Lounge & amenity notes

Lounge, food, and quiet-spot picks pulled from the markdown guide.

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

Two operator business halls sit airside: international (second floor of international departures after passport control) and domestic (far end of the second-floor domestic hall). Walk-in is 4,000 RUB per adult for 2 hours including VAT; children under 2 free. Business/first class up to 4 hours free. Listed cards (MILE·ON·AIR, Comfort Pass, Golden Key, Persona.aero, Every Lounge, RusPriority, Grey Wall Pass, DreamFolks) are typically 2 hours before departure.
A separate MILE·ON·AIR Lounge opened on the domestic side in 2025 (specialist listings: third floor near gates 1–3). Treat it as that programme’s room — confirm in the MILE·ON·AIR app. Third-party 2026 guides also name a Kronstadt themed international room with a higher walk-up and evening hours; that is not on the operator’s two-hall page, so confirm before you walk.
Do not assume Priority Pass or DragonPass. A 2022 airport news item mentioned DragonPass; the current operator programme list does not. Open the card’s own app on the day.
Шоколадница on the second floor of domestic departures is the 24-hour sit-down option the airport advertises. Duty-free and grab-and-go sit after screening; sealed water is a till price, not a published tariff.
Free Wi-Fi is OBIT with phone-call login (last four digits). Pharmacies and typical post-security shops sit in Terminal 1; do not plan on a Western-style food court.
Smoking rooms are not a documented lounge amenity here. Russian airports ban indoor smoking — do not hunt for a Grey Wall smoke room that exists at other cities.
