Lounge & amenity notes

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

From Lounges, Food & Amenities

Emerald (A2) is the domestic flagship: showers, kids’ corner, 5,800 RUB / 3 hours. Worth it if you are paying cash and flying domestic.
Opal (A2) is the programme room. 2025 added 50+ seats and a kids’ space. No official walk-in price.
Topaz (B3) is the international room with showers. Same 5,800 RUB desk as Emerald. Leftover blogs that swap Emerald/Topaz across A/B are wrong — sit the operator page.

Terminal A floor 2 after security. 2025 rebuild added 50+ seats, a new buffet line and a kids’ space. Official list is programmes only — do not count on paying at the desk. Showers are not listed on the operator page.

Access: ON PASS · Grey Wall Pass · Every Lounge · RusPriority · Golden Key · DragonPass

Hours: Flight schedule (first departure to last; not documented 24/7)

Amenities: Buffet · Wi-Fi · Children's area · Cloakroom

Best for: Domestic passengers holding a Russian lounge network who want the quieter A-side room

Full access guide

New in 2025 with the international-terminal rebuild. Terminal B floor 2, EAEU corridor only. Operator list is snacks and soft drinks, not a full Emerald buffet, and no showers. Skip if you are on Antalya/Dubai/Phuket — that flow is Topaz.

Access: ON PASS · Grey Wall Pass · Every Lounge · Persona.aero · Business class ticket

Hours: Flight schedule; Persona.aero lists 24/7 with a 3-hour cap — confirm at the desk

Amenities: Light snacks · Soft drinks · Wi-Fi

Best for: Passengers on EAEU flights who already hold a listed programme

Full access guide

Terminal B floor 3 after passport control. 2025 rebuild added about 100 seats. Showers and a kids’ corner are on the operator list. Same 5,800 RUB / 3 hours desk as Emerald. Leftover vc.ru copy that puts Topaz in Terminal A is wrong.

Access: Day pass · Business class ticket · ON PASS · Grey Wall Pass · Every Lounge · Priority Pass

Hours: Flight schedule (first departure to last; not documented 24/7)

Amenities: Buffet · Showers · Children's area · Wi-Fi

Best for: International passengers after passport control who will pay 5,800 RUB or already hold business class

Full access guide

The 1954 hall with the spire, left of Terminal B. Separate check-in and apron transfer. Skip on a normal ticket. Aggregator PP tags on this building are leftover-wrong.

Access: Day pass

Hours: By booking

Amenities: Private check-in · Apron transfer · Dedicated parking

Best for: Passengers whose company is paying for a separate building

Full access guide

Agat (B2) is EAEU only and snacks-only. Do not walk there with a Dubai boarding pass.

Airside coffee: Misha & Teddy (photographed August 2024 in the sterile hall). Landside: Mono Café. Späten restaurant-bar sits landside under the international-departures mezzanine.

Heinemann Duty Free is the international bottle shop (100 RUB water in the August 2025 E1 check).

Aeroflot Bonus Gold does not open these rooms. Bring a Russian lounge network or pay.
