AI international lounge in Delhi
Hi,
What is this lounge in T3 International like please? Does it have showers that are available? We have an 8 hour layover connecting from IST to MEL in June.
Is the Wifi still broken?
I only found one or two reviews that are recent, and they were awful.
Otherwise, we might consider the transit hotel.

If you are on a AI J revenue fare to MEL they will comp your eaton hotel stay. The lounge is OK, wifi works (as of February), but 8 hours is tough..

Thanks for the info - how would I arrange the comped Eaton stay? I am on two separate tickets (for good reason), so my AI ticket is revenue J originating from DEL . If I don't book Eaton in advance, will I have a problem? Can I get to Eaton with a "Confirmation slip" and not a boarding pass, or will I be able to get a boarding pass at 1:30am in transit?

AI sells heavily discounted J fares from Europe to Australia to fill the MEL/SYD flight. To soften the blow of the long layover you get free Eaton hours 
Not if you are starting in DEL.

You are star alliance gold so you can also use the excellent Lufthansa and Singapore airlines lounges if the timing suits In the evening.. The latter opens at around 1730 AFAIK and shuts just as LH opens Great booze good food
update... you are presumably connecting TK to AI. The SQ lounge will open 0630-0930 if you care to use it. Nice hot breakfast great coffee and newspapers.. and wifi of course.

I'm on one of the highly discounted J fares Oliver2002 mentioned, flying from CDD to SYD through DEL in July.
I arrive in the morning, and from what I can tell, AI will be the only *A lounge open during my layover.
Will I be able to take a shower?
I also have access to priority club lounges, but they look basic.
It's a 4 hr layover. I assume I don't need do any customs, since I'm just transiting through.
Thoughts?

No, you won't need to pass through customs.
