Last year I reviewed the American Airlines Admirals Club at Rio de Janeiro International Airport<\/a> (GIG Airport). It was one of the saddest lounges I had ever been to because the food spread was atrocious. A lot can happen in one year, so I wanted to see if anything was different this time around.<\/p>\n

The Admirals Club at Rio de Janeiro\u2019s Galeao International Airport can be accessed after security, but you\u2019ll need to take an escalator ride down.<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa1\"<\/a> \"smilesGOLaa2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Admirals Club is actually housed in the Smiles GOL VIP Lounge shared facility where you\u2019ll need to swing a left to access the lounge. The right side entrance is for the Smiles VIP Lounge which has the same catering in the Admirals Club.<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa3\"<\/a> \"smilesGOLaa4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was able to access the Admirals Club lounge due to being a oneworld emerald elite flying on American Airlines.<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lounge was relatively empty during the evening with plenty of seating available.<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa6\"<\/a> \"smilesGOLaa7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The buffet spread was small and consisted of salad, savory snacks, and soup.<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa9\"<\/a> \"smilesGOLaa10\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Drinks were available near the buffet spread and at the bar area.<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa11\"<\/a> \"smilesGOLaa8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had the salad with Italian dressing which was really good.<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The savory snacks were not that great and the soup was tomato (not pictured).<\/p>\n

\"smilesGOLaa14\"<\/a> \"smilesGOLaa13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The lounge was practically the same as my previous visit but with the exception of the added salad which is an actual upgrade. I wish the food was much better, but this is typical of the contracted GOL Smiles VIP lounge catering<\/a>.<\/p>\n
