Delhi Airport

Delhi Airport lounge access

Overview

Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) has lounges at Terminals 1, 2 and 3. If you’re using a credit card, access is through a lounge programme or issuer route supported by your card. Paid entry is also available at some lounges. Which lounge you can use depends on the terminal, the programmes that lounge currently accepts, and your card’s visit and spend rules.

Lounges to check at Delhi Airport

Checked 25 October 2026

Delhi Airport and Encalm currently list Encalm lounges at all three terminals. T3 has the most options. A row that says the side is not verified names the terminal only.

  • T1 domestic departures — Encalm Lounge Priority Pass currently lists this lounge
  • T2 domestic departures — Encalm Lounge Priority Pass currently lists this lounge
  • T3 international departures — Encalm Lounge Priority Pass currently lists this lounge
  • T3 arrivals — Encalm Lounge Priority Pass currently lists this lounge
  • T3 domestic departures — Encalm Lounge (Mezzanine floor, near food court area) Priority Pass match not verified
  • T3 domestic departures — Encalm Lounge (Mezzanine level, domestic departures) Priority Pass match not verified
  • T3 international departures — Encalm Privé no programme participation recorded
  • T1 side not verified — Prive Lounge no programme participation recorded
  • T3 side not verified — Encalm Xenia no programme participation recorded

Priority Pass lists two T3 domestic departures entries: “Encalm Lounge - Delhi Domestic T3” and “Domestic Lounge - New Delhi T3”. We have not verified which recorded lounge each one is, so no row above is marked as listed for them. That is an evidence gap, not a verified exclusion.

Hours and accepted programmes change. Check the app and the desk before you go.

Terminals

T1 and T2 are domestic. T3 handles both domestic and international flights. Lounges sit after security, and each terminal has its own operators. A programme that works in one terminal may not work in another.

How access usually works

The card gives you an entitlement. The lounge checks a programme or issuer credential.

  • No current DreamFolks listing is recorded at this place, so this page does not say how you would be admitted.
  • Across the matching catalog cards that join a lounge Priority Pass currently lists here, recorded methods include Priority Pass card, Card swipe, or Voucher.
  • Priority Pass membership is not the same as every Delhi lounge accepting Priority Pass.
  • No current LoungeKey listing is recorded at this place, so this page does not say how you would be admitted.
  • Issuer or payment-network paths — some cards use a bank app, QR, or network lounge programme instead.

Lounge participation changes. Confirm in the programme app before travel.

Common questions

FAQ
Which credit cards give lounge access at Delhi Airport?
Many Indian cards include lounge access through Priority Pass, LoungeKey, or an issuer path. Some card terms still name DreamFolks, which said in September 2025 that it had discontinued domestic airport lounge services in India. None of these is the same as entry at a specific Delhi lounge: each lounge accepts only the programmes it currently takes. Read the card page, then confirm the lounge in the programme app.
Does Priority Pass work at Delhi Airport?
Priority Pass is accepted at some Delhi lounges, not all of them. Use the Priority Pass app for the participating list, and stay inside your card’s visit rules.
Are T1, T2 and T3 lounges the same?
No. Terminals have different operators and different programme lists. A card or membership that works in one terminal may not work in another.
Do I need a boarding pass?
Most airside lounges require a same-day boarding pass for that terminal, plus the credential the lounge accepts. Ask at the desk if you are unsure.
