What is airport lounge access?

Airport lounge access allows travelers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable space away from the hustle and bustle of regular departure areas. Lounges offer benefits such as unlimited food and drinks (including alcohol in some cases), charging stations, free WiFi, plush seating, newspapers and sometimes even showers or sleeping cubicles.

Many people assume that lounge access is reserved for business class passengers or frequent flyers, but there are also budget-friendly ways to gain access.

How to access the airport lounge: step-by-step guide

Here is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to gain airport lounge access:

Step 1: Check credit card offers

Many banks in India have partnered with lounge providers to offer free or heavily discounted access to airport lounges through certain credit cards. Some of these cards, even at entry level, allow you to enter a lounge for as little as Rs. 1. Before you travel, check if your card is eligible.

Step 3: Register your credit card in the Lounge Key app

Once you download the Lounge Key app, register your eligible credit card. This links your card to lounge access, making it easier to use when you’re travelling. The app shows you which lounges you can access depending on the eligibility of your card.

Step 4: Visit the lounge

When you arrive at the airport, simply visit the lounge of your choice. Show your registered credit card and you’ll get free entry or be charged a small fee, sometimes as low as Rs. 1. Some lounges may charge a little more, but the cost is still minimal considering the amenities offered.
