Scapia Airport Privileges

If you’re looking to make the most of your time at the airport, you deserve to make the entire airport your lounge! And that’s exactly what we at Scapia have designed India’s first Airport Privileges. They’re perks that work across the airport, not just inside a lounge. This means free meals at any restaurant, shopping credits at any store you choose, spa access in select airports. And, yes, unlimited* lounge access in domestic airports too!

The entire airport becomes your space to use.

Here’s why Scapia Co-branded Credit Cards should be the card you use for your next airport visit – read on.

Airport Privileges: A closer look

Airport Privileges means your Scapia Co-branded Credit Card gives you options at the airport based on what you need at that moment.

Here's what you can enjoy at domestic airports:

Free Meal

Activate Free Meal in the app, eat at any restaurant in a domestic airport, pay with your Scapia card, and get 100% back up to ₹1,000 as rewards. However, it is important to note that smaller airports may have Scapia Coins back of up to ₹500. The rewards hit your account immediately and convert to Scapia Coins on your statement date.

When does it make sense?

When you're hungry (actually hungry, not "lounge snacks will do" hungry), or when you're flying through meal times, when you want something specific.

Shopping

Activate Shopping in the app, buy what you need at any domestic airport store, pay with your card, and get up to ₹1,000 back as Scapia Coins (₹500 at smaller airports). Immediate credit, same coin conversion on your statement.

When does it make sense?

When you forgot something, when duty-free prices are genuinely good, when you've got time and want to browse without guilt. Or maybe you find something that catches your eye and you want to indulge in some retail therapy!

Spa at select airports

Some airports offer spa services as a privilege option. A quick massage or treatment before a long flight can make a real difference in how you board.

When does it make sense?

Before hour-long flights or when you simply want to relax before flying.

Lounge Access

Walk into select domestic lounges, use the Wi-Fi, grab some food and drinks, maybe take a shower if you need one. Stay for up to 2-3 hours before your flight. Generate a QR code on the app, show it at the entrance, and you're in.

When does it make sense?

Long waits, early morning flights, when you want space away from crowded gates.

Airport Privileges give you flexibility. Pick what fits the trip you're on.

You can enjoy International Terminal Privileges too!

If you book an international flight worth ₹50,000 or more on the Scapia app, you can enjoy ₹2,000 worth of Scapia Coins back when you shop or dine at international terminals in India.

How can you become eligible?

For Domestic Flights: You can unlock Airport Privileges in domestic airports when you spend ₹20,000 in a billing cycle (combined across your cards if you have both Visa and RuPay). Your privileges activate on your next statement date.

Here's how the timeline works: If your statement date is the 15th and you spend ₹20,000 between November 15 and December 14, your privileges activate on December 15.

  • What counts toward the ₹20,000: Everything except non-spend transactions like interest charges, fees, and EMI installments.
  • For add-on cardholders: Users of the Scapia Federal Add-on Credit Cards get their own eligibility. They need to spend ₹20,000 independently to unlock their privileges.

For International Flights: You’re eligible for airport privileges when you book an international flight worth ₹50,000 or more in a single booking on the Scapia app. Like domestic airport privileges, your rewards come in the form of Scapia Coins, – you get 100% rewards up to ₹2,000. The privilege can be accessed once you book your tickets on the app.

Limitations on Airport Privileges: You can use one privilege per airport visit.

Changed your mind about what you chose? We’ve got you covered!

If you’ve accidentally activated the lounge privilege but realized you're hungry, you can switch to another option on the app and pick something else. Once you claim your perk (for meals, shopping, or spa) or generate the QR code (for lounge), that's when the privilege gets locked in!

How to Activate Your Airport Privilege 🛫

📍 Airport Privileges can only be claimed when you are physically present at the airport. Make sure location access is enabled on your app.

Not sure if you’re eligible? Tap the Airport icon on the Scapia app. If a green “Active” tag shows, it means you’re good to go!

🍽️ Free Meal | 🛍️ Shopping | 💆 Spa

  • Tap the Airport icon on the home page
  • Confirm your current city/airport location
  • Select your privilege and choose from the listed outlets
  • Upload your boarding pass
  • Slide the Claim Now button to activate
  • Pay using your Scapia co-branded credit card
  • Rewards are credited instantly and visible on your transaction page - they convert to Scapia Coins on your statement date

🛋️ Lounge Access

  • Tap the Airport icon on the home page
  • Confirm your current city/airport location
  • Scroll to the bottom and select Domestic Lounge
  • Choose your terminal and upload your boarding pass
  • Generate your Lounge QR code
  • Show the QR code at the lounge entrance

Heads up!

⚠️ If you forget to activate before paying, you will be charged full price and no Scapia Coins will be credited for that transaction.

🔄 Changed your mind after activating? Tap Switch to Another Option at the bottom of the activation page — as long as you haven’t completed a purchase or generated the QR code, you can switch freely.

When Can You Use Airport Privileges Again after Availing it?

If it's the same airport, wait 24 hours before claiming another privilege.

If it’s a different airport, You’ll have to wait just 1 hour.

For instance, if you’re flying from Delhi to Mumbai with a layover, you can use one privilege in Delhi, wait for an hour, use another in Mumbai during your layover.

Where Do Airport Privileges Work?

Airport privileges work at departure airports only, not when you land. When you land, you're leaving the airport, not spending time there. But if you're catching a connecting flight, your connecting airport counts as departure for your next leg.

Your Airport Time, Your Choice

Scapia Airport Privileges give you four ways to use your time at the airport. Lounge access, free meals, shopping credits, and spa access. You choose what fits each trip.

The airport has what you need and your Scapia Co-branded Credit Card makes it accessible.

So the next time you have a flight, check the Airport tab for your privilege status. Because you might already be eligible!

Enjoy India's first-of-its-kind airport privileges! Join the Scapia Tribe.
