Latest Update for Axis Bank Credit Cards with Airport Lounge Access 2025

Axis Bank credit cardholders will soon be without airport lounges through Dreamfolks. Effective from 1 July 2025, Axis Bank customers will no longer have access to Dreamfolks to access domestic or international airport lounges. However, to still have access to international lounges, Axis Bank has announced a new partnership with Priority Pass. Under this arrangement, eligible Axis Bank credit cardholders will have access to a much larger lounge network through the Priority Pass program.  

At this time, only digital cards that permit access to lounges through Priority Pass will be issued, and no physical card will be provided. Cardholders will need to activate and register their Priority Pass account online prior to use. Once activated, the digital Priority Pass can be used to access the lounges around the world with Priority Pass.
