Infinia HDFC Infinia Priority Pass Charged for Access in Domestic Indian Airports

[vishp]

Yes they called me. In the call they mentioned using PP in domestic lounge will attract 27usd.

Unless they send a mass communication to all, I don't think they will be able to charge for PP domestic access. Even if they do charge, you can complain and get back the refund.

Earlier Infinia used to grant access to lounges within India via Priority Pass which allowed you to enter business class lounges in certain airports like Kolkata, Guwahati etc. However, the updated page now shows that lounges in India could only be accessed by using the card itself. For example in Kolkata, only Priority Pass and Diners Club cards are allowed in the business class lounge which effectively puts Infinia below DCB.

Only Kolkata is different in that regard

And it is a well known fact that Diners Club has a better network of lounges than Dreamfolks especially internationally. Only place where dcb is better than infinia

especially

So is there any more cards left with domestic lounge access via PP coz that was a valuable perk given how crowded lounges are getting these days?

That is incorrect and there has been way too many threads on this topic at this point now



This has been proven wrong many times now, and it's still wrong

Pp can be used domestically
Now you'll say you'll mail hdfc to confirm
Yes we've gone through that entire episode way too many times at this point as well

Edit: also I recently used it domestically if that brings any solace

Some members have reported that using Infinia PP in domestic lounge is chargeable.
When did you use your PP?

April end

In all the cases where members reported charges it was concluded it was due to swipe registering as guest entry because name on ticket and card wasn't same or other reasons like that

AFAIK HDFC has conveyed that PP should not be used at Domestic lounges. This was somewhere around March.
