FREE Priority Pass Airport Lounge Access in India
While you reach airport and buy a cup of tea, it would cost you around 120 Rs, meals anywhere from 500 to 1000 Rs ! Also the WiFi you get for Free lasts for only 45 minutes, so how do you get Meals, Bk fast, Water, Cold drinks, 24 hours Wifi for FREE on Airports ? Answer is access to Airport Lounge. But that would cost you around 1000 to 2000 Rs per person !!! So solution is to go for right credit card which shall provide you FREE access to these premier lounges on important airports like Mumbai, Bangalore, Channai, Delhi. So here is my list of Complimentary Airport Lounge Access Credit & Debit Card India 2019.
Update 15 Aug 2019 – Chennai international airport travel lounge access – credit / debit card list added at the end of this post. I used my new PayTM Rupay debit card here for Rs 2 only 🙂 So its confirmed that Rupay card works for FREE access.
