No PP

Do not plan Priority Pass at BVB

No live PP / LoungeKey sala VIP for Boa Vista on research day.

Wise (2025/26 framing) and VINCI guides: essential café/food court only.

2024 works

Expanded lounge + food court

VINCI completed modernisation Oct 2024 — larger departures, arrivals, baggage, food court.

12 new check-in counters; free unlimited Wi-Fi airport-wide.

Food court

Modernised food court, no card lounge

Use the expanded food court rather than expecting a PP pin.

Bring snacks for dietary needs — regional F&B still modest.
