Belo Horizonte Airport VIP Lounge, Advantage VIP Lounge, is voted the best in the world by Priority Pass

The first fast-track VIP lounge at BH Airport, the Advantage VIP Lounge, has just been voted the best in the world by Priority Pass, the largest global airport program. This is the first time in history that a Brazilian lounge has won the top prize, announced 30th April during the “Priority Pass Excellence Awards”. The vote is based on the opinions of thousands of travelers who access more than 1,500 accredited spaces around the world and evaluate based on criteria such as service, comfort, structure, amenities and buffet.

Inaugurated in August of last year, Advantage has been attracting the attention of passengers at the Minas Gerais international terminal, whether for its size – almost 1,000 square meters -, the beauty of its areas, with a highlight being a replica of the façade of the Pampulha church, or the convenience of its services, which include its own inspection channel, which gives access to the boarding area. BH Airport CEO Daniel Miranda celebrates the achievement: “Advantage is a success in our terminal and offers comfort and sophistication in the Minas Gerais way: with good food and excellent hospitality. We are very happy with this well-deserved award, which also projects BH Airport as the airport with the best VIP lounge in the world”, he says.

Advantage VIP Lounge CEO Rute Woitechen highlights that the award is the realization of a dream that began in 2015, when she founded Advantage. “Our purpose is to transform the concept of VIP lounges in Brazilian airports and to see this work recognized globally, precisely in the year in which we celebrate 10 years, is exciting. This award belongs to each employee, who dedicates themselves every day with excellence and care, and also to our customers, who trusted our proposal and elected us. Today, with great joy, we celebrate this milestone together: Advantage is the best in the world”, she highlights. Experience at Advantage

In addition, the space is equipped with technological and sustainable devices, including smart LED lighting, stable Wi-Fi connectivity, integrated chargers, digital information panels, automated temperature control, and ambient sound systems.

Advantage has two entrances: one through the public area, on the 2nd floor of the terminal, next to the panoramic terrace, with exclusive and faster access for customers, and another through the boarding area, near gate 2.
