Guwahati (GAU) airport lounges — which credit card gets you in

Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport runs 2 lounges we can put a source under. 154 of the 1119 cards we track open at least one of those doors — 90 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".

Grade B — Adequate buffet-and-wifi standard; unrated

Operator (Adani) page explicitly confirms 'Open 24 Hours' for both GAU lounges while Priority Pass caps its entry window at 05:00–22:00 (GAU3) — both are true; outside 05:00–22:00 you need walk-in/LoungeOne, not PP. The old Primus Lounge is delisted from PP though Mastercard's 41-lounge India PDF still carries the stale Primus row (re-checked Jul 2026). New T2 took Akasa, SpiceJet, Alliance, AI/AIX and all international flights between Feb and Mar 2026 — but IndiGo, GAU's biggest domestic operator, still flies from T1, so this door still matters.

Grade B — Walk-in sibling; thin data

Ground-floor sibling in the old Primus footprint; operator-run 24h. Visa's mid-2026 domestic list carries BOTH GAU rooms (GAU01 ground / GAU02 first floor) — claim verified against the PDF itself, Jul 2026. The reported Adani flagship lounge in new T2 ('Bamboo Orchids', open since 22 Feb 2026) is still on no operator lounge page and no network directory (Adani's GAU page re-checked 22 Jul 2026 — T1 rooms only) — we'll add that door when one actually opens.

How access works hereFold that back up 5 access networks · 154 cards that get in, one by one

Which card gets you in

Lounge access is not one thing — it is 5 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.

Priority Pass India

1 of 2 doors · 52 cards

Priority Pass at an INDIAN door. The kit arrives by post and the desk reads the membership — but on most Indian cards a within-India PP visit is billed at US$27–35, so only the cards listed here enter free.

Direct issuer tie-up

2 of 2 doors · 53 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: The Lounge 1 · The Lounge 2

° 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.

If no card of yours opens a door

Not one door at GAU publishes a walk-in price. That is not the same as "you cannot pay" — most desks will sell you an entry — it means no rate we can source, so we quote none. If a card below doesn't open the door, budget for a desk quote in local currency.

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