Primus Lounge (Dom)
★4.4(179 reviews)IXC · Domestic Terminal · airside
Chandigarh's quiet international-side retreat before a regional overseas flight.
The Primus Lounge on Chandigarh's international departures floor is the airport's lounge for travellers heading overseas. It sits airside on the 1st floor, past the security hold area in the international departure zone, and shares the calm, modern Primus style with its domestic sibling — comfortable seating, soft warm lighting, air conditioning and generally low noise levels, making it an easy place to settle before a regional international flight. Access is via DragonPass or paid entry; unlike the domestic lounge, it isn't on the Priority Pass network. Hours are shorter than the domestic lounge — 12:00 to 18:00 — so it's worth checking it's open for your departure before relying on it. The food and drink follow the same everyday format: complimentary snacks and soft drinks, hot and cold food with halal and vegetarian options and fresh fruit, plus premium drinks to buy. Wi-Fi, charging points and flight-information screens are on hand, and a two-hour stay limit applies.

The same everyday spread as the domestic lounge — complimentary snacks and soft drinks alongside hot and cold food, with halal and vegetarian options and fresh fruit.
