I have an Axis Bank Magnus Credit Card. Can I use it to get complimentary access to the lounges at Bangalore (BLR) Airport for both domestic and international flights?
Yes, the Axis Magnus Credit Card provides excellent complimentary lounge access at Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) for both domestic and international travel. It is one of the card’s key features, offering unlimited visits for the primary cardholder.
Unlimited Domestic Lounge Access at BLR Airport
My friend, who holds an Axis Magnus card, confirmed that the card offers unlimited complimentary visits to domestic airport lounges. He frequently travels from Bangalore’s Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 and uses his Magnus card every time to access the 080 Domestic Lounge. He simply presents his card and boarding pass at the reception for validation and gets free entry.
International Lounge Access at BLR Airport
I was discussing the card’s international benefits with a financial blogger. She explained that the Axis Magnus card comes with a Priority Pass membership, which provides 8 complimentary international lounge visits for the cardholder each year. Since the 080 International Lounge at Bangalore’s Terminal 2 is part of the Priority Pass network, you can use this benefit for your international travels from Bangalore.
An Important Note on the Guest Access Policy
The blogger highlighted a very recent and important change to the Magnus card’s benefits. She said that while the card used to offer a generous free guest policy, this has been significantly devalued. As of 2025, the complimentary international lounge access is only for the primary cardholder. Any guests travelling with you, including family members, will now be chargeable. This is a major change from the card’s previous offerings.
