Axis Magnus Meet and Greet Experience Review

Hello there!

Allow me to share with you my review of the Axis Bank Magnus Meet and Greet Service.

Recently, I had the pleasure of flying from Bangalore to Delhi using Vistara Business Class, thanks to a complementary ticket I received via my Axis Bank VI card. As I had a significant amount of luggage with me - five pieces totaling approximately 60 kg in weight - I opted to utilize the Meet and Greet Service, which provides a porter at both airports.

Here's a timeline of events:

Flight Date and Time: April 28th, 7:40 PM
April 25th: Booked Meet and Greet service for both Delhi and Bangalore airports.

April 26th: Called the Axis Bank concierge to confirm my booking. I was informed that my request was still being processed, and I would receive confirmation no sooner than 24 hours before departure.

April 27th, 10 PM: Contacted the concierge once again for an update. They confirmed that the service had been confirmed for Delhi, but not yet for Bangalore. They assured me that it would be done by midnight and I would receive details by morning.

April 28th, 8 AM: Followed up with the concierge, who promised to call me back within the hour with more information.

April 28th, 11 AM: Still no call, no confirmation, and feeling increasingly anxious about my luggage. I contacted the concierge once again and was assured that I would receive a callback within the hour.

April 28th, 1 PM: Still no response, and my anxiety levels were rising. I called the concierge again, and they informed me that they were waiting for a response from the vendor. Again, I was promised a callback.

April 28th, 4 PM: I was frustrated and upset, having received no confirmation or callback. I decided to book a cab and head to the airport. Sadly, due to the concierge's lack of communication, I would be forced to handle my luggage on my own.

April 28th, 5 PM: While en route to the airport, I received a call from the Meet and Greet Service Provider at the Bangalore airport, informing me that they were waiting for me and asking about my ETA and cab number. This was a pleasant surprise after the ordeal with the concierge.

April 28th, 6 PM: Upon arrival, I was greeted by three individuals who located my cab and swiftly took charge of my luggage. Within five minutes, I was comfortably seated in the lounge.

April 28th, 11 PM: Upon arrival in Delhi, I received a WhatsApp message from the Meet and Greet Provider informing me that they would be waiting for me at the aerobridge, holding a placard with my name on it. They were waiting for me at the exit gate and quickly collected my luggage from the conveyor belt, escorting me to the pickup point.

Overall, my experience with the Meet and Greet Service Provider was fantastic. However, the lack of communication and partnership between Axis Bank Concierge and the Meet and Greet Service Vendor was incredibly frustrating, causing a great deal of anxiety and hassle. I hope that Axis Bank can improve their processes in this regard, ensuring a smoother experience for their customers.
 
Thanks for sharing your experience! Did you get any confirmation from the extraordinary weekends website? I'm flying out tonight, but status there still shows enquired.
No confirmation from website. They will call you 8 hours before the departure time and will also get message from Pranaam after the call.
 
Lounge

The potter took us to Loyalty Lounge. There was a long queue for entering the lounge. The potter took us to nearby kiosk where we can swipe the card ourselves and get the receipt for the lounge. After getting the receipt we skipped the line and entered the lounge after giving the slip to the lounge employee. The lounge was overcrowded with no place to sit. So he took us upstairs where there was a relaxing area with some snacks. He dropped us there and informed another person will come before boarding.
Interesting. What is this upstairs area? part of the lounge? does it have food/drinks there or is at all at the departure floor?

The lounge has two floors. Downstairs is where all the buffet food is available and it is very crowded. Upstairs is the area through which we enter the lounge. Here there is relaxing area with rocking chairs and small snacks section. They were closed when we went without any light but our Potter asked permission to enter the area and made us sit there.

I see. Sounds like this is a closed off area that they don't open to people even if it is very crowded there. Good for M&G to get this organized for you.
 
In Mumbai, you can get Priority Baggage Checkin based on your Carrier which is missing in Meet & greet for Economy travel. Also you can access Adani Lounge if you are travellling Internationally rather than over crowded Loyalty Lounge.
Nice. Have a Biz Class trip coming up from Delhi this month. Thinking of foregoing M&G as I will already get Priority check-in, security and baggage from Vistara. For Priority entry into the airport, thinking of using the Digi Yatra app.

If you are already traveling Biz class the only advantage is the buggy and entry into the airport. For airports like Mumbai the walk can be pretty long so buggy does help at times
 
Some people have been able to use it for their family as well, remember seeing a few posts/threads, where they named themselves as the primary guest but uploaded tickets of the family member traveling
Thanks, I did try to do it. I am guessing my dad will have to pose as me which sounds a bit daunting at the airport where IDs will be checked. Plus no option to change contact no., so the M&G agent will keep calling me at 5 AM 🤦‍♂️

I got a confirmation from the website about 12 hours before departure time; however the Pranaam folks called about 4 hours before the departure for further instructions. This was at T2 Mumbai last week.
