Mandarin Lounge

Nagpur's before-security lounge — DragonPass or Priority Pass, with Wi-Fi and printing.
The Mandarin Lounge is the landside option at Nagpur's Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, in the departures terminal before passport control and security. It's the airport's more flexible lounge on access: both DragonPass and Priority Pass members are welcome, so it's the entry point if you carry Priority Pass. The space leans calm and comfortable, with muted earth-tone decor, soft lighting and a mix of armchairs and sofas set behind subtle partitions for a little privacy. Large windows give tarmac views. On the practical side it's the better-equipped of the two NAG lounges for getting things done before a flight — Wi-Fi, printing, and flight monitors with boarding announcements — alongside complimentary snacks and soft drinks, with additional food available to buy. A maximum two-hour stay applies, and because it's landside you'll use it before joining the security queue.
Crowding · Moderate at peak, rarely overcrowded
The better-equipped of Nagpur's two lounges for getting things done before a flight, with Wi-Fi and printing on hand. Desk space is limited — small tables rather than full workstations — but it's quiet enough for calls and fine for email and last-minute admin before security.
✓ Printer available
A modest selection aimed at a light bite before a flight — complimentary snacks and soft drinks, with vegetarian options and additional food available to buy. It's a place to grab a quick snack and a hot drink rather than a full meal.
