Star Alliance opens new lounge at Sao Paulo airport

Brazil's Sao Paulo airport gains Star Alliance lounge.

There is now a new lounge at San Paulo–Guarulhos Airport in Brazil.

It is the fourth lounge to be opened by Star Alliance rather its member airlines, and follows the same concepts as the initial lounges in Los Angeles, Paris and Buenos Aires.

The lounge at Terminal 3 is a 1,350-square-meter lounge and can accommodate up to 295 guests.

Sao Paulo is Brazil's largest city and that has meant creating a very Brazilian look and feel, reflecting the strong artesian heritage of the country.

There is much use of wood, rope, natural fibres and typical ceramic finishing bring cosiness to a sophisticated interior and provides a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere to customers, said Star Alliance.

There are four shower suites, three computers, free wifi and wireless printing.

Lounge access is granted to passengers leaving on Star Alliance member airlines in First or Business Class or holding Star Alliance Gold Status. It is open daily from midday to 3am.
