080-BLR Lounge Access - Domestic T1

[Harry1]

I was on the inaugural flight flew from BLR T2.

1. There are 2 lounge in the T2, one is reserved lounge for VVIP's located in between international and domestic departure gate. For normal passengers there is one (temp) after the security check. another one will start above the temp lounge in couple of months.
2. The Aerial distance between the T1 and T2 is 200 meter but there is no direct connectivity in between them. there is shuttle service for T2 from T1 and vice versa located next to T1 departure gate (next to Relay shop) it was free on 1st day.
3. The shuttle covers distance about 2.3KM. a dedicated road in between these terminal.
4. Only star air is operating from T2. from 15th Feb air asia and from 1st March Vistara is going to operate.

Thanks for detailed information. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great that they started one lounge already. BTW, Reserved lounge is not accessible even by priority pass?

Good that shuttle service is there. Hope charges are nominal, if they start charging. Is it private or offered by bial or bmtc?

Mine is air Asia flight only. So mostly transition will be like how i expected.

Thanks for the update! Now they have started differentiating between Diners cards too.

A quick question for those who have lounge access through your credit card, doesn't your bank give you a list of lounges that have complementary access? Example for me, my Amex Platinum charge card has a website for lounges accessed directly with the Platinum card and for the complementary Priority Pass membership, they too have a live lounge list. I am wondering if the 080 front desk shoves people to the BLR lounge if they are getting full by just saying your card does not have access to our lounge.

In short, there is no specific list. Visa shows 080 lounge as part of complimentary lounge access program for all its variants, however only few Visa Signature variants of few banks are accepted. Hence there is always a question of 'which' cards?

The last part of your sentence may be true. They might also be rejecting acceptable cards just to maintain 'exclusivity'.

I am sure there is a "entry at lounge discretion" disclaimer somewhere at every lounge and visa/offer.

I accessed using Axis Priority DC, I found nothing special, no Indian food, which I look forward to in lounges.

Personally found it very overrated!

Is Axis Priority DC still accepted?

Axis magnus accepted on 25th Jan without any questions. However, lounge was extremely crowded, contrary to what we have heard till now.
