Trivandrum Airport Lounges
Thiruvananthapuram International Airport · Trivandrum, India
Thiruvananthapuram International (TRV) in Kerala runs two lounges, both simply called The Lounge: one airside in the domestic Terminal 1 and one airside in the international Terminal 2. Both are DragonPass-network contract lounges that also sell a pay-per-visit day pass, so you don't need airline status to get in.

Where we'd actually go.
The Lounge (International)
The Lounge (International) sits airside in Terminal 2 after passport control, near Gate 5 — a calm, minimalist space for Gulf and long-haul departures. It runs on DragonPass and sells a pay-per-visit day pass, so it works whether or not you carry a membership.
The Lounge (Domestic)
The Lounge (Domestic) is airside in Terminal 1 after security, near the Malabar Express outlet. It serves hot and cold food, takes DragonPass and also sells a walk-in day pass — the natural pick before a domestic flight out of Trivandrum.
The Lounge (Domestic)
Both Trivandrum lounges sell a walk-in day pass, but the food-forward domestic lounge gives the most for a pay-per-visit ticket — hot and cold dishes on a per-guest rate, no DragonPass or airline status needed.

How to get into lounges at TRV.
Trivandrum's two lounges are independent DragonPass-network contract lounges rather than airline-branded ones, so a membership or a pay-per-visit day pass matters more than your airline here. DragonPass is the headline membership at both, each lounge sells a walk-in day pass at the door, and access routes that run through the DragonPass/LoungeKey network (including some travel cards) also reach them. Pick the lounge in your terminal — Terminal 1 for domestic, Terminal 2 for international — as the two don't connect airside.
DragonPass
DragonPass is the main way into both TRV lounges — The Lounge (Domestic) in Terminal 1 and The Lounge (International) in Terminal 2. Present your DragonPass membership with a boarding pass at the desk.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
Both lounges sell a pay-per-visit day pass at the door, charged per guest for a set stay, so you can pay your way in without any membership or airline status. This is the simplest route if you don't hold a lounge card.
Card & network access
Because both lounges are part of the DragonPass and LoungeKey contract network, travel and credit cards that bundle lounge access through those programmes can also get you in. Check your card's lounge benefit and the per-lounge page before you rely on it.

Match the lounge to your terminal
- —Terminal 1 is domestic and Terminal 2 is international — each has exactly one lounge, so your terminal decides which one you can use.
- —The two lounges are in separate airside zones and don't connect, so you can't switch between them once you've cleared security.
- —Both lounges admit departing passengers only — there's no arrivals lounge at Trivandrum.
Pay-per-visit works here
- —You don't need airline status to use either lounge — both sell a walk-in day pass at the door.
- —If you carry DragonPass, that's the easiest entry; otherwise the pay-per-visit rate covers a set stay per guest.
- —Children under five are generally admitted free — check the current policy at the desk.
Food and drink
- —The Lounge (Domestic) in Terminal 1 has hot and cold food; the International lounge in Terminal 2 leans to lighter cold snacks.
- —Expect South Indian and Kerala-style snacks alongside tea and coffee — a good chance to try local bites before you fly.
- —The International lounge doesn't serve alcohol, so plan around that if you were hoping for a pre-flight drink.
Timing and comfort
- —Both lounges are air-conditioned and tend to be calmest outside the departure peaks around flight banks.
- —Power outlets are available at most seats, but they can fill up — charge your devices when you arrive.
- —Flight announcements can be soft, so keep an eye on the screens rather than relying on the PA.
