How to get into lounges at AAQ.

The airside departures lounge is for oneworld Sapphire status holders and Business Class passengers, while the landside lounge in the domestic terminal sells a walk-in paid entry that anyone can buy. Decide whether you want to be airside or landside before you head to security, as the two lounges sit on different sides of the checkpoint.

Know before you go.
Airside vs landside
- —Anapa's two lounges sit on opposite sides of the checkpoint — the Business Lounge is landside in the domestic terminal, the airline lounge is airside in departures.
- —Decide which you want before you head to security, because you can't move between landside and airside once you've cleared the checkpoint.
- —If you arrive early and want to relax before security, the landside Business Lounge is the one to head for.
Getting in
- —The airside departures lounge needs oneworld Sapphire status or a Business Class ticket — there's no walk-in option there.
- —The landside Business Lounge sells a walk-in paid entry, so you don't need status or a membership to use it.
- —Both lounges serve the same light snacks and drinks rather than a full hot buffet, so set your expectations to a comfortable rest stop.
What to expect
- —Expect complimentary snacks and finger food, plus soft drinks and house wine and beer, at both lounges.
- —The airside lounge has Wi-Fi if you need to get online before a flight.
- —These are compact regional business lounges, not large flagship spaces — they're best for a quiet sit-down rather than a long stay.
Timing
