Hyderabad Transfer and Lounge

[raghumahajan]

Hi All,

I am having a connecting flight from BOM to BLR via HYD. I have once been many years ago to HYD and vaguely remember that we had to get out of the airport from HYD and then enter through the Departure side of the airport. There are no internal transfers.

1. Can anyone confirm this?
2. Also, I like to use the lounge at Hyderabad. There is Encalm lounge near Gate 28 on the airside. Can we access it during transfer/connecting flights?
3. Is it a better lounge than Mumbai T1 Lounge?

Yes you can access lounge during transfer/connecting flights.

Mumbai T1 Adani lounge is super bad that you regret using your free lounge access on CC. No good food options. For salads, only watermelon and raw onions were there. No non veg, only egg curry. For tea/coffee/soft drinks you have to walk up to their bar/cafe area and ask them to give to you.

Flight got delayed and in during transfers in Hyderabad, we have to do security check-in again. [Super slow]
Indigo took zero responsibility for transfer passengers. For 12:05 flight, we were doing security check-in till 11:55.
Didn't get chance to visit the lounge over there.

I have seen signage with a domestic transfer. With the same airline, you shouldn't worry about these things. Here I am considering, your check-in baggage would be forwarded by the airline straight to the next flight.

Also, I like to use the lounge at Hyderabad. There is Encalm lounge near Gate 28 on the airside. Can we access it during transfer/connecting flights?

Of course, once you enter the departure zone.

Note:
If you don't have any check-in baggage, you can go through security without exiting. You'll see it while walking towards the baggage claim, but upstairs.
And yay, the lounge is just in front of this security.
