Airlines usually require passengers to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before the flight departure time. Before boarding the flight, passengers need to verify their documents, collect their boarding pass, check their baggage, clear the airport security check, etc. At times, you may complete these formalities quickly, or at times, your flight may be delayed.
During such times, instead of waiting in the airport’s common waiting area, you can relax at the airport lounge. Many credit cards offer complimentary airport lounge access as a benefit. While airport lounge access is complimentary for the credit cardholder, it comes at a cost for the bank. Hence, most banks have now linked complimentary airport lounge access to monthly/quarterly milestone spends. However, some credit cards still offer complimentary airport lounge access without any spend criteria. In this article, we will discuss 8 such credit cards.
Benefits of an airport lounge
Some common benefits offered by most airport lounges include comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, widescreen televisions, newspapers/magazines, complimentary meals and beverages (tea, coffee, non-alcoholic drinks), etc. Some airport lounges offer additional benefits such as spa/massage services, shower facilities, sleeping areas, alcohol, etc. However, these may be paid services.
