A new Lounge has come up in Pune airport called Earth Lounge. This lounge got opened recently on 21st October 2019. Pune airport being a busy airport with many people travelling for business was in dire need of a good Lounge. The one which Pune has called above ground got closed few years back. After the closure of that lounge a new food court opened. The new food court was descent with lot of pocket friendly food options. I have been there few times and enjoyed a snack or two. But this got closed as well a year back.
This newly opened lounge is situated on gate number 5 at upper level. To be frank it was difficult to locate the lounge even with lot of standees kept at different locations advertising new lounge at gate number 5. The entrance to the lounge is in the same lane as the public washrooms, this is bit weird. But lounge set up is nice. Even though small it has good space for seating. They currently accept diner and master card for entry. But I hope in future they will be accepting other cards. When I went there today at 5am no food was available except pasta. I was not hungry at5 am in the morning but wanted to take a look inside. It looks lounge will have good food options with beverage and drinks counter. When I was there I found the staff to be courteous and willing to help if needed. They served me a coffee which was served from Lavazza coffee machine. It tasted good, I will definitely go there next time for a snacks.
I hat looks to be Beverage cum drinks counter. It was closed when I went there
