Have you ever paid ₹300 for a cold sandwich at the airport? It hurts. Meanwhile, smart travelers are sitting in the AC Lounge, eating an unlimited buffet, drinking coffee, and using free Wi-Fi—all for just ₹2. The secret isn’t being a millionaire; it’s having the right plastic in your wallet.
Most “Lounge Access” credit cards have high annual fees (₹3,000+). But right now, a few banks are offering Lifetime Free (LTF) cards that give you this luxury for zero cost.
1. IDFC FIRST Select Credit Card

- The Benefit: 4 Complimentary Domestic Lounge visits per quarter (if you meet minimum spend). Plus, Buy-1-Get-1 on Movie tickets.
- Who can get it: Salaried employees with a decent credit score.
2. Scapia Credit Card (Federal Bank)
- Why it’s Viral: Designed specially for travelers. It has Zero Forex Markup (usually cards charge 3.5% extra when you swipe abroad).
- The Benefit: Unlimited Domestic Lounge access (based on monthly spending).
- Verdict: If you are planning an international trip, this card saves you thousands on exchange rates.
3. Safari Thorium Sharp Anti-Scratch Luggage
- The Gear Deal: If you are traveling, you need a bag that doesn’t crack. Safari is currently running a massive discount on their “Unbreakable” series.

Next time you fly, don’t sit at the boarding gate. Walk into the lounge like a VIP. These offers change rapidly, so apply while the “Lifetime Free” tag is still active.
