GAP’s VIP Lounge Tijuana sits airside immediately to the right after the main security checkpoint. Priority Pass lists it 00:00–23:59 with a 3-hour maximum stay; GAP states 24-hour operation that may vary with flight schedules. The same lounge program advertises a complimentary Exclusive Security Checkpoint (24h) for passengers with carry-on luggage only — approach before main security via the corridor next to Carl’s Jr., then the 2nd floor immediately after the escalator, with a valid lounge card/digital card and boarding pass.

Amenities on GAP/PP include courtesy snacks, standard alcoholic drinks (PP), Wi-Fi, conference facilities, disabled access, and a kids/gaming area (GAP). Showers appear on some Priority Pass locale pages and the Amex lounge listing. Smoking is a documented conflict: GAP promotes an exclusive smoking area while Priority Pass conditions say no smoking including vaping — PP holders should assume the PP rule.

This is the only lounge on the live Priority Pass TIJ index on research day 2026-09-11. Third-party claims of Aspire Lounge (CBX) or a separate Volaris VIP room were not corroborated by PP or GAP VIP pages and are not listed here. Day-pass dollar amounts appear only on secondary sites and are omitted. Verdict is depends: useful for PP access and the exclusive security lane, but a single mid-size lounge without first-party HA F&B notes is not an automatic worth-it.
