Review of Elysian Lounge at Pune Airport: A New Travel Stop

[MudraMantra]

On October 20, 2024, I visited the newly opened Elysian Lounge at Pune Airport's terminal, which recently began offering lounge access. The lounge is relatively small, with a seating capacity of only 20-25 people. While the atmosphere is cozy, options for starters and main courses are quite limited, offering only a handful of choices.

One of the main challenges guests faced was card acceptance, as the staff mentioned they are still working on bank tie-ups since the lounge's recent launch. Fortunately, I was able to use my ICICI Rubyx Visa credit card, which worked seamlessly.

Elysian Lounge is conveniently located opposite Gate 2 on the first floor, near KFC, making it a new spot for travelers to consider, though they should be prepared for some initial growing pains.

Visited this lounge on 14th Nov through ICICI Rubyx CC around 7AM. Mostly empty, very limited food options and does not accept card from all banks(Axis being one of them)

I had visited this lounge on 14th Oct and ICICI cards were not accepted. I was not carrying my PP as well so had to skip it.

I read in google reviews that another lounge is coming up after security at ground floor in new Pune terminal. I hope it opens up soon as Elysian is joke for a lounge with 20 people seating capacity

If anyone of you is travelling, please let us know the updates. I am travelling towards 3rd week of Dec next from Pune

I visited the lounge yesterday. It is a very small capacity establishment and have very limited number of items of food. But the taste is okish and does the job well for a quick meal. They don't have a coffee machine in buffet area, rather you need to order it and their staff get the coffee prepared for you.

From what I could remember the below cards are accepted

1. ICICI Bank all cards
2. DBS Bank cards
3. Indusind legand (not so sure)
4. HDFC Infinia (I used it, Other cards of HDFC r not allowed)
5. Priority Pass
