The honest take

Take Off is Collinson’s restaurant / Eat product at VNS, not a quiet soft lounge. After domestic security, walk toward Gate 2. Present a same-day boarding pass plus a digital Priority Pass or LoungeKey card; the buffet spread counts as one visit in a 24-hour period. Soft drinks are extra. The restaurant may refuse when seats are full. AAI’s passenger-info page also lists an Executive Lounge in SHA G.F. operated by Hotel Pradeep — same F&B cluster, not a second card-network room. Walk-up prices are unpublished; confirm the desk. Do not count on DragonPass.
