Admirals Club

Admirals Club at Galeão International accepts 3 access programmes: Airline Access, Oneworld Emerald / Sapphire, Paid Walk-in. 1 of the 3 access rules here is airline- or cabin-class-specific, so a boarding pass in the right class can be enough on its own. Each rule on this page lists its own guest policy and any spend or cabin conditions attached to it.

Admirals Club operates 14:00-23:30 daily. Lounges frequently close earlier than posted on quiet days and during terminal works, and last entry is often 30–45 minutes before closing — check before a late or early connection.

Admirals Club is in Terminal 2 at Galeão International (GIG) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, operated by American Airlines. Lounges sit airside, so you must clear security — and in most cases be in the same terminal — before you can use it.

It depends which rule you enter on — 2 of the 3 access rules at Admirals Club permit guests. Guest allowances are set by the programme, not the lounge, so the same lounge can admit your partner free on one card and charge on another.
