Terminal 3’s pay-per-use VIP Service Lounge sits airside
This VIP Service Lounge Departures is inside Terminal 3 at José Martí International Airport, so you need a same-day boarding pass for an international or regional flight from T3 to use it after security.
Access is pay-per-use, so you don’t need elite status or a specific credit card; you just turn up in Terminal 3 and pay at the lounge, which helps if you’re flying on a ticket without any built-in lounge access.
Departures traffic through Terminal 3 at HAV often spikes around banked departures in the afternoon and evening, so this lounge gives you a quieter place to sit once you’ve cleared security and immigration in T3.
Because this is a departures-only facility, you can’t use it on arrival into Terminal 3 at HAV; it’s for passengers holding an outbound boarding pass that departs from the same terminal.
Prices are set on a pay-per-use basis at the door, so budget a fixed fee per person on top of your airfare if you expect to spend an hour or two inside before your flight from Terminal 3.
The name “VIP Service Lounge Departures” is what you’ll see on terminal signage in T3, so follow airport signs rather than airline branding when you’re walking through departures to find the entrance.
The lounge sits within the Terminal 3 departures footprint, so factor in the walking time from check-in through security before you head to the VIP Service Lounge and then on to your specific gate number for boarding.
One practical tip: ask staff at the VIP Service Lounge front desk in Terminal 3 exactly how long it takes to reach your assigned gate, then set an alarm on your phone so you leave the lounge with at least 15–20 minutes to spare.
