Lounge or Langar

Off late getting entry into Airport Lounges has increasingly becoming tougher owing to long queues. I have mainly dealt with Hyderabad & all 3 terminals of Delhi. The wait time has become 20-40 minutes standing in long queues. The lounge access that we started as luxury now appearing as Line for Langar Prasad.
If anyone has any workarounds welcome.

Luxury has moved business class

Just like 3rd ac in train has become like sleeper class
It's only 2nd class which has some class left

So bulk it up
Lower middle class has moved middle middle class and hence more affordable air travel

Lounges should Prioritise Card Variant, For example, a passenger holding Infinia should not wait 40 minutes in Line. They can also introduce Self Check-in counter Scan the QR and direct entry. I always try to enter 2.5 Hrs before to avoid unnecessary rush.

One advantage I've gained is separate (and almost empty) queue for CV Gold members at those lounges.
Can try what's left of it before vistara gets merged into AI.

At hyderabad, you can print the entry pass at your own outside the lounge..There are 5/6 machines. With printed pass, you can enter directly and no need to stand in queue...I always find these machines vacant.

Yes, last time I went I used the machines outside , no waiting time. No standing in the long queues.

u will be surprised at the number of infinia holders.. many many banks have already reduced lounge access / put spend criteria but the crowds are increasing.. so this is tge way.. i have stopped using the lounge from last month.. while travelling alone.. with family may still make sense on money front.. food is also losing its draw.. quite boring choices now..

2 machines and not always both work parallelly.
 
When we hound for free food like Langoors, airport lounges become Langars.

This but Amex Plat Travel at Kolkata saved me a lot. Same lounge with two different entries with partitions, one from Mastercard, Visa and some Airline tie-ups. Another is one for AMEX, PP and some Airline tie-ups. With low AMEX uses I got into it within a minute while my Infinia friend had to wait for 40-60 minutes.
