This guide is compiled from airline, alliance and lounge-operator sources plus published access rules from Priority Pass and DragonPass — we haven't independently visited every Dr.Ambedkar International Airport lounge yet. Nothing here is a paid placement, and the guide is updated as lounges open, close, renovate or change access policies. Read more about how we verify lounge data.

Where we'd actually go.
Airr Lounge
The Airr Lounge sits airside on level 1, past passport control and security, so you can settle in after clearing the checkpoint with nothing left between you and your gate. It runs on DragonPass and is the natural pick once you're through security at Nagpur.
Mandarin Lounge
The Mandarin Lounge is landside in the departures terminal, before passport control and security, and takes both DragonPass and Priority Pass. It's the better choice if you arrive early and want to relax before joining the checkpoint queue.
Mandarin Lounge
Of the two Nagpur lounges, only the Mandarin Lounge accepts Priority Pass — it's listed on both Priority Pass and DragonPass. If your membership is Priority Pass, this landside lounge is your entry point at NAG.

Main Terminal
Nagpur operates from a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and international flights. Its two lounges sit on opposite sides of the security checkpoint: the Mandarin Lounge is landside in the departures hall before passport control, while the Airr Lounge is airside on level 1 after security. Pick by where you want to wait — there's no airside route back to the landside lounge once you've cleared the checkpoint.

How to get into lounges at NAG.
Nagpur is a membership-lounge airport — there are no airline or alliance lounges, so a DragonPass or Priority Pass membership is the main way in. DragonPass covers both NAG lounges; Priority Pass covers only the landside Mandarin Lounge. Both lounges are also independent contract lounges that may sell walk-in entry, so check at the desk if you don't hold a membership.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the most useful membership at Nagpur — it covers both lounges, the airside Airr Lounge after security and the landside Mandarin Lounge before it. Present your DragonPass membership with your boarding pass at the desk.
DragonPassPriority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the landside Mandarin Lounge only, before passport control and security. It is not listed for the airside Airr Lounge, so plan to use it before you clear the checkpoint.
Priority PassWalk-in day pass
Both Nagpur lounges are independent contract lounges and are marked as purchasable, so paid walk-in entry may be available at the door. Pricing isn't published here, so ask at the reception desk and expect to pay per guest.
Airside vs landside
Choose your lounge by zone, not just membership. The Mandarin Lounge is landside before security; the Airr Lounge is airside after it. Once you've passed the checkpoint you can't return to the landside lounge, so decide where you'd rather wait before you go through.
