DEL Airport Lounges?

[SeatBackForward]

Can anyone provide any feedback on the existence of Airport Lounges at DEL?

Any Airline specific lounges?

All I can find here: Airport Services & Facilities - Business Facilities including VIP Lounges, Internet Connections and best accomodation - Delhi International Airport is information about *an* airport lounge, but nothing about entry requirements. Even more bizarre are the sleep pods available to use:

Priority Pass shows three paid lounges.

What airline/ status??

Premium Lounge

Location details: Level 3, International Departures, Terminal 3 View map.
Opening hours: 24 hrs
Operated by a third party on behalf of: Finnair, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines

There is also:

Royal Jordanian: Amber Lounge
American Airlines: ITC Welcom Green Lounge
British Airways: Maurya Lounge

I wonder what the above lounge policies are considering they are all Oneworld listed? can WP use them? and any details about on arrival access?

Expect to be underwhelmed and you might be pleasantly surprised. I was at a partner lounge when flying CX ex-DEL to SYD in J as a OWE. They were just building a kingfisher lounge but when I went it wasn't even close to finished... In the partner lounge the food was awful, wine was barely drinkable.

It was however better than BLR...

Don't forget to take a print out of your itinerary with you to the airport. They wont let you in without one..

Third party lounges - so you will generally get an invite as WP to the appropriate lounge when checking in, you will not be able to access the lounges not applicable to the airline you are flying

Ahh yes, always do for Intl trips.

Ok thanks, I'm just concerned that I may be arriving in very early in the morning, and trying to avoid booking a hotel room from the night before..but looks like the lounges aren't going to be an option.
