At a glance

One of ten lounges in Terminal 4, ranking 9th among them. An airline lounge with a proper place to work and staff who look after you — though seats are scarce at peak and it gets loud. It seats around 80 and pours beer and wine. Hours are 7:15 AM – 9:45 PM daily. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Priority Pass (Priority Pass listing shows 08:00-22:30; reports of members turned away outside Air India departure banks) and Star Alliance Gold Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
