Why dont you just book online or call them up ? Would be much better than shutting between lounges.

You can't book online for a day rate, and no one picks up the line when I call. I guess I can do a walk-up rate, but hate being overcharged for not booking in advance. Will keep trying!

Maybe try dropping them an email or call up the IHG central booking line ?

For those many hours, I would exit and find a airport hotel..There are many
in the area...

Good Luck !

Believe me...you will not be able to spend more than couple of hours
in the airport lounges...They are not that great !

Good Luck...

Arriving MUM by Air Canada at night, connecting to CCU in the morning

Hi,

I am a Star Alliance Gold (United 1K) and am arriving in Mumbai at 10:30 PM, connecting to Kolkata in the morning @ 6:10 AM. I have my son travelling with me. Do I get lounge access for spending a few hours overnight. If not, what other options do I have. Any thoughts / guidance is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sanjib

Same thing, only you will have access to the MALS lounge on the intl side, pass issued at checkin.

Looking for some advice here. My family and I (4 pax) are connecting from a DOM Vistara flight (CCU - DEL) to INTL UA flight (DEL - EWR) with a layover of 6 hours in DEL. We are all Polaris class. I think that gives us choice amongst any of the *G lounges in DEL T3 intl. My question is which lounge is the nicest and least crowded among my options - LH, SQ, AI & PP? From what I read so far here, PP is probably the worst and I am assuming that the LH and SQ are the top 2? Our layover is from 5:45pm - 11:45pm.
