Hi all, I recently had a layover at Bangalore Airport. I spent 1 - 1.5 hours at the Domestic Airport Lounge as my connecting flight was delayed, and I thought of sharing my experience of the same.
This place feels luxurious with plush furniture and stylish lighting with modern aesthetic looks.
I needed to unwind after a long flight and to prepare myself for the connecting flight , so I sank into comfy chairs in their Relaxing Space and it was quiet and pure bliss.
They also have various seating arrangements which are for various different purposes, for example they have dedicated work areas with everything you need to work privately and peacefully, they have a cinema zone with private pods for watching movies. They even have a unique "Fire Lounge" with a cool art installation that looks like a fireplace. You get a Library where you can read, exchange or donate books.
But you should remember that The Bar is not open 24x7. (during my visit the Bar was closed ) and If you are looking for recliners specifically, you will not find it here , though the seats which are provided is comfortable
Food:-
The food and drinks are definitely the highlight of this lounge. It elevates the entire experience to a whole new level. I can confidently say it's of five-star quality, if not better. The variety of options, combined with the incredible taste and quality, is truly impressive.
Note - the food keeps on changing on the basis of breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you might not get what you want.
I tried a lot of food options , but the Mysore Masala Dosa from the Live booth stood out to me and this is one of the dishes that I would want to recommend to you all, do let me know which food item you loved the most.
The Staff were very helpful and they were managing a lot of people seamlessly and I don't have any complaints about this. The Service is spot on and I felt like I am a king during my stay at the Lounge.
The 080 Airport Lounge is a fantastic option for travellers seeking a luxurious and comfortable escape within the Bengaluru Airport. The variety of amenities, including a buffet, dedicated zones, and the overall upscale vibe, will amaze you. However, be mindful of potential crowds and limited bar hours when making your decision. If you value a quiet atmosphere and guaranteed access to all amenities, visiting during off-peak hours is recommended.
