About GDX

Magadan Sokol Airport (GDX) is the gateway to Magadan in Russia's Far East, and its lounge scene is small and straightforward: two business lounges, both airside in the departures area after security. The Magadan Sokol Airport Business Lounge sits on the first floor and serves eligible passengers travelling on oneworld member airlines, with Wi-Fi for travellers waiting on a departure. The second is a pay-in Business Lounge that welcomes walk-in guests, so you can pay per visit without status or a membership, and it serves complimentary snacks and soft drinks. Because GDX is a regional airport, the lounge field is limited — clear security first, then follow the departures-area signage, and confirm opening hours against your flight time before you travel.

How we compile this guide

Sourced, never sponsored.

Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.
