Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Lounge

Advantage airside is the true 24h PP room

Advantage VIP Lounge lists 00:00–23:59 airside. The Fast Track entrance only admits 04:00–22:00 — outside those hours use the Gate 2 airside entrance.

Ambaar T1 is also 24h for domestic; Ambaar T2 follows international flight schedules.

Terminals

Terminal 1 vs Terminal 2 Ambaar are different products

Most PP inventory sits in Terminal 1. Ambaar Terminal 2 is international near Duty Free with flight-linked hours.

Ambaar T1 is domestic-only after check-in/X-ray.

Watch-out

Ambaar T1 alcohol is beer/wine-first

Priority Pass: complimentary alcoholic beverages limited to beers and wines; wine and spirits served from 11:00.

Advantage lists standard complimentary alcohol; Plus Area subject to availability.

Ground

Confins is remote — plan the city link

Official site highlights rental cars and Conexão Aeroporto buses to Pampulha, the rodoviária, and Av. Álvares Cabral.

Bus desk hours cited as ~05:00–00:50 on BH Airport services page — confirm live.
