Which DEL lounge??
In September I fly AI DEL-DXB in Business class. I am also A3 *G.
What are your rankings of the three *A lounges: AI, LH, and SQ? Never been to any DEL lounge and need some info.
Thanks

Eugh I was there just two weeks ago.
I had a mid morning connection there of about 3 hours on a BLR - DEL - BHX route. The SQ and LH lounges were both closed, they don't open until the evening. I used the AI lounge and it's pretty darn poor. There are some reasonably comfortable chairs and some showers but apart from that, the food and the wifi are both terrible, really terrible.
I hope for your sake you have a laate flight so you can avoid the AI lounge.
There were a couple of nice looking PP lounges there if you have the card.

Thanks, my flight is AI995 leaving DEL @ 20:30. That is why I asked for opinions of all 4 lounges - that is what the *A website shows. It seems the LH lounges are closed until 20:30 and so based on your experience .....
Sounds like I should look closely at the SQ lounges... Thank you.

The SQ KF lounge in DEL is very annoyed when *G on other *A flights show up to enter their pleasure temple. Be prepared to have your *G card ready. The staff has to fill in various forms and computer screens to enable access. In April they tried to even turn me away with a LH F boarding pass. Last month the same with a LH C BP. Each time only the *G card did the trick.

Thanks for this reminder. I will carry my A3 *G card. It is the current card. See my post on the *G benefits with different FFP to redeeming/crediting programme thread regarding carrying the current card. Silly me on that experience.
