VIP or Not, Luxury Awaits at IGI Airport

NEW DELHI: There was a time when only business class flyers could enjoy airport lounges. But Plaza Premium Lounge, at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport here, offers live kitchen, spa services and other comforts to all kinds of travellers without burning a hole in their pocket.

Inaugurated in 2009, the pay-per-use Plaza Premium Lounge has two transit hotels, four lounges and one spa, massage and shower facility under the umbrella of Plaza Premium Lounge in the capital.

"Our ultimate goal is to give comfort, convenience, value, love and care to our guest and elevate the airport experience," Mohan Limbu, country manager - India, Plaza Premium Lounge, told IANS.

The transit hotel offers well-designed rooms with amenities.

"It can be used by a traveller who has a short transit time to longer transit time e.g. a traveller who has five hours on his hand would love to shower, rest a bit before he heads to his next destination."

"We also have independent airport lounges where a guest can use the lounge service in airside and enjoy food and beverage, Wi-fi, shower, spa and massage services or simply relax and unwind with our comfortable seating options," he added.

In the last few months, the domestic lounge has gone through changes and I was game for an experiential.

As the word "premium" is attached to the name of the lounge, I expected the tariff to be comfortable only to the "elites". Surprisingly, the price of the services at the domestic lounge starts from 1,000 plus taxes.
