CCJ(Calicut Airport) Lounge Access

[CCsearcher]

Hello,

I understand there is 1 lounge known as "The Bird Lounge" at Calicut International Airport(CCJ), link here - https://maps.app.goo.gl/npKqCGggXoFpP21r7. As per some reviews, they don't seem to be accepting standard CCs which come with lounge access.

Looking for some inputs if someone has visited this lounge. When I called them, they say they only accept Visa Signature and Mastercard World cards.
In case someone from the community has some suggestions

I have the below-
1. AMEX Platinum travel - for this I will have to enable priority pass and then pay 25USD?
2. Flipkart Axis Bank Visa
3. Swiggy HDFC Mastercard World CC - but this has no lounge access. Will it still work?
4. Citibank now Axis Rewards CC - I am unable to check whether this is Visa or something else.
5. SBI Global Mastercard Debit Card - this is virtual.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I just looked at the Amex link again and it says "departing on international flights only", mine is a domestic flight from the international terminal. Looks to be a weird lounge to me.

I also have Airtel Axis CC which says "mastercard" in the front and "world" is mentioned in the back. Not sure if it is mastercard world though. I will check with the customer care.

The Citibank rewards is mastercard platinum.

Try to get an IDFC(25K MAB) DC for 1 lounge access per quarter. Most of the lounge access is covered with IDFC DC.
