Airline club for AA biz class: GIG Terminal 1
We've flown out of Terminal 2, with US Airways, and used the consolidated "VIP" club in that terminal, but haven't used Terminal 1 in some time. What club(s), if any, can American Airlines biz class pasengers use in Terminal 1? We'd be flying to DFW. Thanks.

Yes, there is an AC at Terminal 1. Very decent, but gets crowded sometimes.
Has some snacks and light fare (pasta, soup), păo de queijo, and a beer fridge. Also some hard liquor.
They also have showers, if you need them.

Thanks. Wow, an actual AC. Over in T2 there was just the consolidated club. And showers are always a plus even if we've just started the passage elsewhere in Brazil. The United Club at GRU told us they no longer had showers. And we'd be able to usle the AC at DFW, as well.

I think it's a Gold lounge. Thought it was only for gold-level members in the TAM ff program. VIP club in GIG Terminal 2 was not as nice overall as the United Club at GRU, but it had showers.

You mean T1, right? T2 is the newer terminal, where UA, US, JJ, etc. are located. AA is in T1.

When I was there this past Tuesday, they were renovating the Men's room, so they had the Ladies room marked for Men and the Arrivals Lounge became the Ladies room. So once the renovations are complete, showers might return at the UC in GRU.

When checking in my last couple of trips out of GIG, the UA gate agents would tell me to use the TAM lounge, but I prefer the VIP lounge.

The GRU AC is a little bigger but tends to get crowded at night. More food options and self serve bar. There are showers but there can be a waiting list during peak times.
