How to get into lounges at LED.
Pulkovo's lounges are mostly alliance-driven: the Business Lounge covers SkyTeam and oneworld, the Pulkovo Business Class Lounge covers Star Alliance and oneworld, and both also admit business and first-class passengers. If you don't have status or a premium ticket, the Aeroflot Lounge is the one that sells pay-per-visit entry. Check which alliance your airline belongs to before choosing a lounge.
SkyTeam status & premium cabin
The Business Lounge on the 4th floor admits SkyTeam Elite Plus members and passengers travelling in business or first class on an eligible SkyTeam flight. It's open 24 hours, so it works regardless of your departure time.
Star Alliance status & premium cabin
The Pulkovo Business Class Lounge near Gate 1 in the international departures area serves Star Alliance Gold members and passengers flying business class on a Star Alliance carrier. Match your lounge to the alliance your airline belongs to.
oneworld status & premium cabin
oneworld is the one alliance that reaches both the Business Lounge and the Pulkovo Business Class Lounge — oneworld Sapphire status holders and business-class passengers can use either, depending on which gate area they're departing from.
Pay-per-visit (Aeroflot Lounge)
The Aeroflot Lounge in the international departures area accepts paid entry, so you can pay per visit without airline status or a lounge membership. It's the most accessible lounge at Pulkovo for travellers without a premium ticket.
Business & First class ticket
A business- or first-class ticket on an eligible carrier gets you into your alliance's lounge directly — SkyTeam and oneworld for the Business Lounge, Star Alliance and oneworld for the Pulkovo Business Class Lounge — with no separate membership needed.
