I went straight to the GVK lounge at first without looking at the Lounge card. At first I asked the attendant at the reception if they accepted Air India, they said yes ofcourse, though on looking at the lounge card they saw Loyalty Lounge written on it and hence refused entry. So I think it could be pax traveling J & F actually get the GVK lounge.

Hopefully this is because AI965 is an international connector or because of the checkin agent's mistake. Otherwise, it would be a horrible change of policy if *G in Y no longer gets GVK.

I can confirm (as recent as Oct. 04), that *G in Y does indeed get Loyalty Lounge!

Once, I was actually given the 'Loyalty Lounge' invite even while traveling in J: I went straight to the GVK lounge, they took my invite and BP, and as soon as they saw an Executive Class BP, the 'DRAGONS' waved me in!!

and he told me that they do not get it either.

This was in August 2016 and I was flying GOI-BOM domestic on AI...

F.A.
