Airport Lounge Free Access ?

[kunalcc]

I have two credit cards with complimentary airport lounge access. Can my friend also get lounge access using my second card ??

Do airport lounges POS support tap to pay for 2 rupees verification of card ??

Do airport lounges asks ID proof for giving access to free wifi ??

If any credit card has unlimited lounge access, maybe its limited to one access per day

Please share real life experiences.

You can use other card and take your companion along. They only ask for boarding pass. For unlimited lounge access, once you have swiped, you have to wait for around 8 hours before you can use it for another time.

The name on the credit card should match the name on the boarding pass
so your friend cannot use your card.
they will not allow it because his name is different

At least in India they dont care about name on card. They want a valid swipe.

It depends on which Airport you are, if it is someting like Delhi or Mumbai where you have long queues they will most likely ignore boarding passes or even name on the card.

Can a cardholder swipe for their friend/partner's access, provided that Cardholder is physically present when swiping?

Even when there are no queques, they are fine at least for family members ( personal experience)

Bro, I swiped my card for a completely random stranger whose card was denied. They didn't care atleast at kolkata as long as they get a valid boarding pass and cardholder is present.

Carrying on this, Inquisitive to know, has it been done by someone that you carry someone else's card and used it at a Lounge? The card holder not present at all

Have seen many people do it. On most occasions they don't allow.

All of this depends on lounge and the operator that day. My wife has swiped my card when I was not there in Chennai. They allowed it. But if it is crowded they will verify card name against boarding pass and may deny entry.
