Good to know on the Gold Lounge. It's not a huge amount of time.

The biggest issue is in Chennai, not an easy airport and they don't have a lounge. The shared lounge isn't great at all as I leave at 3:50 AM.

For me QR4788 (operated by Indigo) is preferable, simply because the QR operated service gets to Chennai at 3am -ish. Neither I nor Chennai are at our best at that hour.
