RuPay has officially entered the premium lounge space with the launch of its own exclusive lounge at Delhi Airport Terminal 3, for domestic passengers. Until now, American Express was the only issuer in India offering exclusive lounges at airports in Delhi and Mumbai. With the rise of airport lounges managed by operators, often leading to long queues, RuPay has stepped up its game to provide a dedicated lounge experience for its credit cardholders.
Key Highlights:
- RuPay Lounge Location: Located at Gate 41, where the Vistara Lounge used to be, this lounge offers RuPay Credit Card holders a dedicated space.
- Exclusivity: The lounge is exclusively for RuPay credit cardholders, with no access for RuPay debit card users.
- Cost Efficiency: RuPay’s own lounge helps reduce costs compared to using contracted lounges, allowing better control over the customer experience.
Lounge Access:
Here are some RuPay credit cards that offer complimentary access to this new lounge:
- HDFC Bank Tata Neu Infinity Credit Card: 8 domestic lounge accesses per annum.
- HDFC Bank Tata Neu Plus Credit Card: 4 domestic lounge accesses per annum.
- ICICI Bank HPCL Super Saver RuPay Credit Card: 1 airport lounge access per quarter.
- IDFC First Power Plus RuPay Select Credit Card: 4 airport lounge accesses per annum.
- ixigo AU Credit Card: 2 domestic lounge accesses per quarter.
- Reliance Prime Select Credit Card: 8 complimentary lounges per year (max 2 per quarter).
What to Expect:
The RuPay Lounge offers a closer location to the gates at Terminal 3 with great airside views, making it a perfect stop for frequent flyers and aviation enthusiasts.
More RuPay credit cards are likely to offer access, and a complete list will be reviewed soon. If you’re a RuPay credit cardholder traveling through Delhi Airport, this lounge could be your next go-to spot!
