Brasília, Brazil · South America
A compact single-terminal capital airport that is easy to navigate and lounge-friendly outside the brutal weekday morning domestic bank, trading weak pure-airside food and no PreCheck-style lanes for solid Priority Pass options and straightforward ride-hail into the city.
Editorial 0–10 from comfort, navigation, food, transport, and disruption resilience — not a Google rating.

Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
The 24h domestic club is open during the works — only its restrooms are closed.
Priority Pass: expansion/refurb of Aeroportos VIP Club restrooms July–September 2026. Lounge stays fully open; use terminal restrooms one floor below.
Wrong stream can mean exiting and screening again — follow your boarding pass, not the crowd.
Official map: public hall, then separate domestic and international departure areas. The satellite is reversible (intl gates 27–33 / domestic 16–20). You cannot treat this as one airside walk.
Priority Pass holders should default to the domestic Aeroportos VIP Club unless they are already on a pier.
Official walk-in for Doméstica, Internacional and Express: R$300 adult / R$150 ages 4–13. The 2,000+ m² domestic club is 24h; Express is official 06:00–22:00.
Use bsb.aero contato hours as primary; treat Priority Pass midnight/24h as a listing, not the operator clock.
International official: 2h before each international flight or Polícia Federal clearance; PP lists 24h. Express official 06:00–22:00; PP lists 06:00–00:00.
BSB’s flagship 2,000+ m² 24-hour domestic lounge — the practical default. Lounge restrooms are closed July–September 2026 for expansion; the lounge stays open and terminal restrooms one floor below are the fallback.

Useful after immigration, but much smaller (415 m²) than the domestic club. Trust official hours (2h before each international flight / Polícia Federal) over the Priority Pass 24h listing.

Still officially Sala VIP BRB (720 m², 06:00–00:00) for Banco de Brasília clients. Dedicated X-ray is the advantage. Not renamed to Emerald/Advantage on bsb.aero.

Cabin, not a food lounge. PP 00:00–23:59, South Pier mezzanine between gates 41–43, 2h stay, max 1 guest. Use it when sleep beats buffet.
