080 Lounge Bangalore Review and Its Newly Opened Pay Only Section

In India, with the availability of lounge access through credit card is constantly increasing and people are accessing these lounges during their travel as it comes with a place to rest, and F&B to take rest before boarding to flight.

As it most the credit cards are now offering free lounge access from 1 per quarter to unlimited number of access, the lounges are becoming crowded like other places to take rest and have food at airport. To avoid that crowd, few lounges are popping at few Tier 1 city's airports which do provide limited access through limited cards.

For the selective and more curated way to serve the guests, AMEX has two lounges in India, the Centurion lounges. which are located in two cities only, i.e. Delhi and Mumbai. The access only comes with three credit cards: AMEX Centurion, AMEX Platinum Charge, AMEX Platinum Reserve.

As most of the people don't have an AMEX of that kind, few "premium lounges" are there in India which offers access through other cards as well. One of them is 080 Lounge of BLR Airport. A lounge with very decent food spread, place to work, place to read, place to watch TV, two bars, and recently opened paid only section.
The access through credit cards keeps changing, the current supported credit cards are:

1. AMEX: All cards
2. SBI: All credit cards
3. DBS: All credit cards
4. HSBC: All credit cards


I used my SBI Aurum to get access to it. So here are few snaps I took.
































Though the food spread is really good but there's no free drinks, be it alcoholic or non alcoholic beverages. As being a non-alcoholic individual, I went with a mocktail, and it was decent.








Now they've started a new section which is paid only, even if your card have access to the lounge. It has better food spread and beverages. A full À la carte spread, and no specific stay time there. If your card has access to the general section of 080 Lounge, it'll cost you ₹2,999 + GST for access, and if your card don't have access, it'd cost you ₹ 4,130 + GST to access. Some snaps of this section:
























So here it's all! Do share which lounge you loved to explore 🙂

I have Diners Millenia with Dreamfolks web access (DC has partnered with them like RuPay) which should have the same lounge access through diners club as DCB (but not unlimited).
In the app it only has access to the BLR lounges (which aren't even listed on the site).

Amex Platinum Travel card also works, but only once a quarter. I have used it myself once in June, and again recently on Oct 1st.

I used Amex plantinum travel card 2 times in one qtr I.e. in may and June at 080 domestic

Can anybody confirm whether "Dreamfolks web access" is working at 080 Lounge on not?

Family of 5 travelling together... so only Dreamfolks web access can suffice

No as it is chargeable

 

[cardpunter]

Went to the international lounge, they said NO ACCESS to cards and redirected to the BLR lounge. No priority pass even!

There's a phone number that no one picks up, the domestic lounge number, the person picked up and said only first class, business class and priority pass is accepted in international lounge, which again wasn't honored.

The BLR international lounge was crowded and actually hot.

Wow, international lounge also getting crowded.

First time saw some lounge denying priority pass😅.

 

[upnorth85]

Does anyone know if the pay only section is in both domestic and international 080 lounges? What does it cost?

More like year-end travel crowds 🙂 In Bangkok it seemed like half of Bangalore was there. The return flights for 1st and 2nd were actually sold out.

Last year i also went in year end. But no crowd. Maybe due to covid.

 

[ManasG]

Update from today-

• HDFC Infinia is accepted just by itself now, even without the priority pass
• HDFC Diners Club Black is also accepted

 

[titan]

I recently visited terminal 2 in bangalore (only vistara & Air Asia flights) from there.

There were 2 sections. One where all card holders were going. Its a very small lounge almost like a restaurant( no tv, no restrooms, little food options, no closed area)

Another one had 080 written on it (just in front of this open area lounge) and supposedly it was only for Vistara business class (or VC platinum & gold members).

So are we not allowed to visit the one where 080 is written with our CCs.

Attaching the photos of both.

Also is it the same 080 being discussed here in original post or there is another one at terminal 1 ?

PS : I have a DCB
