Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Lounge

Two 24h W Lounge products — watch Federal Police windows

Both PP W Lounge listings show 00:00–23:59. Domestic access at the Gate 10 hybrid room can be cut ~2 hours before international departures for Federal Police checks.

Living HNK is a US$28 dining credit — not inserted as a lounge.

Find it

Gate 10 hybrid vs Gate 4 domestic

Gate 10: intl after security in front of control area; domestic after Federal Police counter. Gate 4 domestic: after security/passport near food court.

Confirm which W Lounge listing your PP app shows for your boarding pass.

Alt

Living HNK is a dining credit, not a lounge

PP offers US$28 off the bill at Living HNK (domestic, opposite Gate 3, 24h) as an alternative experience — not a lounge row here.

Unused credit is not refundable; excess bill is yours.

Ground

About 12 km from Belém centro

Official airport page: Av. Júlio César, Val-de-Cães; ~12 km from the city centre.
