Since the closure of Bird Lounge, the O'Vetra Lounge is the only lounge available at Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar. It is located in Terminal 1, which is used for domestic flights within India.

The O'Vetra Lounge is a larger space than the older Bird Lounge, with a modern design. Its location post-security makes it more convenient for departing passengers.

Unfortunately, some credit cards that previously provided access to the Bird Lounge will not get you into O'Vetra Lounge, which has a more limited selection of credit card partners. If you don't have access through another method, consider purchasing a day pass to O'Vetra Lounge through LoungePair.
