Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Lounge

Domestic Advantage is 24h; intl is windowed on PP

Domestic PP listing is 00:00–23:59. International PP shows split midday/evening windows — recheck the app for your weekday.

Official airport Services page says both rooms 24h; PP cardholders should trust the PP schedule.

Find it

Domestic opposite Dufry; intl near Gates 3–4 after Duty Free

Domestic: airside 1st Floor opposite Dufry. Intl: after security and passport, near Gates 3–4 after Duty Free.

Match domestic vs international PP slug to your boarding pass.

Note

Nap room and kids play area on domestic product

PP domestic conditions cite nap room and separate children’s play area; max stay 3h.

Children under 2 free on both Advantage listings.

Ground

Airport is in São Gonçalo — not downtown Natal

Official address is São Gonçalo do Amarante (Av. Ruy Pereira dos Santos 3100). Use Coopcon taxi / Uber per official services.

Former Augusto Severo (Parnamirim) is not the commercial passenger airport.

Do not navigate to former Augusto Severo for commercial flights
No published MCT or security wait minutes
Omit invented BRL taxi grids
