The honest take

Air Astana's Shanyraq lounge sits on Level 2 of Terminal 2 opposite Gate 201. The airline Help Centre admits holders of a Business Class invitation ticket or boarding pass and Nomad Club Gold or Diamond cards. LoungePair leftover also lists Economy Sleeper and two free shower suites. There is no published walk-up tariff and no Priority Pass / DragonPass listing. Air Astana is not in Star Alliance, oneworld or SkyTeam, so alliance gold does not open this door.
