Inside Indian vs. international Airport Lounges: A Cultural and Culinary Comparison
Instagram users were not pleased with the comparison.
In a popular Instagram video, blogger @anuvindkanwal highlighted the contrast between airport lounges in India and those in other countries. The initial segment features “airport lounges in foreign locations,” showcasing a serene atmosphere with only a handful of individuals, most of whom are engaged in their phones or working on laptops.
The scene then transitions to an Indian lounge, bustling with people lined up for food. The footage also showcases an array of delicious Indian gravies, salads, and various other culinary delights.
The video was shared with the caption, “Airport Lounges in India are not made for beginners. No Encalm Lounge was hurt in the making of this reel.”
Airport lounges used to be seen as a private haven for regular flyers looking to escape the hustle and bustle of busy terminals. Yet, in recent times, these areas have become more congested.
However, social media users were not impressed with the comparison as seen in the comments.
One user wrote, “Been in other countries lounge and they are not worth the money or time. The variety of bland food like soups and salads is so not lounge-worthy. Indian food with variety is uncompetitive and hence it is worth waiting in a long queue.”
Yet another comment was, “The problem is twofold. The lounges are not checking seating capacity and letting people in.”
“Don’t think both the videos can be compared. As India’s video of the lounge where the cards are being used for access. Go to the business class lounge of India. It’s pretty similar to the video u showed of the other country’s lounge,” says another user.
