International Business Lounge
★4.3(25,408 reviews)AER
Sochi's international-side pay-in lounge — walk up, settle in, fly out.
The International Business Lounge is Sochi Airport's pay-in lounge on the international side, located airside in the International Terminal after security in Sector C on the second floor. It welcomes walk-up customers paying at the door, which makes it the most flexible way into a lounge for international departures from AER — there's no need for airline status or a lounge membership. Inside, the lounge keeps things straightforward: a selection of snacks, complimentary soft drinks, and a bar serving house wine, beer and spirits. It's a calm, comfortable place to wait out the time before boarding, away from the busier terminal floor, and a sensible choice for travellers who want a quiet seat and a drink before an international flight out of Sochi.
Crowding · busy at peak
A comfortable place to answer a few emails before a flight, with seating and power, though it isn't set up as a dedicated business lounge. Fine for light work and downtime.
A simple, well-judged spread for an airport lounge of this size: complimentary snacks to keep you going before a flight, plus a bar serving house wine, beer and spirits alongside complimentary soft drinks. It's about a comfortable drink and a bite rather than a full buffet.
After clearing security in the International Terminal, head to Sector C and up to the second floor, where the International Business Lounge is located.
