Itaú VIP Lounge at ASU is still a bit of a mystery
Priority Pass, bank programs, and airport maps all mention an Itaú VIP Lounge at Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, but there’s almost no solid, recent detail on layout, food, or crowd levels. It’s listed within the main passenger facilities of Terminal 1 (T1), yet exact location markers like “near Gate X” or “opposite security Y” don’t show up in the usual frequent-flyer reports.
The airport itself only operates from a single terminal, so any Itaú-branded lounge will sit somewhere in T1, post-security for international and domestic departures from ASU. That means you don’t need to guess a terminal, just factor in the usual 60–90 minutes pre-flight for check-in and security before you go hunting for the VIP entrance with Itaú signage.
Access rules are unclear: some travelers report Itaú bank cards unlocking VIP rooms in South America, and Priority Pass lists a lounge option at ASU, but there is no reliable confirmation that the Itaú VIP Lounge accepts walk-ins for cash payment or day passes. If you rely on bank or lounge programs, check your specific card’s benefits page before heading to the airport and screenshot the line that mentions Paraguay or Silvio Pettirossi.
Opening hours also vary by source, with some airport lounges at ASU quoted as roughly matching the first and last international departures of the day, often spanning 04:00 to 22:00, but no official Itaú-specific timetable appears in public schedules. Build at least a 2–3 hour window instead of cutting it close, so you are not counting on a lounge that might already be closed.
Because there are no consistent reviews naming specific snacks, hot dishes, showers, or alcohol brands at the Itaú VIP Lounge, it’s hard to rank it against generic ASU options listed on Priority Pass. Treat it as a bonus if your card gets you in, rather than the backbone of your airport plan for a 3–4 hour layover or an early morning flight.
Practical tip: on arrival at ASU T1, ask the first information desk or airline check-in counter explicitly for “Itaú VIP Lounge location and hours today,” then adjust your plan on the spot if they point you instead to a different Priority Pass lounge inside Terminal 1.
