Waiting for my flight from Mumbai to Singapore, I was entitled to use the Maharaja Lounge
since I was a business class passenger. There are two lounges that can be used, one before
security and one after. I chose to use the one after security because the lines were extremely
long. The waiting area after security is very sparse, but had an adequate number of seats. The
lounge appeared decent from the outside. Once inside, I felt I had entered into the 1970s.
There were sofas and chairs that were upholstered with a flower pattern. The tables and
everything else was wood (mahogany?). The two young men manning the information desk took my
lounge pass. I found a seat among the many people who had already taken entire sofas to sleep
on. Being a midnight flight, there were many sleeping people. There were no drinks or food
offered in the open. One of the young men offered water to other passengers, and I had to ask
for water. Later on, the young man was taking the order of another passenger and finally asked
me if I wanted coffee or tea. The only redeeming factor of this lounge was that the Masala
Chai was decent. Other than that, I felt like I had been transported back to the 1970s, due to
the furniture of the lounge. Also, if other Indian passengers had not ordered coffee/tea, I
feel like I never would have been asked, being the only non-Indian passenger in the lounge.
