Manas International Airport

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan · Asia-Pacific

A compact civilian hall 25 km from Bishkek: useful 24/7 Priority Pass showers, a 2026 west-wing rebuild that is not finished, and Yandex Go instead of Uber — leftover FRU on the boarding pass is the same airport.

Kabar 15 Jan 2024 leftover walk-up: USD 45 adult (12+), USD 22.50 ages 2–12, capacity leftover 81. LoungePair leftover from USD 39. Pay what the administrator rings up.
VIP Hall is a different 24/7 commercial product (separate passport/customs, porter, minibus to the aircraft). Operator: book with name, date, flight number; rates unpublished. Leftover third-party USD 195 is leftover-unverified. Not Priority Pass.
Airside retail: operator Duty Free (perfume, alcohol, chocolate; Mir / ruble / dollar / euro). Landside: cafes, exchange, pharmacy — operator commercial-rental list, not a food hall.
