Most important tips
A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.
Registration and bags close 40 minutes before the ticketed departure; late passengers need an airline yes, not an airport yes.
Operator registration page: start depends on the carrier and is not later than 2 hours before departure. Floor-1 kiosks sit left of the info desk. No-bags desk 22 except Aeroflot. Fast Track is 2,400 ₽ without a lounge visit, 5,500 ₽ with one, 2,300 ₽ on arrival.
All scheduled flights use the 2017 Passenger Terminal. The Business Terminal is VIP/delegations, not a second boarding hall.
Domestic and international split after screening inside that one building (EAEU transfer zone was expanded in 2025). Leftover T2-as-scheduled-international leftover-wrong. Cheremshanka is a separate airfield next door, not a KJA hall.
Grey Wall is 24/7 on floor 3 after passport control to the right. Operator 4th-floor rooms are 5,500 / 5,000 ₽. The Business Terminal hall is a 19,000 ₽ chauffeur product.
Grey Wall: buffet including alcohol, Wi-Fi, sofas, operator page still advertises Priority Pass for 3 hours — Collinson’s directory has no KJA listing, so confirm at the desk and do not count on the app. Operator domestic 4F is 5,500 ₽ adult / 2,750 ₽ child (web non-refundable 4,400 / 2,200), max 6 hours. International 4F is 5,000 / 2,750, max 6 hours. English VIP leftover 5,260 / 2,900 leftover-stale.
Scheduled passenger flights to the EU, UK and US remain suspended. Apply for the unified e-visa only at electronic-visa.kdmid.ru.
2025 international growth came from Yerevan (Shirak Avia), Dushanbe (Somon Air), Nha Trang (VietJet) and Shymkent (SCAT from 26 Dec 2025), plus China traffic +60%. UK/US/CA/AU/NZ still need a consular visa. Aeroflot Group remains the hub: Rossiya 1,395,375 and Aeroflot 857,078 passengers in 2025.

RomBaba is 24 hours on floor 3 in the domestic hold. Green Food is in the EAEU hold. Pelmennaya Trapеза and Coffee TEA are landside on floor 1.
SSID Free Wi-Fi Airport. Authorise by phone call or the QR on the plaques. The operator warned in February 2025 that fake networks ask for an SMS code.
Floor 2 landside, right wing, 24 hours. Free for under-7s with paperwork. It is a feeding room, not a public drinking fountain.
From the intercity bus station. Tickets at the arrivals desk, +7 950 984-37-98, or on the Krasnoyarsk bus station site. No metro and no airport rail.
The arrivals and technical pages list 6 jet bridges, 4 escalators, and 21 elevators. Remote stands still use apron buses.

No-bags passengers use desk 22 except Aeroflot. Fast Track is 2,400 RUB without a lounge visit, 5,500 RUB with one, and 2,300 RUB on arrival. There is no published live security-wait clock. The 25-minute figure is a planning buffer.
The operator rooms on floor 4 are 5,500 RUB domestic and 5,000 RUB international, with a six-hour cap.
The Business Terminal hall is 19,000 RUB walk-up. Skip it unless someone else is paying.

Cheremshanka shares the 11/29 heading and has no connecting taxiway.
Floor 3 after passport control, to the right of the hold
Operator Grey Wall page includes the buffet and alcohol in the stay. Useful if you were walking in anyway — a terrible way to buy one bottle. The operator does not publish a 2026 shop till.
Floor 4 domestic or international business lounge after screening
Operator 4th-floor rooms include waiting-hall drinks with the ticket. More expensive than Grey Wall’s old 2,900 ₽ till and still not a bottle shop.
Floor 2 landside right wing, ask at the info desk opposite the entrance
24/7 mother-and-child room for feeding and nappy changes. Operator page lets you heat baby food in the feeding room — it is not a public drinking fountain and needs passport, birth certificate, ticket and a medical slip.
