genuinely excellent, and others are little more than a few sofas and a snack bar.
This guide narrows it down to the lounges that members rate highest and that have earned recognition from Priority Pass itself.

How We Picked These Lounges
We did not rank lounges on gut feeling. Our shortlist draws on three things:
The Priority Pass Excellence Awards
Now in their 18th year, the 2026 awards are based on more than 702,000 member ratings and reviews, so they reflect what travelers actually experienced rather than what a lounge says about itself.
Independent reviews
We cross-checked award winners against published lounge reviews to confirm what you can expect on the ground.
Practical value
We looked at space, food, work facilities and whether a lounge suits families or solo travelers.
One caution: lounge awards come from member votes, so they reward consistency and service. Always check the Priority Pass app for current opening hours and conditions before you travel.
The Best Priority Pass Lounges in Latin America
Club Kingston, Jamaica (KIN)

Club Kingston at Norman Manley International Airport took the title of Priority Pass Lounge of the Year 2026 for Latin America and the Caribbean.
It topped more than 350 lounges across the region, with the ranking based on direct reviews from international travelers.
Priority Pass pointed to consistent service excellence, and that matches the lounge’s reputation: the appeal here is the warm, attentive hospitality rather than a flashy design.
Best for
Travelers connecting through the Caribbean who want the region’s highest-rated lounge.
Advantage VIP Lounge, Campinas Viracopos, Brazil (VCP)

In 2026, the Advantage VIP Lounge in Terminal 1 at Viracopos International Airport received a Highly Commended award for Latin America and the Caribbean.
Priority Pass highlighted how it combines comfort with convenience, including airport fast-track access that members mentioned in their feedback.
Viracopos is a major cargo and passenger hub serving the São Paulo area, which makes this lounge a smart stop if you fly out of the Campinas region instead of Guarulhos.
Best for
domestic travelers in Brazil who value convenience as much as comfort.
Advantage VIP Lounge, São Paulo Congonhas, Brazil (CGH)
Priority Pass named the Advantage VIP Lounge at São Paulo Congonhas, Brazil, an Americas “One to Watch” for 2026.
That award goes to lounges that have raised their standards quickly over the past year, and it says this lounge has become a traveler favorite in a short time.
Congonhas is a domestic airport close to the city, and busy business routes pass through it all day. A dependable lounge makes a real difference there.
Best for
Business travelers and anyone with a short domestic connection in São Paulo.
Advantage VIP Lounge, Belo Horizonte, Brazil (CNF)
At Tancredo Neves International Airport, the Advantage VIP Lounge in Terminal 1 won the global title in the 2025 Priority Pass Excellence Awards. Winning worldwide, across every region, is a significant achievement for a lounge in Brazil.
Awards change from year to year, so treat this award as strong evidence of quality rather than a guarantee. It is still one of the most decorated Priority Pass lounges anywhere in Latin America.
Best for
Travelers who want a proven, highly rated lounge in Minas Gerais.
El Dorado Lounge, Bogotá, Colombia (BOG)
The El Dorado Lounge is airside in Terminal 1’s international departures area, and reviewers repeatedly describe it as one of the largest airport lounges they have visited. It has been a long-standing favorite among Priority Pass members in Latin America.
What to expect, based on published reviews:
Space
Plenty of seating, dedicated workspaces, and conference facilities.
Family-friendly
A kids’ area where children can burn off energy before a flight.
Drinks
Priority Pass members have received two free drink vouchers for the general bar.
Food
Basic snacks are included, but reviewers report that the hot buffet is a paid extra (around US$11 in one recent review). Showers and massages also cost extra.
Paid add-ons change over time, so confirm what is included in the Priority Pass app. Bogotá also has airline lounges, and in the past some of them have accepted Priority Pass members, so check the app on the day you fly.
Best for
Families, remote workers and long layovers in Bogotá.
The Grand Lounge Elite, Mexico City, Mexico (MEX)
The Grand Lounge Elite in Terminal 1 at Benito Juárez International Airport was a North America regional winner in the 2025 Priority Pass Excellence Awards.
Mexico sits in the North America region in Priority Pass’s rankings, but for most travelers planning a trip through Latin America, Mexico City is the natural gateway.
If you are flying out of Mexico City, also read our full guide to the best airport lounges in Mexico City, which compares your options by terminal.
Best for
Departures from Mexico City Terminal 1.
BRT Lounge, Porto Seguro, Brazil (BPS)
BRT Lounge at Porto Seguro Airport is one of the 2026 Pioneer of the Year winners. The judges singled out its Calm Room, a low-stimulation space designed for neurodivergent travelers. The lounge was also recognized in 2025 for personal service by one of its staff.
Porto Seguro is a leisure destination, so this lounge tends to serve holiday travelers, including families.
Best for
Travelers who need a quiet, low-sensory space, and families heading home from a beach holiday.
Other Latin American Hubs Worth Checking
Not every strong lounge wins an award. If your route goes through a major hub such as São Paulo-Guarulhos (GRU), Lima (LIM), Santiago (SCL), Panama City (PTY) or Cancún (CUN), open the Priority Pass app and filter by your terminal before you fly. Pay attention to three things:
Which terminal the lounge is in
Many Latin American airports split domestic and international departures into separate zones, and a lounge in one zone may not be reachable from the other once you pass security.
Whether it is airside
A landside lounge is no use if you have already cleared security.
Recent member reviews
The app shows ratings and notes from recent visitors.
Priority Pass also lists restaurants and dining experiences at some Latin American airports, which can be a better choice than a mediocre lounge.
How Priority Pass Works in Latin America
Priority Pass sells three direct membership plans. Prices below were current in 2026, but always confirm on the official site before you buy:
| Plan | Annual fee | Member visits | Guest visits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | $99 | $35 per visit | $35 per guest |
| Standard Plus | $329 | 10 free visits, then $35 each | $35 per guest |
| Prestige | $469 | Unlimited | $35 per guest |
Many premium credit cards include Priority Pass Select membership as a perk. In that case, the card issuer decides how many guests you can bring and whether guests are free, so read your card’s terms.
Based on those numbers, the Standard plan makes sense for one or two lounge visits a year, Standard Plus suits regular travelers, and Prestige only pays off if you visit around 14 or 15 lounges a year or more.
Tips for Getting the Most from Priority Pass in Latin America
Check the terminal and airside status first
This is the most common reason travelers fail to find a lounge.
Arrive early
Lounges can limit stays to around three hours before departure and may restrict entry when they are full.
Expect paid extras
Showers, spa services and hot buffets are often charged separately, even for members.
Carry your digital membership card
Use the Priority Pass app so you are not hunting for a plastic card at the door.
Have a backup
If a lounge is full, a Priority Pass restaurant credit or a lounge day pass can fill the gap. See our guide on whether airport lounge day passes are worth it.
Flying with family?
Guest policies differ a lot between plans and card issuers. Our guide compares lounge access for families across these plans and card issuers.
Priority Pass vs Other Lounge Programs
Priority Pass is the largest independent lounge network, but it is not the only option. If you are deciding between networks, see our comparison of Priority Pass vs DragonPass. Airline lounges and credit card lounge networks may offer better facilities on specific routes, but they usually require a particular ticket class or card.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Priority Pass lounge in Latin America?
According to the 2026 Priority Pass Excellence Awards, the best lounge in Latin America and the Caribbean is Club Kingston at Norman Manley International Airport in Jamaica. In mainland Latin America, the Advantage VIP Lounges in Brazil are the most consistently recognized.
Which Priority Pass lounge in Brazil is best?
The Advantage VIP Lounges are the top-rated Priority Pass lounges in Brazil. The Campinas Viracopos lounge was highly commended in 2026, the São Paulo Congonhas lounge was named the Americas’ “One to Watch,” and the Belo Horizonte lounge won the global award in 2025.

Yes. The El Dorado Lounge in Terminal 1’s international departures area accepts Priority Pass members.
It is one of the largest lounges in the region, though some services, such as hot food and showers, may cost extra.
Is Priority Pass worth it for Latin America?
It depends on how often you fly through airports that have good lounges. If you take a few international trips a year through hubs such as Bogotá, Mexico City, or São Paulo, a Standard Plus plan or a credit card with Priority Pass can be good value. If you fly rarely, paying per visit on the standard plan may be enough.

Do Priority Pass lounges in Latin America have showers?
Some do, but showers are often a paid extra rather than part of the standard Priority Pass entry. Please check the lounge page in the Priority Pass app before relying on one.
Final Thoughts
The best Priority Pass lounges in Latin America are not always where you would expect. Brazil’s Advantage VIP Lounges keep earning awards, Club Kingston has the best overall rating in the region, and Bogotá’s El Dorado Lounge remains one of the roomiest places to wait for a flight.
Pick the lounge that fits your route, check the terminal and conditions in the app, and make sure your membership plan matches how often you really fly.
Lounge details, prices, and access rules change often. Confirm everything in the Priority Pass app or on the official website before you travel.
