Quito Airport— Thanks for the Lounges

My Priority Pass Lounge Access wins the day on this trip, yet again. After arriving in Quito 5 hours before my connecting flight I thought I was stuck. My transferring airline from Avianca to Copa wasn’t open to accept my luggage till 11:00 am and it was just 8:30! Well heck.
But a look at my lounge access and I’ll be darned if there wasn’t a lounge on the “land” side of the terminal. This one was called Layover, and was specifically for people who needed a place to sleep or chill for multiple hours. I jumped in there for 2 hours.
Copa agents opened and I checked in for my flight to Panamá City. Crossing “air side” and surprise! Another lounge that I have access to. I chilled out there for another 2 hours. I ate lunch (a sandwich guy made my sandwich exactly the way I wanted), ate chips, had a coke, drank water, had an OJ ( still working on my cold) and charged my phone. Although the priority pass lounge access hasn’t done much for me in the States, it’s highly recommended in South America!
Boarding now for my 5th county, Panamá.Read more
