Tried the 080 VIP lounge at Bengaluru T2 — nicer seating, but I still prefer T1
Visited the 080 VIP section at Bengaluru T2 recently using my ICICI Emeralde Private Metal. It’s called the Courtyard Club and is inside the main 080 Lounge, rather than a separate lounge.
The seating was the best part for me. Fewer people, more space and a much quieter atmosphere than the main section. If you just want to sit comfortably before your flight, it’s a nice upgrade.
Food was where it fell short. You use the same buffet as the regular lounge, and it’s quite a walk from the VIP seats. Getting another serving means making that trip again.
Having visited the T1 VIP lounge too, I missed its à la carte menu and live counters. T2 felt nicer to sit in, but I enjoyed the overall experience at T1 more.
Also, regular 080 lounge access doesn’t automatically include the VIP section, so check your card’s eligibility.
Anyone else tried both? Curious whether you’d pick T2 for the quieter seating or T1 for the food.
