Insider tip

Priority Pass only opens the aggregator lounges (Plaza Premium, Encalm) — the hotel-branded Oberoi and ITC Maurya lounges look tempting on the terminal map but require a specific premium card, so check your card's benefits before walking over.

Lounge availability, access policies and amenities at DEL change regularly. Verify with the lounge operator or your card/membership provider before travel.

Lounge Tips for New Delhi

Arrive at the lounge at least 90 minutes before departure — most lounges get crowded in the final hour before peak departures.
Lounge WiFi is usually much faster and more reliable than the general terminal network — ideal for last-minute work.
Check your travel credit card benefits before buying a Priority Pass — many premium cards include complimentary lounge access.
Alliance status matters: Star Alliance Gold, oneworld Emerald/Sapphire and SkyTeam Elite Plus members can typically access partner lounges even when flying Economy.
Some lounges at DEL may be airside only — confirm whether your lounge is accessible before or after security.
