From Lounges, Food & Amenities

VIP Lounge, passenger terminal, airside, departing passengers only. Open 05:00–21:00. AdP describes 22 seats, toilets, free Wi-Fi, wired and wireless charging, and flight screens. The self-service offer is mini sandwiches, Apulian focaccia, salads, fruit, desserts, almond pastries, water, wine, beer, soft drinks, and coffee. Priority Pass says complimentary alcohol is beer and wine only, and that the lounge is non-smoking, including vaping. No shower is mentioned by either source.
Access that is actually published: €25 per person bought in the lounge, children under 12 free with an adult, and Priority Pass. Maximum stay three hours. Priority Pass does not print a guest cap on the Brindisi page. Do not treat that as unlimited free guests. LoungeKey, DragonPass, and American Express are not listed.
Verdict: depends. The food is a real reason to go in for a short departure wait. The room is small, it shuts at 21:00, and a three-hour cap makes it a poor place to camp out. The operator and Priority Pass disagree on whether you reach it before or after passport control.
An Airport Pass product is mentioned in the charter, with a Fast Track component and shop discounts, via theairportpass@aeroportidipuglia.it. The charter text does not print a Brindisi price. Do not assume a bundle price.
Landside food named in the charter: Sandrino, Agorà, La Pucceria. Airside: Amore and Bottega dei Sapori. No menu prices are published in the charter. Bar opening hours matched 100% of passenger flights in the 2025 quality survey, which is a coverage figure, not a promise that every restaurant is open at 05:00.
The charter's smoking-room indicator is marked not applicable. Do not look for a smoking lounge.
