HYD DOM-INT Connection. Separate ticket.
I will be travelling IDR-HYD on 6E reaching HYD around 2pm with checked luggage. My onward flight(separate ticket) on EY is HYD-AUH-ORD departing at 10 pm. I am EY Gold and hopefully have access to lounge at HYD. Can anyone please answer following questions -
1. I understand I won't be able to through check my luggage at IDR, but do I need to exit the terminal to collect baggage or is there a baggage collection and transfer desk for EY that will eliminate need to clear security again?
2. Either at transfer desk or going out and coming back in - would I be allowed to check in/enter that early (around 7 hours before flight departure?
3. Assuming EY would provide me lounge access at HYD, is there any time limit on how long I can be in the lounge, as it is third party operated?
Finally - any suggestion to handle the transit with minimal hassle and access lounge?

2. For international flights, you will be allowed in very early if you have no check-in baggage. Check-in counter usually open 4 hours prior departure for international flights. If you do not have check-in luggage and the guards do not allow you in citing that it is too early, you can always say you have lounge access and I have to work. I use this trick. If you have check-in baggage and the counters haven't opened yet, you can spend some time in Plaza Premium Transit Hotel Lounge which is outside the terminal building (accessible with many credit cards, 3 hours max)
3. For credit card access, 3 hours is the upper limit. If you are travelling in J they might be okay with you staying for a longer time (Provided you check in early)

you will have to collect your bags & then go through security again to enter the international terminal....its unlikely they will allow you into the building 7-8 hours before your flight but even if they do, you won't be able to check in with ey as the counters will only open about 3-4 hours before the flight....

From airport to the city centre (lakdikapul area) budget around an hour. You ll find nice biriyani places. Not sure about the left luggage facility. You can call the airport call center and ask
