I have an ICICI Bank Sapphiro Credit Card. I’m flying from Bangalore’s Terminal 2 on a domestic flight. Will my card get me complimentary access to the 080 Lounge?
Yes, the ICICI Sapphiro Credit Card does provide complimentary access to the 080 Lounges at Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) in Bengaluru. This benefit is available for both domestic and international travel, subject to the quarterly limits on your card.
How Lounge Access Works with the ICICI Sapphiro Card
I was discussing this with my colleague who holds a Sapphiro card. She explained that the card provides lounge access through the Dreamfolks DragonPass Lounge Programme. Since the 080 Lounges at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are part of this Dreamfolks network, the card works seamlessly for entry.
Using the Card at the 080 Domestic Lounge
My colleague used her card at the 080 Domestic Lounge in Terminal 2 last month. At the reception, she simply had to present her ICICI Sapphiro Credit Card and her flight boarding pass. The lounge staff swiped her card to validate the complimentary access, and she was admitted without any charge.
Understanding Your Quarterly Visit Limit
A financial advisor pointed out a key detail about the Sapphiro card’s benefits. The card offers a certain number of complimentary lounge visits per quarter. For example, a common benefit is two free visits every three months. He said it’s important to keep track of how many visits you have used in a quarter, because any visits beyond the complimentary quota will be chargeable.
