Aruba's Reina Beatrix International is a busy Caribbean holiday gateway with heavy US traffic, and it has Priority Pass lounges, though with a few practical caveats worth knowing before you plan your airport time around one: access can be restricted on busy days, children under twelve are not admitted, and gate-area timing can shorten your visit. ## The lounges at Aruba Aruba has two International VIP Lounges, located near Gate 2 and Gate 8. Both are accessible with a Priority Pass membership, and access can also be purchased through the airport's VIP departure service. Business-class passengers on KLM and Avianca also have entry. The lounges offer seating, refreshments, and a calmer space than the busy departure concourse, welcome after a beach holiday and before a long flight home. ## Access methods and the caveats Three caveats matter at Aruba. First, on busy days access may be limited to passengers on flights to the United States, so non-US departures can be turned away at peak times. Second, children under twelve are not permitted, which rules the lounges out for many families. Third, some gate areas, including where a lounge sits, open only shortly before flights, which can leave you less lounge time than you expect even if you arrive early. Confirm your access method and these conditions in your app before you rely on a visit. ## Amenities and tips The International VIP Lounges give you seating, refreshments, and Wi-Fi away from the crowded concourse. Because of the gate-area timing, do not plan a long lounge stay at Aruba; treat it as a comfortable final wait rather than a place to spend hours. If you are travelling with younger children or on a non-US flight at a peak time, have the concourse cafes as your plan. Use the comparison below to match a membership or the VIP service to your trip, with the caveats in mind.
