Never knew Delhi was much worse Than mumbai in terms of queue

Every LTF is offering free lounge even many debit cards too!
P.S
Last time I saved some time by not standing in the queue for transaction, but by directly tapping my card on the POS machine at the self-checkin counter.

Last month when I went, it was absolutely packed at 3 AM! Lines outside were long, and inside it was a proper crowd.

Ya there is a line all the time. I've basically stopped going to any lounge in India, just find a decent restaurant and relax there or grab something to go and find lounger chairs near terminals.

It's been crazy at delhi, last time I was in there people were fighting over sandwiches lol (imagine chaat wala level crowding at a wedding)

Nowadays, the situation is very bad in almost every lounge. Stand in line for half an hour and then you won't have any place to sit or relax. Because of free food people behave like they are hungry for the full day and will eat everything here. Then few people feel so entitled that if there is a sofa or large seating place, they will just lie down and sleep there blocking full space. Zero manners and full of entitlement.

mumbai airports have also become a lot crowded that is the main reason why i shiftd to amex lounges now looking to upgrade my amex reserve to amex plat charge

Oh boy! I thought T3 international would have been better than domestic but looks like its worse 😀 Makes sense too since people would be at the airport earlier for an international flight than a domestic. Hope its not too crowded post midnight.

This is where Chennai lounges are good. I usually end up taking a 5-6am flight. I take one of the seats there and rest in a dimly lit area. The seats remain empty too since everyone comes in for the food and leaves in another 20 minutes. These seats are good for a 2-3 hour nap and always available at such time.

My experience with Chennai lounges has been mostly the opposite, although I never flew early mornings, mostly afternoons or night flights.
