We used the Grand Lounge Elite at Mexico City Airport Terminal 1 twice within a week, both before our flight to Santiago, and before our flight back to the US on the way back. The Grand Lounge Elite can be accessed by Priority Pass members, and there are two locations in Terminal 1 -- one…

@Lucky have u heard about LATAM point? What is special about their new program?

I swear I read this same review here a few weeks ago. I must be losing my mind.
Why no mention of the wifi in this lounge? You always mention that wifi is one of the most important lounge features, but it's so bad that it's pretty much unusable in this lounge.
It bothers me a bit that you call this and its sister (Lounge 19) " the Priority Pass lounge"... This two are first and foremost KLM/Airfrance/Skyteam lounges, and secondly Visa Lounges (need a mexican-issued Platinum or Infinite credit card to access)... Priority Pass was the last addition and, as any other lounge they offer access to, they dont "run" it... so i wouldn't call them a Priority Pass lounge (moreover considering that there are over 7 Priority Pass accesible lounges at MEX)
BTW... the reserved section is precisely for KLM/Airfrance First/Business class fliers and mexican-issued Visa infinite cards...
You missed the shower... i've used it after red-eyes from the bay area... and yes, the internet is terrible... better use the infinitummovil with iPass.
Did you tip the masseuse? Just curious. Seems like you should, just as you should tip the waiters at Timberline Steaks & Grille at the Denver airport (I did).
Yes the staff in that lounge is so friendly and helpful. I have been there many times have always been met by nice staff. In general the people of Mexico City are very hospitable and proud of their city. I also like the Centurion lounge outside of security.
(Might as well repost this here, since coincidentally, I posted it TODAY on your other, IDENTICAL review, calling it your "favorite Priority Pass Lounge".)
Oh, wow.
Lucky, I cannot BELIEVE that you’d review this lounge positively. It’s GARBAGE.
Haha just goes to show how SOME tacky americans will be so easily won over by people in third-world countries' waiting on you hand and foot (to the point of being obnoxious, and smothering), BECAUSE THEY WANT YOUR MONEY.
Try NOT tipping (enough), and you’ll see how these people stop being “so attentive”. Haha
Seriously, dude. Wise up.
Absolute GARBAGE lounges, these two.
Lucky, thank you for the review! I will check this out out next time I am in T1.
Looks OK I guess but I really don't want that much personal attention when I'm trying to work or relax in an airport lounge. The AA lounge at MEX seems nicer based on your review.
Oh and the menu is odd. Usually I don't think of the meal between 11am and 1pm as "Brunch" but maybe that's just me.
Was there in March. They will serve you nachos and tequila flights. What's not to like?
@Ramon "You missed the shower… i’ve used it after red-eyes from the bay area"
How do you get into the lounge when there's no sterile transit anymore? I'm always directed down a long series of dank corridors to immigration without any lounges along the way.
#DanimMCI "Usually I don’t think of the meal between 11am and 1pm as “Brunch” but maybe that’s just me."
Lunch doesn't exist in Mexico. Breakfast (desayuno) is in the morning, dinner (comida) is at two in the afternoon, and supper (cena) is optional at night. If you add in a meal at noon, you have to make up a name for it and 'brunch' is as good as any.
T-Mobile US customers don't have to worry about Wi-Fi in Mexico, as long as they keep to 5 GB.
Also, it is disappointing to hear a bunch of bad feedback from users of this lounge and then get a glowing review. Kind of undermines Ben's credibility.
Lounge 19 was a wonderful experience for us! Attentive staff, great food (didn't try pasta which looks anemic to me), massage (Yes! Tip them!) and there is no pressure to tip although the best feature, I agree, was attentive staff.
For weary travelers with delayed flight those reclining lounge chairs, massage, really good food and drink felt like heaven! This is my favorite lounge so far. They are only in Mexico.
In the lounge now.
And I agree with Lucky.
For a contract lounge it's amazing.
The service is incredible
I have a 7 hour stop over . Can I stay in the lounge the whole time. Or do I have to leave a certain amount of time? I'm traveling on my own so would prefer to be in a lounge.
$30 for 3 hours. After that you have to pay another $30 for the next 3 hours and so on and so forth...
Might as well pay $59 for American Airlines lounge and not have to worry about them calling your name and then going up to the front to pay for another 3 hours... Just saying
