Plan on 2.5 hours for international; confirm your airline's counter closing time.

The airport's departing-passengers guide advises reaching the airport at least 2.5 hours before departure. Check-in usually opens 2–2.5 hours before ETD depending on the airline (FAQs). You clear a door security check before check-in, then immigration and another security check before the sterile area.

Go to T1 for international and T3 for domestic; use the free shuttle between them.

All international airlines use Terminal 1; all domestic airlines use Terminal 3. Terminal 2 is closed for renovation. A free YACL shuttle links T1 (opposite Gate 3) and T3 (opposite Departure Door 1) from 05:30 to 21:00 every 15–20 minutes.

Priority Pass works at the T1 Mingalar Sky Business Class Lounge; otherwise budget for a day pass or eat airside.

Mingalar Sky runs the pay lounges and the USD 80 Premium meet-and-greet package. The main Terminal 1 Business Class Lounge (airside, 2nd floor behind Duty Free) accepts Priority Pass 24 hours; day-pass prices online start around USD 34–36. Terminal 3 has a domestic Mingalar Sky lounge (airport hours 06:00–19:00). Shop & Dine directories cover both terminals.

Airport is operating; country-level travel warnings and schedule volatility are the real risks.

RGN remains Myanmar's main operating international airport (~3.07 million passengers in 2025, DCA). Auswärtiges Amt says the airport is open with numerous connections but expects booking delays and short-notice cancellations. FCDO and AA both advise against travel to Myanmar because of the conflict — build slack into connections and check your government's advice before flying.
