There are always problems. When a flight lands, the attendants at the arrival gate always try to avoid being the one who has to open the airplane door, because they are always met with a gust of farts.
It doesn't work like that. Fresh air is taken from engine continuously and old air is thrown out of the cabin through exhaust located near tail. during the flight and the whole air in the cabin is continuously filtered through HEPA filter.
 
Yeah I did not like the food from Adani. Every food either tasted bland or sour. Though I liked the amount of cold soft drinks they had to offer. Lounge was clean and very big so did not feel overcrowded. One thing I have noticed that they're matching the name on card with boarding pass.
One guy beside me brought atleast 10-12 debit cards (yes DCs) and was trying one after another 💀
Sorry to hear that, must have been a been an exception since everyone in my friend circle (including friends from Delhi and Bangalore) likes the food at this lounge more than any other lounge.

It's a standard practice internationally to match the name on the card with the boarding pass. My wife had to use a different priority pass because the one she was using had her maiden name which didn't match with her boarding pass name. I hope all lounges in India start following this - this will solve overcrowding issues more than the spent limit criteria. I have seen people pull out 7-8 cards in the same name to grant access to their friends and families.

If you add your card in Dreamfolks app, it shows number of lounge access you have and also which lounges you can access with that card.
Not all cards work through dreamfolks network. Scapia, yes bank cards works with pinelabs network and cannot be checked with dreamfolks website.

Could be an exception. Some of the food tasted sour. I hope those didn't go bad. Normally expired food tasted sour.

denying access to family members is not acceptable. How minor kids will get lounge access as they can't get their own card. Lounge access fee is some where between 1k to 2.5k.

I have never seen them stop anyone using multiple cards for family.. whats the loss to the lounge?? they will allow one person per swipe..Some over enthusiastic lounge manager may decide to irritate you one day.. but in general they don't care.. they may not allow multiple swipe on same card even feom bank side.. and they may ask for another swipe if time is beyond 2 / 3 hours of lounge usage ( happens sometimes when flights get delayed)

I generally use my cards for my family members. The comment is related to that person suggesting to deny for family members (indirectly)

The concept of guest visit is for that purpose. And kids in Indian lounges don’t need a swipe at all.

And I’m not suggesting anything new - this is how it works the world over, your name is matched with your card/priority pass name. It will sooner or later get implemented in India as well.

Banks buy lounge access in bulk. And yes it’s a loss for the bank because banks work on a very simple principle - when a bank says you have 8 lounge accesses on a particular card in a year, technically they know only a very few people would actually use all 8 and most wouldn’t use lounge access at all. So in net the cost evens up for the bank. But when more and more people start using their allotted quota the bank either has to increase the card charges to be remain in business (or minimum spends) or reduce the quota.

do we have any excel/ sheet/ table that shows which cards are offering lounge access against what criteria? with the recent devaluations, this info might be of great help to many others.

Why don’t you do it and help others?
for the very simple reason that everyone has different skill sets and motives.
you sound like, if someone asks you, whats a good movie to watch, you gonna suggest "why dont you act yourself, build up a drama and entertain others as well"

btw, my question was if something similar already exists, that gonna surely help many. now sorry mate, unfortunately i dont have it within me, to create something :(

I would suggest that instead of asking for compiling the list of cards against spend for lounge access, better tell us your requirements. Like how frequently do you travel, domestic/international, cards you hold. TF community will be happy to help you.

bhai mere... just for the sake of replying, you shouldn't keep commenting yaar (sometimes its okay to keep your ego aside and take a chill pill).

even i shouldn't be replying to this, but mjhe to maza aa raha lene me.

anyways, I never asked anyone to compile anything. i asked "DO WE HAVE SOMETHING", which simply means is there anything existing which can be leveraged?
