ICICI Coral RuPay Railway Longue Access

[Anindya98]

Ticket is compulsory it is mentioned in T&C a valid ticket must be presented. In Chennai longue they ask ticket and ID proof even if you are paying money to access lounge. Those lounges are dedicated for railway passengers only.

It depends on the lounge partner. It doesn't matter to them if you have a ticket or not, if you don't avail lounge access they don't get paid. So, they encourage more customers to visit the lounge.

Yes meal is included. Longue staff will monitor if you use recliner or pods and you end up paying money. You can't defend or deny in that situation.

Is it only for reserved tickets? Or can I use non reserved tickets for Local trains?

No problem. Platform ticket is not necessary but you can have it. In fact, why to spend ₹10 for platform ticket when you can just get any local train ticket at ₹5.


One interesting thing about Kolkata Sealdah lounge, is that, it is located outside the ticketing zone. So, you can legally enter the lounge without any ticket if you are coming from outside.

Platform is not a valid train ticket. If they find out people are misusing the services they might altogether stop longue access.

Food is unlimited. Maybe people are using that specific longue for food without a train ticket.

Normally lounges are crowded so they might only allow pasangers with ticket to avoid overcrowding. Also they put one person near washroom entrance cuz shower is a paid service.

If it's listed on the Bank's website or Dreamfolks Web

1. Do they check any PNR, ID Card and Name in the Card vs the actual person?
2. Is the food unlimited (like airport) or, fixed 1X Tea / Coffee + 1X Thali?
