An important decision factor when upgrading or getting a new credit card is to know how many airport lounge access visits are offered by the card. And if the card offers it, are there are any spend conditions before using the complimentary airport visits. That's why I am creating a dedicated thread to list down the airport lounge access facility offered by all the ICICI Bank credit cards. I will be covering the below details in the thread:
  1. Annual Fee
  2. Number of complimentary visits for domestic and international airport lounges per quarter/year
  3. Spends required (if any) for the complimentary visits
  4. Is the access available to add-on cards
Do feel free to comment if any info is not accurate or needs to be added to this thread! (y)

Important: Eligible ICICI Bank credit cardholders must spend at least ₹75,000 during the qualifying spend period to unlock complimentary airport lounge access for the following quarter. The spend period runs from the 26th of a month to the 25th of the third month, rather than following standard calendar quarters.

Thanks, add details for railway lounges also.

Can we use priority pass of standard emerald card for usage at Domestic airport ? or is it only applicable for International lounges
 
Great compilation, especially how you’re able to provide a separate breakdown of the spend-based qualifications for becoming a member (of a lounge). Tracking lounge benefits across cards is becoming increasingly difficult these days.
By the way, what’s your take on Times Black Credit Card? I have been thinking to upgrade and was curious to know how the rewards structure and overall benefits compare in real-world usage.

Times Black is good but the annual fee is too high. If you have enough spends to offset the annual fee, then do go for it.

You will have to maximise iShop voucher purchases.
