Super Bock Lounge

Every “Super Bock / ANA / Airport Lounge” sign here points to this one room

Near gates 31–32 in Porto’s main terminal you’ll find the Super Bock Lounge, which is the same shared contract lounge airlines label as “ANA Lounge” or just “Airport Lounge.” Almost every full-service carrier and most card programs feed into this single space, so set expectations accordingly: one lounge, many logos, limited charm.

The lounge sits before security, upstairs toward the end of the main Schengen area, and opens roughly 04:00–22:00 daily. Because it’s landside, you still need time to clear security afterward; for a Schengen flight out of gate 31 at 08:00, you really want to walk out of the lounge by 07:15. Signs from the central check‑in hall point clearly to “Lounge” and “Super Bock.”

Access comes via airline status, premium-cabin boarding passes, and schemes like Priority Pass; walk‑up entry is also sold at the door. That mix is why regulars complain about crowding: one FlyerTalk review calls it “dreadful…overcrowded” because nearly every airline uses it and paid access is stacked on top. If you’re flying TAP, BA, AF, KL, or similar, this is the place you’re being sent.

Food runs basic: think a couple of cold cuts, small pastries, crisps, and maybe soup at peak times, plus the expected Super Bock beer taps and standard spirits. Reports from 2023 place choice firmly in “limited” territory, so eat properly in the main hall if you care about a meal. Treat the lounge more like a bar with snacks than a full dining room.

Facilities lean bare‑bones. There’s Wi‑Fi, power outlets scattered along the walls, and views across the apron near the 30s gates, but there are no showers at all. Several FlyerTalk and Facebook comments also mention “grubby” or worn seating, so don’t plan to spread out with a laptop for a four‑hour layover here.

What regulars do: time it tight. A TAP forum regular suggests arriving around 90 minutes before a domestic departure, which leaves roughly 30 minutes in the lounge after check‑in and security. Many status flyers pop in for a beer and a quick snack, then head to the gate to avoid the worst of the crowding.

Tip: if your flight departs from a gate below 20 and your stay is under 20–30 minutes, sit near the lounge exit and watch the time; the walk back through the terminal plus security can easily eat 15 minutes in busy morning banks.
