I've noticed more Indian travellers are finally finding real value in travel credit cards, especially for international flight bookings and lounge access.
A few years back, most of the people around me only cared about cashback, but now I’m seeing more travellers actively using reward points, airport perks, milestone benefits, and airline transfers to reduce travel costs or make long-haul trips smoother.
Even lounge access (limited to unlimited) seems to have become a major deciding factor now, especially for people taking multiple international trips a year.
Keen to know:
Which travel cards are actually delivering good value right now?
Are airline miles giving better returns than cashback for international bookings?
Which cards have the smoothest lounge experience lately?
Any underrated cards people should look into?
I’ve seen cards like Times Black, Axis Atlas, Infinia, Amex Platinum Travel, being discussed more often recently for travel-related benefits, so wanted to hear some experiences.
