How to get into lounges at VKO.
Vnukovo is a pay-per-visit airport through and through — every lounge in Terminal A sells entry at the door, so you can get in without airline status or a specific membership. The main things to check are whether your lounge is on the domestic or international side and whether it sits before or after security. A couple of lounges also recognise specific memberships, but the day pass is the route that works everywhere here.
Walk-in day pass
Every Vnukovo lounge accepts pay-in guests — you buy entry at the door regardless of your airline or class of travel. This is the route that works at all of them, from the international Art Lounge to the domestic Prokofiev Premier Lounge.
Business & First class ticket
Premium-cabin passengers can use the relevant lounge, though at Vnukovo most lounges admit any traveller for a fee rather than gating on class. If you're flying business or first, check whether your fare includes lounge entry before paying separately.
Priority Pass
The Capsule Hotel AeroSleep gives Priority Pass members a complimentary four-hour stay in a single capsule. Coverage is limited to this rest facility rather than the lounges, so confirm the current terms before relying on it.
Priority PassAirline lounge
The Turkish Airlines Lounge serves the Moscow-Istanbul route and mirrors the carrier's Istanbul flagship. Access typically follows a Turkish Airlines premium ticket or eligible Miles&Smiles status, with a complimentary hot and cold buffet inside.
