Using Airport Lounge Access Twice with Two Different Credit Cards?

JustMak

TF Select
VIP Lounge
I have two different credit cards, each offering airport lounge access. If I use one card to enter a lounge and my 3-hour access limit runs out, can I use the second card to re-enter the same lounge with the same boarding pass? I need about 6 hours to kill (check-in time issue).

Has anyone tried this before, and did it work smoothly? Any experiences or advice would be helpful!

Yes u can .
Several months back, i used two of my cards at delhi T3 domestic airport for lounge access consecutively, means after 3 hours gap.
Everything was smooth. They don't have any problem with it.

I even asked from one of those receptionist there, they told u can even stay for 24 hrs, just u need to access again after every 3 hours.😅

Yes, you most probably can. Lounges get paid per CC swiped. They won’t generally mind you using different CCs, however, they may be some lounges that disallow it.
 
you can stay for 6 hours if the staff is good
i stayed 5+ hrs in delhi t3 lounge from midnight to early morning, eventhough it was little crowded

otherwise in many lounges like of bengaluru airport, etc, staff check your boarding pass and allow entry 3 hrs prior to departure only

Just a few days ago, I swiped my IndusInd Celesta credit card three times at the same lounge after every two hours.

Me too have stayed several times in lounge more that 3hrs in delhi T3 and 080 blr no one will ask you. I swiped only once sometimes when i have vistara ticket no need to swipe direct entry . Very rarely i was told 2hrs before depature will get acces to lounge must once or twice.

But that will not be possible in the Delhi T3 arrival lounge. Hardly any crowd; I never witnessed more than 4-5 people at once in the Delhi T3 Arrival Lounge.

Thus, the staff immediately came over to you after every two hours to swipe the card again for a time extension.

I stayed once for 6-7 hrs with one card....they don't bother to check....stay there...eat...drink..sleep...repeat...

it was around december and january too, time was around midnight
it was full of people both the time

i guess if it is less crowded they do check time otherwise they don't.

Bro... You are talking about the departure lounge, and I am talking about the arrival lounge. In the arrival lounge, entry criteria are totally different from those in regular lounges.
 
I stayed more than 4 hr at patna airport lounge approx not prob
But it was small and less congested ( due to less traffic )

But railway lounge PPL wrote 2 hr on
Slip
I'm Delhi railway station
Plat no 1 & 16 both
Usually Airport me itni problem nahi aati, IRCTC ppl are too arrogant
 
Platform 16 was
More spacious and well behaved

Platform 1 girl was little kinky
But that's her job
I don't want to even talk to them

PPL were paying 1000 I did it for free 😂

Non veg Meal + stay
500+ recovered
I was there ( Platform no.1 ) at once. It was an okay-type experience for me and my family.

Platform 16 ka experience mere friend ka acha nahi tha. Toh avoid kiya.
