Priority Pass credit cards in India

Priority Pass is a global airport lounge network (1,400+ lounges, 145+ countries) operated by Collinson Group. Indian credit cards that include Priority Pass let you walk into participating lounges worldwide — no airline or cabin class restriction. You need the Priority Pass card (separate from your credit card) at most international airports.

Guest visits are charged at USD 27–35 per person on almost all Indian cards, even ultra-premium ones. Only Axis Burgundy Private (12/year), Axis Magnus (4/year), and Axis Reserve (12/year) include complimentary guest visits.

Your card issuer waives the US$99 Priority Pass membership fee. You receive a separate Priority Pass card. At international lounges, present the Priority Pass card (not your credit card) + boarding pass. Some cards charge USD 1 for authorization, which is reversed. Domestic India lounges are usually on separate networks (DreamFolks, Mastercard, or issuer programme) — not Priority Pass.
