SBI Platinum Card Lounge Access for Adventurous Travelers
Since we haven't really been able to travel in the past year or so, it's easy to forget the grind of the actual trip. Sure, the destination is well worth it, but getting there isn't any of the fun anymore.
How can you make the experience better? using your SBI Platinum Card. With the help of DoNotPay, you can get into those swanky spots without breaking the bank or being a world traveler with millions of points. Did you know that some credit cards can get you into these places?
What's So Great About Lounge Access?
If you've always spent your pre-flight or layover time looking for a Starbucks or trying to get comfy in a plastic chair, wondering what's behind those closed doors with the velvet ropes, those private lounges are absolute sanctuaries.
Traveling with the family? Lounges have play areas for the kids to blow off some of that pent-up energy in a safe and clean space. These are just some of the amenities that airport lounges offer.
- Complimentary, premium food and beverages
- Showers
- Fast WiFi and plentiful power outlets
- Secure business centers
- Fully stocked bars
- Cushiony sofas and chairs for relaxing or napping
Lounges bring back the old adage, "Half the fun is getting there."
Still not sure that lounge access is worth the expense? Think about the misery of killing hours in the airport before an international flight, or the exhaustion of a long layover. Here's how lounge access helps you refresh during a business trip, or get a head start on relaxing before a vacation.
| Make the most of an early arrival | Airline requests you check in hours before a flight might make their lives easier, but it's no fun to spend hours in a cramped straight chair. Lounge life lets you unwind with a complimentary cocktail and a comfy chair, without crowds and constant announcements about late flights and gate changes. |
| Freshen up | Sometimes a red eye is a necessary evil, but overnight flights put the best of us in foul tempers. Book a lounge with your SBI Platinum Card and give yourself the luxury of a hot shower and real coffee before you leave the airport to face the day. |
| Skip the lines and save some cash | Sure, lounge access isn't cheap. But when you consider the cost of airport food and beverages along the concourse, it's not such a bad deal. Treating yourself and the family to a lounge guarantees better quality food, and it's complimentary. |
