Where we'd actually go.
Iremel Lounge
The Iremel Lounge sits airside in Terminal 1 near the domestic departure gates and takes any passenger for a fee, regardless of cabin. It pairs an easy after-security location with the widest drinks selection at UFA — soft drinks plus house wine, beer and spirits — which makes it the most rounded pay-in option for domestic departures.
VIP Hall International
The VIP Hall International in Terminal 2 is the full-service choice for international departures. Booked ahead through the airport's VIP team, it bundles personal assistance, expedited check-in, security and immigration, a car transfer to or from the aircraft, comfortable seating, Wi-Fi and a bar — useful when you want the smoothest possible exit from Ufa.
VIP Hall Russia
The VIP Hall Russia is the Terminal 1 equivalent for domestic flights, open to departing and arriving passengers on a pay-in basis. It includes personal assistance, fast-tracked check-in and security, a car transfer to the aircraft, seating, Wi-Fi and a full bar when arranged in advance with the airport's VIP service.
Ufa VIP International Business Lounge Ufa Terminal
The Ufa VIP Business Lounge sits airside in Terminal 2's sector D, opposite the Duty Free shop, and accepts pay-in guests heading out on international flights. A straightforward after-security spot to wait, with seating and soft drinks, conveniently placed for the international gates.

How to get into lounges at UFA.
Ufa is a pure pay-per-visit airport — every lounge here sells entry to any passenger, so you don't need airline status, a frequent-flyer tier or a lounge membership to get in. The main thing to get right is the terminal: domestic flights use Terminal 1 and international flights use Terminal 2, and the lounges don't cross between them. The two VIP Halls are pre-booked VIP services arranged through the airport's own VIP team; the Iremel and VIP Business lounges are more conventional airside lounges you pay to enter.
Pay-in airside lounge
The Iremel Lounge (Terminal 1) and the Ufa VIP Business Lounge (Terminal 2) are airside lounges, after security, that admit any passenger for a fee regardless of cabin or airline. Just pay at the door to use them while you wait for your flight.
VIP Hall service (pre-booked)
The VIP Hall Russia (Terminal 1) and VIP Hall International (Terminal 2) are full VIP meet-and-assist services booked ahead through the airport's VIP team. They cover departing and arriving passengers and add personal assistance, expedited formalities and a car transfer to or from the aircraft.
Any cabin welcome
Because access at Ufa is pay-in rather than tier-based, you don't need a business- or first-class ticket to use a lounge — though premium-cabin travellers are of course welcome. Anyone can pay to enter, which keeps the lounges open to all passengers.
