The Kazan Airport Lounge is the business-class option in the Main Terminal, airside after security, reachable on a oneworld Sapphire tier or a business-class ticket. It carries the fullest amenity list at KZN, including showers, Wi-Fi and a business-centre area.

Always check whether your lounge is airside or landside before you clear security.
