Regardless of what class you fly, there are two lounges at the airport that you can enter by paying at the door, or via a lounge pass or Priority Pass.
1. International Lounge
The International Lounge is the best lounge at the airport and is located in the International Terminal, Airside. It is open 24 hours a day with showers and sleep boxes and is a Priority Pass lounge. The design is very “Minsk” with black marble floors, dated white leather seating, patches of grass green carpet, and a green wall. There are massage chairs and loungers laid out on fake grass.
I have never seen a lounge-like this before… It lacks any particular style and seems to contain unusual furnishings placed fairly randomly, but it has plenty of space odd and is a pleasant place to spend time.
The buffet showcases local dishes, breakfast included sausages, meats and veggies, soup, and cereals. Much like the rest of this lounge, the food is pleasant but not fabulous. There is also free coffee, soft drinks and water, and a limited number of alcoholic drinks (beer, etc). While this lounge is worth taking advantage of if you have a Priority Pass as it is better than no lounge, I would not pay a fee to use this lounge, I would instead grab a bite at one of the airport restaurants or bars.
2. Domestic Lounge
The Domestic Lounge is located in the Domestic Terminal, Airside. It is open 24 hours. Showers and sleep boxes are available for an extra fee. We have not reviewed this lounge.
