Which of your cards work here?
Lounge access is a network problem (DreamFolks, Priority Pass, direct), not a card-feature problem — and the "X free visits" you saw in the brochure usually requires ₹35K–₹100K of quarterly spend to unlock. Pick an airport; we'll show the network, your card's visit count, and the spend gate.

DreamFolks vs Priority Pass vs direct — the chaos
DreamFolks is the dominant Indian aggregator — most domestic Indian-issued cards access lounges through it. The DreamFolks app issues a digital voucher that lounge staff scan at entry. No physical card needed.
Priority Pass is the international standard. Every super-premium Indian card includes a PP membership; you get a separate physical PP card. Coverage is broader internationally but tighter inside India (PP-stamped Indian lounges are getting rarer).
Direct means the issuer has its own arrangement with the lounge operator — common for AmEx and a few HDFC partner cards. No third-party app, just present the card.
Spend criteria are the silent gotcha: many "free lounge visits" are unlocked only after ₹5K–₹50K of quarterly spend. Numbers above are headline limits, not always "day 1" limits.
