There are two lounges available at Terminal 1 of Biju Patnaik International Airport in Bhubaneswar. Bird Lounge is located before security, while the newly opened O'Vetra Lounge is after security.

For most people, the O'Vetra Lounge is a better option. It has a larger space with a more modern design, and its location post-security makes it more convenient for departing passengers.

Nonetheless, the Bird Lounge may be more suitable if your credit card doesn't get you into the O'Vetra Lounge, if you prefer to use a lounge before clearing security, or if you're departing from Bhubaneswar on an international flight.
