Saw this twitter post saying we can no longer get free lounge access even in international terminals using Axis Bank priority pass. I dont think it is true. Any update?

Wording is misleading in Twitter post. The gist is:Quite confused about this. No international lounge of India is mentioned for any of the cards. and Magnus doesn't actually work on international lounges of India. So does that mean, can't use it at all?
There's also this in one of the points: "As part of the Priority Pass Program, Magnus Credit Card holders will be eligible for unlimited complimentary international lounge visits for Primary card holders"
I think anything within India is considered domestic usage irrespective of whether the terminal is domestic or international. Outside India is international.Wording is misleading in Twitter post. The gist is:
This is what I know. Others are welcome to comment.
- You cannot use PP if the lounge is in India, except the few shown in the Twitter post. Before Sep 1, you could use PP on many lounges at International Terminal (airport) in India. Now you have to use your credit card to access lounges in India
- For Lounges outside India, PP works as before
I think anything within India is considered domestic usage irrespective of whether the terminal is domestic or international. Outside India is international.
So this means Infinia PP is the only one that can be used anywhere within and outside India. Magnus CC has to be used within India and Magnus PP to be used outside India.

@chasni @thanix But the main question is where exactly is it mentioned that Axis Bank Priority pass cannot be used in international lounges located in India? Because beyond immigration counter, it is considered international area. Lounges located in International terminal which are associated with Prioritypass should accept the Prioritypass of Axis bank right? That is all lounges listed under International Terminal in Prioritypass website should be accessible. If not, is there an Axis bank T&C document specifically mentioning that? Because even now, in the updated website of Axis cards, it says unlimited lounge access.
I wrote to Axis bank and they say Priority pass can be used at international lounges.

Yeah but international terminal lounges are not allowed via Magnus. Tested hence asking. Had to use PP earlierNow you have to use your credit card to access lounges in India
Again, "international" term can mean both for axis, 1. international lounges excluding India, 2. All international lounges including India.I wrote to Axis bank and they say Priority pass can be used at international lounges.
Hyderabad International lounge did not accept Magnus. Which ones have you visited via Magnus?Where did u get this info?
Edit: Are you referring to some exclusive lounges? There are some exclusive lounges which accept business class tickets and PP. So you may have visited that one. Otherwise, most international terminals in India also have normal lounge where you can swipe your Magnus.
If we see the TnC document from that link, following is clearly interpreted:Check the new TnC for Magnus that was published arnd 22nd Jul. It mentions that it cannot be used except a few lounges. Page 3
same question 🙁how to use the 8 guest visits in magnus in international lounges located in india?
Axis has removed International terminal lounges in India from June 1st 2023 for Magnus.

Axis Bank Revises Available Lounge List wef 01 Jun 23
Axis Bank has restricted the Number of Lounges which the card owner could visit within the country. They probably are also doing away with the complimentary PP access to Lounges which otherwise was allowed on some super and ultra premium cards (needs to be clarified). Check out the revised...www.technofino.in
Then it was accessible using priority pass till August 31st.
From September 1 onwards, priority pass in international terminal lounges in India can be used in the 10 mentioned lounges only.
Eg: Cannot use priority pass for accessing Loyalty Lounge in the international terminal in Mumbai.
For outside India Priority pass can be used anywhere it is supported.
In conclusion, International terminal lounges in India cannot be accessed by neither Magnus card nor priority pass(Other than the mentioned 10 lounges)
I don't know about Delhi, but in Mumbai terminal 2 which has both Domestic as well as International Departure the lounges are also separate.This going to confuse the hell out of people. Some airport terminals are integrated for domestic as well as international departures. For e.g. T3 in Delhi has both domestic and international. How is someone going to know if they can swipe their Magus to access the lounge?
Those mentioned lounges are domestic lounges in India and not international lounges within IndiaFrom September 1 onwards, priority pass in international terminal lounges in India can be used in the 10 mentioned lounges only.
Magnus can only be swiped in domestic lounges within India. There are no international lounges within India that can be accessed via the Magnus credit card.This going to confuse the hell out of people. Some airport terminals are integrated for domestic as well as international departures. For e.g. T3 in Delhi has both domestic and international. How is someone going to know if they can swipe their Magus to access the lounge?
