anyone know if the showers are working in the RCC? I saw various reports in other threads discussing the SEA-EWR mistake fare stating the lounge agents said they were broken; however a voucher was provided to some other place. I am arriving morning of 5/29 for the 12hr stay and want to shower before heading into the city.
After being told a few days ago that the UA RCC showers were still not available, I went to the TAM lounge and took my usual shower in the mini-shower stall at the TAM lounge. But I do that prior to departing GRU back for the US or whatever other country is on my itinerary.

For Star Golds accessing Star Alliance airline-operated lounges on day of departure from the airport on a Star Alliance-operated flight, the fare classes booked doesn't matter.

So maybe i am not familiar with GRU but in my case, i will be arriving around 5am. I don't think it is worth to book a hotel to get there aroun 7am and be charged a full night just to take a shower. I am fine taking a shower at the airport but from what i recall, once you pass through customs, you are outside the gate. How do i get back inside the terminal to access any of the discussed shower facilities (sleep in airport or rcc)?

I agree, however I was talking specifically about shower access, which is restricted to certain fare classes.

You may want to look into gyms that provide one-use passes or pay-by-the-day access. They may have showers and thus no need tor o pay fa hotel room merely to shower.
