Lounges are selected spaces within airports for travellers to enjoy benefits and luxuries exceeding airport terminals which not only make long layovers easier to bear, but also make travelling an overall enjoyable experience. Travelling by air can be exhilarating and chaotic whether, on business or leisure, long-haul flights can be tiresome and often an inconvenience; involving long queues, crowded spaces: and sometimes, a lot of waiting time. By using airport lounges, air travellers can get respite from exhausting journeys and frenzied surroundings jam-packed with noisy people.
Lounges are airline-affiliated, credit card-affiliated, alliance affiliated and independent. Whether it is through a credit card, an elite status with an airline or even purchasing a day pass, accessing an airport lounge is much easier than before. Travellers breathed a sigh of relief when travel saw an upward trend after a long lull. Airport lounges that were forced to shut down during the pandemic have reopened and are operational across the globe. Some have branched out into new countries and made their mark. For more details and the latest information about timings and access, it is prudent to check their dedicated websites closer to the time of travel. Business Traveller India, in this story, features some of the best, state-of-the-art global lounges that have a lot to offer travellers.
