I got to Ahmedabad Airport at around 8:30PM for my 10:50PM flight to Singapore. The outside of the airport was packed with people waiting for arriving passengers, and at first I was confused about where I could enter the terminal. I asked several people who couldn’t understand me, though after asking about the fifth person…

I'm doing AMD-SIN-EWR in Jan and have padding my schedule so much to hedge against any issues. I'm flying into DEL on AI and get in at 11 AM. I'm connecting on Vistara to AMD at 6PM. I rather sit around in DEL than AMD it seems.

This and LHR are my TWO home airports. Glad to see PP lounge finally in AMD.
Previous lounge was unbelievably poor offering.

In order to connect with wifi you need cell number from service providers operating in India. International cell numbers won't receive any code.

This lounge situation is very similar to Kolkata airport, the only restraunt was the lounge, pretty odd for the third largest airport in a country of over a billion people. Except this one was smaller and less crowded

If it was a TATA Docomo provided Wifi in the lounge. Then any mobile number International/Indian can receive the code by text. TATA Docomo provide wifi access at most Indian airports and lounges. I have personally never faced any issue receiving text on my UK mobile number. I dont believe that to use the WiFi you must have an Indian number. That's a terrible idea if that's how it works in this lounge.

A few additions to the review...mostly trivial.in addition to what Lucky has mentioned the food choices include vada pav, samosa, and chicken biryani. Also no bottled water in the lounge though available for purchase right outside the lounge. If you ask at the counter they will give you a code for Wi-Fi as international mobiles will not get the code. Security restriction in place post 26/11 terrorist incident.

Hi Lucky, so did you report the poor state of the bathrooms to theLounge staff?

I successfully connected to the free wifi with my non indian number.

The interface allows you to choose your country's provider in a drop down menu.

I had to drop the "0" from my cell number in order to successfully receive the code to register.

Lucky, please try to correct your spelling of "alright" so you don't sound like an uneducated teenager?

The poor state of the bathrooms is likely a funtion of it being in India.

So you had no access to this (or for that matter any) lounge on the basis of your SQ Business Class ticket? Grüße aus Deutschland

Sitting in the lounge now. I can attest that the wifi is not sending pin codes to US numbers (tried 2 different numbers). Ended up getting one of the staff to log me in with her number. The wifi connection page also states 500mb limit. Overall, agree with the review, underwhelming lounge, but better than the Premium Plaza lounge in HYD.

Was there two days ago. Bathrooms were clean (no worse than the centurion lounge at SFO) and a wider selection of hot entrees were available. I'd place this lounge in the same quality and category as the centurion lounge at SFO - mediocre.

I was there two days after the Lucky's visit.
First I have to note that despite my flight was booked in C on Air India/ANA (AMD-DEL-NRT), I was told I wasn't eligible for the lounge access. Maybe Air India passengers are not eligible for the lounge? I'm not sure. (I am *G.) Instead, I was given a voucher for one drink and one snack in a designated cafe. The "cafe" was frankly terrible, and I was really relieved to find the lounge accepts Priority Pass.
Second, I actually used the shower booth, and it was surprisingly good.

Beside the lounge, how do you think about the level of organization and order at AMD?

I wish they installed an urino in the restroom.

Indeed a step by step and a comprehensive guide to Premium Plaza Lounge! A blend of professionalism and personal advice to readers is what is shown through out your blog. Ahmedabad airport is improving day by day and debut of plaza premium lounge in Gujarat by launching it on Ahmedabad Airport is a step forward. I really appreciate your way of explaining the facilities of the lounge with photographs. All the concerns of a traveller were answered to by your blog. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, are alcohol beverages available and included in the Plaza Premium lounge at Ahmedabad or not? I have priority pass via me AMEX Platinum card, and am travelling via this airport next month for flying to Bangkok....

Food and facilities are very good. The lady on reception was bit rude and not quite helpful. Sitting area is good
