DigiYatra and a compact hall help; one runway plus evening banks still need real buffers.

DigiYatra can shrink domestic entry / CISF / boarding for enrolled Indian nationals when e-gates and face pods are staffed (formal inauguration 21 Feb 2026 after ~a year of trial use per ToI). NAG remains a single-runway field shared with an IAF station and IndiGo-heavy domestic banks. Domestic ~2 hours early is the sane default. International buffers only matter when your ticket actually shows Sharjah / Doha (or another live overseas sector) — do not invent Gulf metal from MIHAN brochure copy. The Airr Lounge’s Priority Pass window publishes 06:00–23:00 with a 2-hour max stay; Mandarin is 09:00–23:00 landside — confirm the live app before a red-eye.

Single 2008 terminal; boarding-pass sector signs beat “T1/T2” folklore.

Domestic and international share the 14 Apr 2008 integrated terminal. Screenshot NAG ≠ BOM ≠ IDR ≠ RPR ≠ JLR before the car leaves Wardha Road / Civil Lines / MIHAN. Live Priority Pass pins: The Airr Lounge and Bar after security on the 1st floor near baby care (airside), and Mandarin Lounge before security on the 1st floor (landside). Landside Mandarin is useless once you have cleared CISF — visit it before security or skip it.

Two live PP rooms; Airr is the post-security soft room, Mandarin is pre-security paid menu.

Live Priority Pass products are The Airr Lounge and Bar (airside domestic 1st floor near baby care; 06:00–23:00; max 2h; children under 5 free; standard alcohol extra) and Mandarin Lounge (landside domestic 1st floor before security; 09:00–23:00; children under 12 free; à la carte extra). Without entitlement, buy sealed water and snacks landside before CISF. Ignore aggregator Plaza Premium inventions — live PP directory = Airr + Mandarin only.

Short road hop into Nagpur; Airport metro needs a feeder that is not a guarantee.

Use official prepaid taxi counters in arrivals or signed Ola / Uber pickup for the Sonegaon / Wardha Road run into the city (often ~20–40 minutes in normal traffic; confirm the board / app quote). Nagpur Metro Orange Line Airport station is a separate stop — treat metro as a multi-leg option only when a live feeder / signed shuttle is actually operating; Aug 2026 ToI coverage still described a revamped feeder as under airport review. Nagpur Junction needs a road transfer. Late nights default to prepaid / app cabs. Do not invent an in-terminal metro gate from MIHAN planning coverage.
