    Excellent arrivals lounge

    great for arrivals. After long flight from UK and early morning arrival, used the lounge for few hours as hotel check in time was later. Lounge easy to find from arrivals terminal, staff welcoming. Use of the shower facilities on arrival was a blessing. There are private rooms to rent for a few hours, there were nine available. But the shower failures and use of lounge was perfect for a few hours. The lounge area is small, has a few TV, snacks to order - sandwiches panini, coffees wine Fridge with juice, water, beer all included in price. Would recommend the lounge

    Great find in Rio GIG airport!

    Amazing if you are passing through, or you had a long wait until your flight. We had 10 hours waiting for our flight, and it was a real lifesaver to find this priority lounge. The even have rooms that you can rent by the hour… we paid $60 USD and had a room with a bathroom and shower, exceptional food and service. It was worth every penny and it’s propably one of the cleanest lounges we have been! It’s hard to find it but, it’s worth it! It’s on landslide, in the first floor of the parking garage as you exit door D.

    5 Star shower!

    After disembarking a cruise ship and tour that ended at 1:30 with a flight not until 9 and the bag drop not open until 5, this lounge provided the perfect interim hangout. I used the lovely shower. Miguel A. was extremely helpful. The snacks are limited but can't beat the price when you have nowhere else to go with a shower, drinks and snacks included.

    Worth every penny!

    Reading some of the negative reviews on here, I think miss out on that the price and convenience of this was absolutely great! Alcoholic drinks and food was included, and the location was clean and comfortable. My only issue was that it seemed very very popular and was practically full, but it was so much better than waiting in the standard airport area where the chairs were uncomfortable, noisy, and there were several panhandlers that were overly insistent on the "necessity" of my shoes needing to be shined (new balance mesh runners?!) and demanded payment regardless. Would very much recommend, and suspect that having to pay for only 3 hours was mostly due to the popularity. If I were to return I would gladly pay the amount (35USD, but you could get a 35% discount signing up for smart traveller app). Only regret is we didn't make the choice to stay longer (we had a 10hr wait for our flight before the Gate was opened).

    Pleasant surprise as we awaited our check in.

    Miguel the manager and team provided excellent customer service. Food are prepared hot as you order and not buffet style which makes it special. Coffee was excellent and the variety of drink options alcoholic or non alcoholic.

    Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.

    Is Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.2/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge?

    +

    Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Rio de Janeiro RIOgaleão - Tom Jobim International Airport Plaza Premium Lounge?

    +

    Included: Wi-Fi connections & Flight information; Hot and cold buffets; Non-alcoholic drinks; International TV channels, newspapers and magazines; and Tea and coffee.
