Bengaluru (BLR) airport lounges — which credit card gets you in

Kempegowda International Airport runs 10 lounges we can put a source under. 96 of the 107 cards we track open at least one of those doors — 60 of them only if you clear a spend or tier gate. Below: every door with its terminal, hours, stay cap, guest fee and the exact cards that walk in. No "check with your bank".

10 lounges 8 access networks 3 A-grades of 8 graded walk-in from ₹1,800

Which card gets you in

Lounge access is not one thing — it is 8 different machines at this airport, and your card is on some of them and not others. Each block below is one machine: the doors it opens here, and every tracked card that carries it. A card in more than one block gets in more than one way.

Direct issuer tie-up

3 of 10 doors · 8 cards named

The lounge admits the card itself, on the issuer’s own list. No network in between — shortest list, most reliable swipe. No card "carries" this the way it carries Priority Pass — the issuer publishes a list and the door reads the card, so we only claim it where an issuer names a card we track.

Issuer-list rooms here: 080 Domestic Lounge ×2 · 080 International Lounge

° The access is spend- or tier-gated: hover the card, or open its page for the exact trigger. A gate you miss is a door that does not open, whatever the brochure said.

Every lounge at BLR, door by door

Terminal, side of security, operator, hours, stay cap, guest fee, walk-in price — and the cards that walk in. Each door carries the document we read it from.

Grade B — 4.2/5 — good, but T2 shines

T1's Level 1 room (BLR11) — opposite Gate 34, next to Starbucks, and the EAST end of T1's two 080 lounges; entry from 3h before departure, under-5s free, unlimited guests, and alcohol is chargeable here (unlike T2). Visa's participating-lounges PDF carries THREE T1 080 codes for T1's TWO rooms, and two of them are this door: BLR101 '080 Domestic Lounge - West PH 1' at 'Domestic Departure Terminal 1, Opposite to Gate 34, Just behind the Star Bucks' and BLR104 '080 Domestic Lounge - East' at 'Domestic Departure Terminal 1, Opposite to Gate #34 adajacent to the Relay shop' (sic). BLR104 SETTLED 2026-08-01: LoungePair's BLR guide (updated 6 Nov 2025) says T1 has 'currently two lounges by this name in Terminal 1, in the east and west ends of the terminal, on two different levels' and places the east one 'in the east end of Terminal 1 on Level 1 ... opposite Gate 34 and next to Starbucks' — so BLR104's East label fits this room and BLR101's 'West' does not. Visa is double-listing one door under two codes; no operator directory shows a third T1 room. Match these rooms on the ADDRESS, never on Visa's East/West label. Not on Amex: both Amex India lists name a single T1 '080' room and Amex's own page puts it on 'Level 2, above Swarovski, opposite Fossil' — the upstairs BLR8 room, so the Amex tag sits there.

Grade A — 4.4/5 from 2,000+ reviews — the quieter T1 pick

T1's SECOND 080 room, upstairs on Level 2 and the WEST end of the pair — on Priority Pass (BLR8) and on Visa's list as BLR102 '080 Domestic Lounge - West PH 2' at 'Domestic Departure Terminal 1, Opposite Gae 2 adjacent to the prayer room on the Mezzanine floor' (the mezzanine and the prayer room both belong to this room); entry from 3h before departure, under-5s free, unlimited guests, alcohol chargeable. This is the T1 '080' room Amex India's two lounge lists mean: Amex's own directions read 'Level 2, above Swarovski, opposite Fossil', matching PP's BLR8 word for word, not the Level 1 room by Starbucks. Visa's third T1 code, BLR104 '080 Domestic Lounge - East', is the LEVEL 1 room double-listed, not a door up here — settled 2026-08-01, see that room's note. The open question is a T1 VIP room, still NOT CARRIED as of 2026-08-01. For it: ICICI's July-2026 consolidated list has an asterisked '080 VIP Lounge' row for Terminal 1 (row 12, Domestic), and a TechnoFino thread ('080 VIP Lounge - West T1 Bangalore — accepted credit & debit cards') carries dated first-hand entries, BOB Eterna on 15 Jun 2026 and IndusInd Pinnacle that summer, plus a long card board. Against it: ICICI's address for that row — 'Mezzanine Level, After Security Check, Near Smoking Zone, Opposite Gate 12, 2nd Floor' — is word-for-word its own 'West PH 1' and 'West PH 2' rows, i.e. THIS room, and every operator surface still shows two T1 080 doors and no VIP tier at T1: Priority Pass's seven-room BLR directory (BLR8–BLR12, BLR17, BLR18), Plaza Premium's catalogue (six 080 rooms, every one Terminal 2), LoungePair's T1 breakdown, BIAL's own lounges page, and Visa's three T1 codes, none of them VIP. Note the T2 precedent cuts the other way: the Courtyard Club is a VIP SECTION inside the main T2 lounge sharing its reception desk, which is exactly how a T1 VIP room could sit at this room's address. We carry no door we cannot place, price or verify with an operator; TFS's own eligibility portal (loungeaccess.travelfoodservices.com) would settle it but is OTP-gated.

Grade B — Amex-only room; unrated by PP, decent food

T1's former international lounge, now running domestic — Amex's lists still file it as 'TFS Intl BLR (Now Domestic)' and its directions still say 'after SHA and Immigration'. An Amex-only door: it is on both Amex India lounge lists and on the Global Lounge Collection finder, but Priority Pass's BLR directory has no such room, so no PP/Visa/Mastercard card gets in. One takeaway food box per person, luggage storage, smoking rooms; conference rooms and printing are chargeable, and Amex flags alcohol as temporarily unavailable. Amex publishes no opening hours for this room — assume it tracks T1's flight bank, not 24h.

The VIP room beside the 080 International flagship, and India's most expensive card-openable door — Plaza Premium sells it from USD 122 against USD 49 for the 080 International Lounge next door. No card NETWORK admits you and Priority Pass has never listed it: PP's BLR directory carries seven rooms (BLR8–BLR12, BLR17, BLR18) and none is a VIP room. The only free way in is ICICI's consolidated domestic lounge list (July 2026, row 10, "* 080 VIP Lounge / Terminal 2 / International"), whose asterisk footnote reads "Complimentary access is eligible only for Diamant, Emerald Private Metal and Times Black Credit Card customers" — so the Unlimited tier only, 3 hours a visit, guests chargeable. Added 2026-08-01, mirroring the DEL/HYD Privé grants; ICICI's address ("Level 4, opposite Irish House") matches Plaza Premium's page word for word.

Branded the Courtyard Club by the operator, and not a separate door: it is the quiet VIP section INSIDE India's best-rated domestic lounge — you check in at the same 080 reception desk and, if your card qualifies, staff walk you across. The name is on the record from the terminal's launch (Deccan Herald, Aug 2024: 'The Courtyard Club at the 080 Lounge in Terminal 2 at the Kempegowda International Airport'), in LiveFromALounge's T2 review and in CardExpert's dedicated review (updated 6 Jan 2026), which calls it 'the Courtyard Club that's popularly known as VIP Lounge at KIAL Terminal 2'. It is the dearest domestic seat in India: Plaza Premium sells it from USD 56 against USD 28 for the 080 Domestic Lounge, and LoungePair resells two hours at ₹5,124 against ₹2,427 for the main room. Priority Pass has never listed it and no card network opens it; the one complimentary route is ICICI's consolidated domestic lounge list (July 2026, row 11, '* 080 VIP Lounge / Terminal 2 / Domestic'), asterisked to 'Diamant, Emerald Private Metal and Times Black' only — SpendWisely's walkthrough says the same and adds the negatives out loud: free with ICICI Emeralde Private Metal and Times Black, NOT with Priority Pass and NOT with HDFC Infinia. An older vintage of the same ICICI list (Times Black's December-2024 cut, rows 8–9) already carried both T2 VIP rooms, so this is a standing grant, not a July-2026 addition. UNVERIFIED, checked 2026-08-01: CardExpert's review also lists BOBCard Eterna, plain ICICI Emeralde, Yes Private, DBS Vantage and Equitas Elite, but compiled that list 'after reviewing the images of the cards accepted for entry at the lounge' — one photo-of-the-door-board source, with no second surface anywhere and a reader in its own comments refused on a plain Emeralde — so we grant nothing on it. Hot food is served in the main lounge, not in the section; one complimentary drink per guest since Dec 2025. Added 2026-08-01. Plaza Premium sells a THIRD VIP room here — 080 VIP Arrival, landside, from USD 42 — that ICICI's list does not carry, so no card opens it.

If no card of yours opens a door

5 doors here publish a walk-in price. Pay it and you are in, card or no card — the prices are the operators' own published rates, and desks quote higher at peak. Everything else at BLR is cards-and-invites only.

Worth doing the arithmetic before you swipe: a ₹3,000 walk-in is a bad trade against a card whose whole annual fee buys a season of visits — that comparison is exactly what the lounge-card ranking computes.

This is one airport out of 119 with a page of its own — the full map, every airport and every railway lounge we hold, is on the lounge map.
