Most important tips

Know before you go

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

Lounge

Advantage Regular is the true overnight play

Airside Advantage lists 00:00–23:59; Fast Track entrance only 04:00–22:00.

Outside Fast Track hours, use the airside Regular Entrance for lounge-only.

Find Advantage

Food Court airside vs National Boarding landside

Regular: airside 1st floor next to Food Court. Fast Track: landside next to National Boarding access.

Domestic / in-transit passenger types on PP.

Intl lounge

Lounge Azul closed from 24 Jul 2026

Priority Pass previously listed Lounge Azul (intl) with permanent closure from 24JUL26 — not inserted as open.

Do not plan international PP coverage at VCP on that closed product.

Ground F&B

Official portal + PP dine vouchers

Viracopos services page lists restaurants/shops; PP also indexes dine experiences (not inserted as lounges).

Expect a large Campinas hub F&B set vs inland secondaries.
