Other North & South America Frequent Flyer Programs - TAM Lounge access

Hello everyone,

We're going to GIG for Christmas/New Years this year taking advantage for the TAM business class sale out of JFK. Here is what I would like to know;

What are the lounges that we will be able to use. JFK-GRU-GIG-GRU-JFK.

We would like to be able to take showers on the trip down in GIG and on the way back in JFK. Are arrival lounges offered in each location?

From the search I've done it looks like we get to use the Virgin Club House in terminal 4 at JFK on the way out. It's the other locations that I'm having trouble finding information about.

Thanks.

TAM evening departure from JFK to GRU/GIG use Virgin Club lounge. In the morning departure TAM uses another lounge.

TAM has a nice business lounge in GIGT2 with showers for international departures, while in GRU TAM has 3 lounges: one lounge dedicated to First Class (with showers), one lounge dedicated to business class both for international departures(after security) and one domestic departure/arrival lounge located before security.
