Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji lounges BOM: every lounge and how to get in

Terminal 1 at Santacruz handles domestic flights on IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa. The lounge bench is short, but all three rooms run 24 hours, which suits the brutal 5am domestic wave better than most airports manage.

There is no airline lounge in T1, so everything here is card or paid entry. The main room is the Adani Lounge above the food court between the gates, reached by the lift or stairs near the security area. The official listing caps stays at 3 hours and accepts cards registered under the Dreamfolks, Priority Pass, DragonPass, and Amex India programs, plus paid walk in entry. The Travel Club Lounge and Good Times Bar round out the terminal as straightforward paid rooms, both with hot buffets and Jain menu options.

Work down this list and stop at the first line that matches you. That is your lounge.

An India issued bank card with a lounge program. This is how most lounge entry works in India, and Mumbai is no exception. The Adani Lounge T1B officially accepts cards registered under the Dreamfolks, Priority Pass, DragonPass, and Amex India programs, and the DragonPass and Adani partnership signed in late 2025 opened the T2 Adani rooms to DragonPass cardholders. If your Indian credit card bundles one of these programs, check which one and how many visits it carries before you assume the Mumbai door opens.

Priority Pass. Treat it as a maybe at BOM. The app lists Adani Lounge East in T2 international departures and the Adani Lounge in T1B, yet field reports through 2026 describe the Adani desks declining the card while some third party lounges accept it. Verify in the app the week you fly, screenshot the listing, and carry a fallback. The full picture, including which cards bundle the membership, sits on our Priority Pass at Mumbai (BOM) guide.

An eligible American Express. The Amex Lounge on level 3 of the T2 domestic side, near Gate 65 opposite Burger King, runs 24 hours with a complimentary bar, a la carte dining, and even a shoe polish machine. Eligibility follows the Amex India lounge terms, so confirm that your specific card qualifies before you fly.

Cabin or status. Airlines departing T2 send first and premium business passengers to the invitation only Adani rooms in the west wing, and Air India directs its premium cabins and Star Alliance Gold members to the Maharajah Lounge. On the domestic side of T2, the Adani Business Class lounge on level 3 takes full service premium tickets. None of these doors open for any card or pass.

Cash. Walk in entry to the Adani lounges is sold through the Adani One app subject to occupancy, and booking platforms sell 2 hour entry to Adani Lounge East for roughly 4,300 rupees. In T1, the Travel Club Lounge and Good Times Bar both sell entry around the clock. On arrival, the Aviserv lounges sell pods at about 750 rupees an hour. None of it is cheap by Indian lounge standards, but every paid option runs 24 hours, which is more than most hub airports can say.
