Important Update for Travelers: Bengaluru Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) Lounge Access Policy.
Recent traveler experiences highlight stricter enforcement of lounge access rules at Bengaluru Airport.
Key Observations:
- QR Code Policy: Lounge staff at BLR are verifying names on QR codes against traveler identification. Access is denied if the QR code holder is not physically present and traveling. Sharing QR codes for others' entry is strictly prohibited.
- Physical Card Preference: There's an indication that carrying the physical credit or debit card linked to lounge access might facilitate entry more smoothly, even in situations where a QR code might be questioned if the cardholder isn't present. However, the primary rule remains that the card/QR code holder must be the person accessing the lounge.
Traveler Advisory:
To ensure a hassle-free lounge experience, it is highly recommended that travelers use their own valid QR codes or physical cards. Do not rely on shared QR codes from individuals not traveling with you.
