SAP · San Pedro Sula’s Ramón Villeda Morales (SAP) offers one of Central America’s stronger Priority Pass hour windows — Salas Internacionales VIP Club runs 04:00–01:00 on the 3rd Floor after passport. Stairs-only access and La Lima ground position are the main caveats.
XPL · Palmerola (XPL) is Tegucigalpa’s live international airport after the move from Toncontín (TGU). One daytime Priority Pass VIP Lounge at Gate 12 (08:00–19:00, 3h max) sits in a modern terminal ~80 km / 1h15 from the capital — ground access is the weak link.
