INTERNATIONAL LOUNGE ACCESS DEFINITION? IS USING LOUNGE IN INTERNATIONAL DEPARTURE WITHIN INDIA CONSIDERED DOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL?

[sohilmehta08]

I have Tata Neu Infinity Rupay which gives 4 International lounge access, 1 per quarter. I just used it during departure from Mumbai International airport, at Loyalty lounge. I have a long layover at JFK, so wanted to know whether the lounge outside India will be considered my 1st complimentary access, or will I be charged? Please let me know fast!

No. Lounge access at mumbai will be considered as domestic access. You'll still be able to access lounge at JFK. Have a wonderful trip.

International lounges within India comes under the domestic lounge category.

Airport Lounges situated in domestic & International terminals within INDIA ===> comes under Domestic Lounge Access/category.

Airport Lounges situated in domestic & International terminals outside INDIA ===> comes under International Lounge Access/category.

If I check on this logic, most of the cards which offer "Domestic Lounge" Access do not work in Lounge on the International Departure side. There is a sort of category within these 2 definitions what you have mentioned

If I go by this article, Infinia card didn't work for International Departure like the way it works for domestic departure. Why? It was the case for most other cards that I had. Very few ( I remember ICICI Sapphiro ) worked. Hence used Priority Pass.
Hence I still feel there is a category in between..

For Infinia card holders ONLY, HDFC Customer care mentioned to me that we can use priority pass everywhere (Domestic departure, international departure, Domestic/international arrival, Outside india etc..) unlimited times. Especially in bangalore arrival lounge, infinia was not accepted, but Diners club black and priority pass are being accepted.

This is not correct.

Yes, some credit card list have mentioned 'international' lounges particularly.
