New Delhi: Soon, you will not need to queue up to reach the lounge of an airport. To promote lounge experience, many operators and credit card-recovering banks are planning direct business, removing aggregators, whose machine a flyer swipes its credit card to enter a lounge, reports Saurabh Sinha’s report. They plan to launch an app where lounge access can be booked in advance. The passenger then needs to swipe his card at the bus lounge gate and is seated in a particular area according to the status of his credit card. “A flyer can log in with an OTP and link all its credit cards. The app will check if he has a lounge access and then allows them to book a lounge at the airport that they are flying.”“For banks, lounge access is one of the main features of the premium credit card, but currently the experience is not good. So the hard-celling premium cards using it as the USP become difficult. Full-service airlines are also upset that their premium passengers have to queue in the same line with the credit card,” said a source.However, many flying people have credit cards, so the use of the lounge is no longer limited to those who blow those full-service airlines. Operators are planning separate areas for premium cards, businesses, first -class flying flying to provide better experience in large lounges. However, two leading lounge operators said, “Agrigators have warned us to stop the lounge entry if they are removed from the business. We are taking legal steps to stop it.,
