GOL is a low-cost airline that flies to many destinations throughout South America and to three points in North America at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<p>If you're passing through S\u00e3o Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, certain LifeMiles members can enjoy the benefits of GOL Smiles Lounges. But where are these lounges and how do you get access? Let's take a look at some of the details.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Who_Has_Access\">Who Has Access?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/avianca-lifemiles\/avianca-lifemiles-sweet-spots\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Avianca LifeMiles<\/a> Diamond and Gold Elite members will have access to GOL's Smiles Lounges located in S\u00e3o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro's international airports. Gold and Diamond members will receive a specific number of entries to the GOL Smiles Lounges according to their elite status. Gold members receive a maximum of five entries while Diamond members will be allotted 10 visits.<\/p>\n<p>It's worth noting that you can use one of your allotted visits to bring in a companion, and children under 18 still count toward your limited number of visits.<\/p>\n<p>Elite members and their companions are only permitted entry if they share the same reservation on the same day with either Avianca or GOL. All members must show their virtual Diamond or Gold membership card and boarding pass at the lounge's check-in desk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/credit-cards-with-lounge-access\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Credit Cards for Airport Lounge Access<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Locations_of_GOL_Smiles_Lounges\">Locations of GOL Smiles Lounges<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All four of the GOL Smiles Lounges can be found within the Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro International Airports \u2014 two in each.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Sao_Paulo_Guarulhos_International_Airport_GRU_locations\">Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) locations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>International flights<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terminal 2 on the east side boarding floor<\/li>\n<li>Availability: 5:00 am \u2014 1:00 am<\/li>\n<li>Open to members on international flights only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Domestic flights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terminal 2 on the west side boarding floor<\/li>\n<li>Availability: 6 a.m. \u2014 Midnight<\/li>\n<li>Open to members on domestic flights only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"Rio_de_Janeiro_Galeao_International_Airport_GIG_Locations\">Rio de Janeiro Gale\u00e3o International Airport (GIG) Locations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>International flights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terminal 2 on the third floor of the South Pier<\/li>\n<li>Availability: 6 a.m. \u2014 2 a.m.<\/li>\n<li>Open to members on international flights only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Domestic flights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Terminal 2 in front of gates B36 and B37<\/li>\n<li>Availability: 6 a.m. \u2014 Midnight<\/li>\n<li>Open to members on domestic flights only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Full terms and current operating hours are available <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifemiles.com\/deals\/detail-page\/0923WRA01\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is a nice little touch for LifeMiles Diamond and Gold Elite members who might be passing through one of Brazil's two largest airports. It's unlikely you'll use all 5 or 10 of the passes you're allotted according to your status, unless you fly in and out of Brazil frequently. But having the option is nice in case of a long layover or delay.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Who_Has_Access\">Who Has Access?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Locations_of_GOL_Smiles_Lounges\">Locations of GOL Smiles Lounges<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#Sao_Paulo_Guarulhos_International_Airport_GRU_locations\">Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport (GRU) locations<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Rio_de_Janeiro_Galeao_International_Airport_GIG_Locations\">Rio de Janeiro Gale\u00e3o International Airport (GIG) Locations<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><a href=\"#Bottom_Line\">Bottom Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avianca LifeMiles elites can pass the time before their flight in one of the four GOL Smiles Lounges in the S\u00e3o Paulo (GRU) and Rio de Janeiro (GIG) international airports.
