There were plenty of quiet and beautiful spaces to sit and relax. The food options were also pretty good. I decided to take shower so I can relax during the flight. You have to ask for keys from front desk but the showers were pretty big and clean. I would highly recommend this lounge if you have layover in Sao Paulo!

I had…read morethe fortunate opportunity to visit the LATAM lounge a few times when flying back to the US with Delta (who operates mostly red eyes from GRU). The times when I visited the lounge, it was fairly packed with many noisy American folks heading back to Atlanta, NYC, or Boston on Delta. Despite the apparent chit chatter, I was still able to enjoy my time here. Access to the LATAM lounge can be have any substantial status with LATAM or Delta. For Delta members, if you're Gold or higher and flying either DL or LA internationally, you get access. There's also an option to pay to enter if you don't have status. I believe there's other ways to get in (DragonPass for example), but I am not too sure of those specifics since it didn't apply to me. Most recently, they served one of my favorite dishes- seafood moqueca! It was tasty and reminded me of how I cook mine - with the right amount of umami, dende oil, coconut flavor, and hint of sour from lime. A pretty excellent execution on one of my favorite Brazilian dishes! The shower facilities are also nice. There's quite a few shower stalls... but usually there is a wait, so make sure to put your name on the list for a shower when you check-in up in front. Hope to be back here again next time I'm in São Paulo!

There is a shower, but you will have to ask staff members to use it. For the bar, the bartender isn't always around so you will have to wait. They have kids coloring books! Good air quality/indoor circulation!

We had some Brazilian beer & cheese bread, bread was so tasty & the beers really hit the spot after the long travel. There were plenty of options for food & shopping, my only complain would be having the Latam lounge closer it was like all the way on the opposite side & since our time was limited we just couldn't waste the time looking for it. Overall decent airport with plenty of options.

Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo is huge. They have expanded it since my last visit…read moreand now have Terminal 3 for International flights. Terminal 3 is modern, has lots of places to buy food, drinks, and gifts both before and after you go through security. Both my arrival and departure went smoothly. Upon arrival you first go through immigration, then pick up your checked bags and then go through customs. I was surprised that all was rather easy. Of course, you need a visa before coming to Brazil from the USA. I usually go use the services of Travel Document Systems in Washington DC to obtain my visa because they check your application, help you revise anything that may need correction, then walk it through the embassy for you. TDS has always done an exceptional job and this time was no different. I had my visa in record time via email. When I departed São Paulo, I arrived to the airport very early (to avoid problems with the SP traffic. There are a multitude of ticket counter for many Airlines from around the world. I was flying with United, and their app included clear instructions as to how to find their counters. I was so early, my airline did not have their counter open yet, so I spent the time walking around, and enjoying a restaurant and a coffee shop. They have a Starbucks, but I recommend the Brazilian coffee shops more. Because I have heard stories of people's checked bags being opened and filled with drugs at the airport, I recommend using the services that wrap your bag with plastic prior to checking your luggage. It cost 199 reals, (about $37 USD), but to me it is worth it. I also open my bag at the airport and use my camera to document the contents prior to wrapping. The service includes a tracking service for which you register. Perhaps I'm overly cautious, but, especially when traveling alone, feel it is worth the investment. After checking my bag, I headed through security and immigration. The lines were long, so I do recommend you arrive at least 3 hours before your flight. The agents spoke English, but seemed pleased when I answered them in Portuguese. When entering Brazil, always keep your passport handy, as you'll need it to check into a hotel, and in case of needing to prove your identity. I was wearing my boots, and did not have to take them off to go through security. I did have to take out my laptop, tablet, phone, and quart sized bag of liquids (toothpaste, sanitizing gel, etc.). The Terminal is large, so it may take a few minutes of walking to reach your gate. There are many shops, Duty Free, and eateries available, as well as plenty of clean restrooms. Some of the restaurants are American known chains like TGI Fridays. If you buy a bottle of water inside the Terminal, you are now allowed to take it with you onto your flight (a change from several years ago). I had a pleasant experience this trip at Terminal 3 at Guarulhos Airport.

The food options were the worst of the 4 lounges I went to. But if it was any other airport, I'd be happy with this lounge, and the fact that they have showers. Only stayed for 2 minutes, so can't say much more. If you are getting in here with AmEx or Priority Pass, you're better off going to the Star Alliance Lounge. Way better food!

There are plenty of seats, although you have to tell people that the seats are for people not for their bags...however precious they maybe. There is a limited supply of food. This encompassed pastries, rolls and soup, how I craved a packet of crisps! The selection of liquid refreshments is good with all your standard hot beverages, would it kill them to add hot chocolate to the roster? The cold drinks are comprised of the usual suspects from the fizzy drinks world alongside Brahma (the Brazilian beer) some vodka, wine, whisky and a sparkling wine. On entrance the staff tell you they do not announce flights and to check the screen. This is my bug bare they only have one screen to check on and it is located right next to the entrance door. So if you are sat at the far end up you get to go and check the screen, please get a couple more!! They have TV's on the wall but I have no idea what programmes were being shown or what language they were in. There was some reading material on offer but I think these were in Portuguese. The rest room (I can only speak about the men's) could use a little freshen up and the locks on the cubicles well it might be good if they worked. There is free wifi within the lounge however I found the airport free wifi covered the lounge and provided a better speed. On the whole not the best and not the worst but as a weary traveller with 3 hours to kill the Smile lounge was a welcome place to get a comfy chair...as all travellers know being able to get a comfortable seat in an airport is like heaven itself if you have hours to kill between flights!!
