W Premium Lounge

Three-hour cap, 24/7 access, and the main paid lounge in T1

This W Premium Lounge sits airside in Terminal 1 near Gate 14, and for domestic departures it’s basically the default paid option: open 24 hours, Priority Pass/Amex/LoungeKey accepted, or walk-up around US$45 for a 3-hour stay (booked ahead often closer to US$40 through third parties).

You clear domestic security in T1, turn toward Gate 14, and the lounge entrance appears on the airside concourse, so factor in only 5–10 minutes from most domestic gates; it’s much closer to the mid-teens gates than to the low single digits.

Food runs as a hot and cold buffet with typical Brazilian lounge staples; think small hot dishes, basic carbs, and snacks rather than a full restaurant, and drinks include alcohol at the bar plus soft drinks and coffee included in the entry price.

Wi‑Fi here is genuinely fast by Brazilian airport standards, with enough bandwidth for video calls, and almost every seating zone has power outlets, which is why business travelers use it as a workspace for 2–3 hours before evening departures.

Showers exist but are not free; expect to pay extra at reception per session, so if you only have the standard 3-hour access window, it makes sense to shower first, then sit down to eat and work instead of burning your last half hour in line.

The lounge operates 24/7, but it fills up heavily during evening domestic banks, and LoungeReview regulars mention that at peak times it can be hard to find a seat within 5 minutes, with some people hovering for spots near power.

Regulars often pre-book via LoungePair for early morning or mid-day slots when the space is calmer, then treat it as a fixed 3-hour block: 30 minutes for a proper meal from the buffet, followed by roughly 2 hours of laptop time in the quieter work or conference areas.

Watch out for the value equation: showers are paid, stay is capped at around 3 hours, and day passes walk up to about US$45, so if your layover is under 90 minutes or you don’t need Wi‑Fi and outlets, the terminal’s public seating and paid cafés might make more sense.

One practical tip: if you need a conference room or one of the more private work pods for a call, ask at reception as soon as you enter, then claim your seat before you even glance at the buffet; those workspaces usually disappear first during busy periods.
