Access these Benefits

These benefits are not just limited to domestic lounges. Many ICICI Bank Cards also offer international lounge access, making global travel equally worthwhile. However, one must always check their specific Credit Card Terms and Conditions to know off any applicable restrictions, such as limited access hours or specific lounge locations.

Maxime your Lounge Access Experience

To maximise Free Lounge Access Benefits, check the list of available lounges in advance, through ICICI Bank Internet Banking or the iMobile Pay app.

Another tip is to utilise the lounge access during longer layovers or delays.
