Lounge Access at MIA (BOG-MIA-ORD)

Hi All,

I will be flying from BOG (Bogotá) to MIA on AV8 which arrives around 2:30am but my connection to ORD isn't until 7:30am.

Any ideas which lounge I can access while waiting? And if there are multiple choices which one is the best?

I'm have/am the following:
  • Star Gold
  • Flying Business Class
  • Priority Pass Membership
  • United Guest/Day Pass (don't think this will be useful at all)

From my research it appears that there are at least a few priority pass lounges but will I be able to get to the concourses?

You will land and then must clear immigration & customs. At that point will only be able to access domestic lounges and there are no *A domestic lounges.

Will move this to Florida / MIA forum to see if MIA regulars have opinions on the priority pass lounges.

Thanks! That's essentially what I figured but I wasn't sure if with PP I had some options and it's my understanding (though I've never personally tried) that you can enter any terminal with a same day boarding pass even if it's not the one your airline flies out of.

Concourse J has a shared premium class lounge for all airlines in that area, which includes Avianca. Being in business, you should be able to get in.
