How to get into lounges at ACF.
Alaer Talimu Airport keeps things simple — there's one lounge, the First Class Lounge (Domestic), airside in the Main Terminal. The main way in is a DragonPass membership, but the lounge also sells a pay-per-visit day pass, so you don't need a card or airline status to get a seat. Either way, you clear security first, as the lounge is airside.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the primary membership route into the First Class Lounge at Alaer Talimu Airport. Present your valid DragonPass card with your boarding pass at the door after clearing security. Check your plan's terms for any per-visit fee or guest charges.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
If you don't hold a membership, the First Class Lounge sells a pay-per-visit day pass — around USD 22 per guest for a stay of up to two hours. This lets you pay for entry on the day without DragonPass or airline status.
Two-hour stay
Entry to the lounge is built around a maximum stay of about two hours, in line with the lounge's pay-per-visit pricing. Time your arrival so you can settle, eat and still board comfortably rather than arriving hours ahead.
Clear security first
The lounge is airside, so you'll pass the security check before reaching it — turn left once you're through. There's no landside lounge at ACF, so don't expect to use it before the checkpoint.
