If not, the lounge charges you (usually \u20b9500\u2013\u20b91,000 per visit).<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Types of Lounge Access<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Domestic Lounge Access<\/strong> \u2013 Available at Indian airports.
