Air Astana's Shanyrak Lounge at NQZ — snacks, beverages, Wi-Fi and a quiet workspace.
The Shanyrak Lounge is one of Air Astana's lounges at Astana's Nursultan Nazarbayev International Airport, named after the shanyrak — the crown of a traditional Kazakh yurt and a national symbol. Entry runs on a pay-per-visit basis. The lounge sets out to be a tranquil break from the airport's hustle and bustle, with designer mood lighting and soothing music creating a calm environment. On the food side it offers a variety of snacks and appetizers prepared to a high standard, along with a selection of beverages. Practical touches round it out: complimentary Wi-Fi internet access, TV news channels, and a selection of local and international newspapers and magazines in three languages. There's also a designated workspace where passengers can comfortably attend to business needs before a flight — making it a balanced choice for travellers who want to both relax and stay productive.
