Yes the only international lounge at that pier is the Varig Smiles lounge. It's basic but does the job I suppose.
Hardiwv: TAM seems to be a very well run airline. I would not hesitate to take them longhaul. Although I don't know when I'll ever go back to Brazil again!

Nice report.

Very refreshing to see actual customer service!

If connecting on a purely domestic TAM itinerary through GRU, what lounges would one have access to? Via Priority Pass, I can use AA, UA, and JJ lounges, but not sure if I will be in the right terminaL. From what I remember, you cannot connect airside between them.
Also, isnt there a lounge in CNF for premium pax?

About airside connection in GRU, it is possible. There is a glass connector which links T1 to T2 (the connector links the lounge area of both terminals). One has access to the connector only if flying international. It is a very convenient way of changing terminals for international-international connections without going thorugh immigration in GRU. Halfway through the connector there is a Fast Sleep with showers, spa, and day-use rooms.

So it sounds like there is no way to access the AA or UA lounges if on a domestic itinerary...I guess Ill have to exit security to go to the JJ lounge. What about the Smiles lounge? Is that accessible for domestic flights?
