Lounge overcrowding decreased?

[hedgehog2122]

its crap.. i agree.. new one is now opening.. so. that will. be talk of the town for a few months

Yes, bad food and always long queues. Worst part is it is at one end of the airport, you have to walk a lot and then queue up for ages.

There are many exciting new business ideas involving lounges. Instead of a complete lounge, companies can consider renting space in the airport to open a mini-cafe, chai point, or snacks bakery for credit card holders. Customers can swipe their cards for Rs 50 or 100 and enjoy 2-3 hours of tea, snacks, and refreshments. This idea is sure to be a hit. Let the rich and premium cardholders go to full-fledged lounges and enjoy full-course meals. Credit card companies have the opportunity to collaborate with providers like Chaipoint and launch tie-up cards too. The lounge is a great spot for everyone to enjoy some free food and maybe even flick a couple of bottles of Sprite. Business class folks, on the other hand, use it to unwind, catch up on the news, and get some work done on their laptops.

That's a novel idea ,Banks and Airports should cone up with something like this

None of those.
Hyd Lounge has bad food and travelers understood it.

Naah.. lounge is moved opposite to Gate 11 and has been sufficiently increased capacity. Along with majority banks changing lounge access programs.

 

[Animal]

Although capacity is increased, at the same time crowd is also increased. Visited it last week. Food was pathetic.

Give it a quarter or two. With all the devaluations from major banks, lounges will soon be less crowded. It's bound to happen. The free lounge access LTF card junta will be gone.

My post was talking about Nov 2023 visit of Hyderabad and about the food.

fooooood was not goooood... agreeee..

 

[abhiver]

With today’s devaluation of Axis ACE, Flipkart and Airtel, we may see less crowded lounges in near future.

I still doubt that this will happen.

 

[abhiver]

Yes, it will definitely show a significant decrease.
Still, more such devaluation are required for the better lounge experience.

Yeah, until money rotation is fixed. Otherwise 50K in preceding 3 months is not a big deal.

 

[CodeCrusher]

With increasing number of credit cards users, it's bound to happen.
Mark my words : There will come a time where Airport lounges have more crowd than Rajiv Chowk Metro Station, Delhi 😆

Problem is not the customer, customers are source of business...

Problem is Lounges in India are still living in decade old India where they think that spending power of Indian are not that good to afford an economy flight ticket over the railway ticket. So they never prepared themselves to accommodate such number of customers.

Delhi or Mumbai has highest number of traffic in India and the lounge is still not that adequate enough. Otherwise, this could be a good lifestyle improvement for Indian encouraging them to travel by air more in a big country like India.

will they set up gol gappa and aalu tikki chat.. i hope so... 🙂)

Money rotation is something exploited by a very small % of cc users though (even if overrepresented in this forum). I'm pretty sure this is going to hit a significant amount of regular users, many won't likely even be aware of the new requirements until the swipe their card at a lounge.

yes at the premium price with lot of taxes 😀 .....

We have seen chaiyos and chaipoint.

Kuch bhi ho, ek benefit jarur hua, Railways ticket confirmation chances got increases due to these Lounge offers 😀.

Been to Kolkata, Mumbai (Adani) and Goa lounges. Adani Mumbai is the biggest of them but has the crappiest food.
