TAM operations out of GRU
 
Can someone confirm if TAM operates out of the same terminal for both Domestic Brazilian flights and also International flights...?

I have a late evening connection from SSA to GRU and then continuing to EZE (both on TAM) and would like to understand what lounges I may be able to use. We will be with both of our young kids and Im sure they will be both asleep... have about 2 hours layover before we board our EZE flight, would be nice to have a decent place to crash.

Thanks!!

Also, if anybody has any insights on the Lounge situation on the International airside area this would be nice.... I see a Smiles lounge at Terminal 2 that I could use, hope that is where TAM will have my flight going out from.

Thanks.

Yes, it is the same terminal (and even if it were not, they are 5min walk apart).
However, I think TAM is using terminal 1, asa B, and GOL uses terminal 2, so probably can't use that lounge (there is an airside corridor linking the two terminals, but I don't think they'll let you into the GOL's lounge if flying TAM).

Not sure I follow you entirely... I am not flying GOL so unless access to the GOL lounge is allowed with Priority Pass then this does not even come into play.

My transit through GRU is on my return leg, so I have to catch an international connection GRU-EZE... so can I assume that GRU has a lounge that is airside in the same terminal that TAM operates out of that I could access using a Priority Pass Card...???

Thanks!!

Smiles lounge is GOL's lounge, sorry for not being clear.
You can use United Club lounge in T1 with Priority pass.

TAM also has a lounge in Terminal 2 as well, near the GOL Smiles lounge. It's relatively new and usually less crowded as only a few TAM flights leave from Terminal 2.
