For other Mastercards you have to pay RUB 1,500 per guest, but it is totally worth it. They keep the riff raff out so it's not crowded like all the other lounges. And it has its own restaurant by Ginza Group and you can order hot food and alcohol for no extra charge.

My Lufthansa FTL credit card says World Plus on it, and it is an elite card in so far it gives me access to Lufthansa lounges. Reckon that would get me in? I have heard of this lounge and people have raved about it, if one could rave about such a thing. But it does seem good, compared to the Alitalia style other lounges.
