Infinia HDFC Infinia Priority Pass Charged for Access in Domestic Indian Airports

[theXfactor]

I agree with your constructive argument. HDFC updated their terms removing 'inside India' from both, website and the lounge pdf. That cannot be a coincidence. Now they are giving different replies to different members. They have clearly messed it up.

What I do not agree is the Mod merging our threads with this thread which was created by a person charged on PP due to incorrect no. of guests entered by Lounge representative. Even if one of the other member's Devaluation threads was kept active, we could had concluded the same over there and it should had been fine. You can't merge a Policy thread and a Lounge Representative Mistake thread into one. And when pointed out, keep doubling down.

Anyways let's close this thread now. In conclusion, HDFC updated their website and Lounge pdf but are giving different details to everyone asking about it. Until we receive an official mail, we should continue to use our PP in India. That's all.

Hey, they haven't updated anything on their website or lounge pdf. Yes, in their updated MITC there's no mention of inside or outside India...it's generic.

Lol. Temptation? Do you think we win a prize by posting first? Everyone posts here to help other members.

I came to know about it from Twitter, checked the HDFC website and the T&C pages to verify and decided to inform the community. Before creating the new thread, I did check if someone else had created a Devaluation thread. I did not find any and hence proceeded.

You mentioned you merged multiple threads, but you did not keep even a single one active which really talked about the PP Devaluation from start. Instead you merged with this thread which was not at all related to Devaluation. Even when multiple members pointed out, you decided to shut them, instead of accepting your mistake. Mistakes happen with everyone but you should not double down on them.

This community has helped me a lot and I am doing the same for it. Not for some BS Temptation.

@TechnoFino This is a clear case of Power tripping. Request you to Please promote people to Mods carefully. With Great Power comes Great Responsibility.

Hope there are guidelines laid out and being followed for thread merging. Although there could be some duplicate threads but it was evident that a couple of unrelated threads were also merged leading to more confusion.

@sidp please initiate a conversation with @vishp @theXfactor and keep @TechnoFino in it as well. Need to discuss

Just called them, they said that priority pass usage in india is chargable, have just mailed to infinia services for it. Waiting for the rereply

@vishp this is what op had initially posted as the reason. Same as all other posts. Which is why it was merged in 1st place. So much for "totally unrelated topic."

Later he gave a different reason. Even when some people said this is different, no one quoted this comment.

When there are so many reports, we can't go through 5 whole thread. After a point merging isnt possible. It doesn't seem coherent. At that point, they had to be deleted or taken out of public view. But as we value people's contribution, merging seems like a better option.

No one is out to get you.

In this link, I don't see Infinia PP being charged for domestic lounge use. Or am I missing something?

And smartbuy still shows free domestic access.
