Bangalore Airport Lounges
Kempegowda International Airport · Bengaluru, India
Kempegowda International (BLR) serves Bengaluru from two terminals, and most of its lounges are 080-branded contract lounges run by the local operator. Terminal 2 holds the bigger field — airside 080, Z Lounge, Air India and several pay-in VIP and arrivals lounges — while Terminal 1 has a cluster of DragonPass and Priority Pass lounges. DragonPass opens the widest set.

Where we'd actually go.
080 International Lounge
The 080 International Lounge in Terminal 2 has the widest access at BLR — DragonPass, Priority Pass and oneworld all get you in — and sits airside in the international departures area. A solid all-rounder for most long-haul travellers leaving from T2.
Air India lounge
The Air India Lounge in Terminal 2, opened in March 2025, is the first lounge redesigned after the Tata Group acquisition. It serves Air India Business Class, Star Alliance Gold and eligible members — the most polished branded-airline option at Bangalore.
080 VIP International Lounge Blr Terminal
The 080 VIP International Lounge is a higher-tier pay-in alternative to the busy standard 080 lounge, with locally inspired decor, a hot buffet, table-side dining, complimentary drinks and shower suites — worth the day pass when you want a quieter, more comfortable wait.
080 Lounge Arrival Blr Terminal
The 080 Arrival Lounge in Terminal 2 sits outside security before the exit gates and is open to all arriving passengers on a pay-in basis — somewhere to rest, freshen up and catch a meal after landing, which the departure lounges don't cover.

Terminal 2
Terminal 2 — the newer 'Terminal in a Garden' — handles most of Bangalore's international flights and a share of domestic, and holds the larger lounge field. The 080 operator runs the bulk of them, including the airside 080 and 080 International lounges, the Air India Lounge and a set of pay-in VIP and arrivals lounges. DragonPass and Priority Pass cover most of the airside contract lounges.

A landside kerbside lounge near the domestic arrivals exit rounds out the cluster.

How to get into lounges at BLR.
Bangalore is a DragonPass airport first — that membership opens the widest set of lounges across both terminals. Priority Pass covers several of the 080 and Z lounges, oneworld status reaches the 080 International Lounge, and Air India Business Class and Star Alliance Gold open the Air India Lounge. A number of 080 VIP and arrivals lounges also sell walk-in day passes. Always check whether your lounge is in Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 before you travel.
DragonPass
DragonPass is accepted at the widest set of BLR lounges, including the airside 080 lounges in both terminals, Z Lounge, BLR Lounge, Zero 8 Zero and the T1 Kerbside lounge. It's the single most useful membership at Bangalore.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass works at several Bangalore lounges, including the 080 Domestic Lounge (T1), Z Lounge and the 080 International Lounge (T2). Coverage is narrower than DragonPass, so confirm your specific lounge and terminal before you travel.
Priority PassAirline & alliance lounges
The Air India Lounge in Terminal 2 serves Air India Business Class and Star Alliance Gold passengers; the 080 Lounge (T2) accepts SkyTeam and Star Alliance status, and the 080 International Lounge adds oneworld. Access follows your ticket and frequent-flyer tier.
Star Alliance
SkyTeam
oneworldWalk-in day pass
Several 080 lounges sell entry at the door, including the VIP International, VIP Domestic and VIP Arrival lounges and the standard 080 Arrival Lounge in Terminal 2 — so you can pay per visit without any membership or status.
Business & First class ticket
A premium-cabin ticket gets you into your airline's lounge directly — most relevantly an Air India Business Class fare for the Air India Lounge in Terminal 2. It's the simplest route if you're flying business out of Bangalore.
Air IndiaKnow before you go.
Lead with DragonPass
- —DragonPass covers more BLR lounges than Priority Pass — if you only carry one membership, it's the better bet here.
- —Most Bangalore lounges are 080-operated contract lounges rather than airline-branded, so the membership matters more than your airline.
- —Check the per-lounge page for your exact card — coverage varies between the T1 and T2 080 lounges.
Mind the terminal
- —Terminal 2 handles most international flights and has the larger lounge field; Terminal 1 is mostly domestic.
- —Pick a lounge in the terminal you're flying from — the two terminals are separate buildings.
- —If you're connecting between terminals, allow time for the transfer before relying on a lounge.
Pay-in and VIP options
- —The 080 VIP lounges are quieter, higher-tier pay-in alternatives to the busy standard 080 lounges, with table-side dining and shower suites.
- —Walk-in day passes are sold at the VIP and arrivals lounges, so you can get in without any membership.
- —Booking ahead online is usually cheaper than paying at the door and helps at the smaller-capacity VIP lounges.
Arrivals and timing
- —The 080 Arrival lounges are for travellers landing, not departing — handy to freshen up after a long-haul flight.
- —Bangalore's late-evening international departure bank fills the T2 lounges; go earlier if you want a seat.
- —The VIP lounges have small capacities (around 20–50 guests), so they can reach capacity quickly at peak.
