Air India's new flagship is the strongest dedicated airline-lounge option at DEL for eligible premium and Star Alliance guests.
Opened on 16 February 2026, the Maharaja Lounge is Air India's flagship T3 international lounge, with separate seating, dining, work and relaxation areas, a bar and showers.
Access is restricted to eligible Air India premium passengers and specified Maharaja Club and Star Alliance Gold members; it is not a general card lounge.
