Primus Lounge (Int)
★4.4(179 reviews)IXC · International Departures · airside
The calm, long-hours all-rounder for domestic departures from Chandigarh.
The Primus Lounge in Chandigarh's domestic departures area is the most useful lounge at IXC, and the one most travellers will use given how domestic-heavy the airport is. It sits airside, just past the security hold area, and keeps long hours — 04:00 to 23:00 — so it works for both the early-morning bank of departures and later evening flights. Access is broad for a small airport: it's on the DragonPass network, also accepts Priority Pass, and sells paid entry if you don't hold a membership. Inside, it follows the calm, modern Primus template — comfortable seating arranged in small clusters, soft lighting, air conditioning and large windows looking out over the tarmac. There's a spread of complimentary snacks and soft drinks, hot and cold food, plus premium drinks available to buy, alongside Wi-Fi, charging points and flight-information screens. A two-hour stay limit applies, so it's best timed close to boarding.
Crowding · moderate
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi, charging points and quiet, comfortable seating. Fine for email and light work, though it's a compact regional lounge rather than a dedicated business space, and a two-hour stay limit applies.
A complimentary spread of snacks and soft drinks alongside hot and cold food, with halal and vegetarian options and fresh fruit. Hot and cold non-alcoholic drinks are included, and premium drinks are available to buy. It's an everyday refuel rather than a full restaurant offering, sized for a regional lounge.
