Airports are usually associated with check-in counters, security queues, boarding announcements, and the anticipation of reaching a new destination. But for families, there is another part of the journey that often gets overlooked—the waiting time between security and boarding. Playport Lounge is changing that experience by turning those extra minutes into moments of excitement, interaction, and family fun.
At Terminal 2 of Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati, Elevate Experience has introduced Playport Lounge, an entertainment concept designed to bring the spirit of adventure into the airport itself. Located within the Security Hold Area (SHA), the lounge is being positioned as India’s first premium gaming lounge inside an airport security hold area. Instead of simply waiting for a boarding call, passengers can now spend their time discovering arcade games, interactive attractions, and family-friendly entertainment.
The idea is built around a simple but powerful thought: why should the holiday begin only after the aircraft takes off? With children enjoying games, teenagers finding engaging spaces, and families sharing experiences together, Playport Lounge adds a new layer to the travel journey. For Pratik Poddar, Founder of Elevate Experience, the concept reflects the changing identity of modern airports. “Airports are no longer just transit points—they are destinations. With Playport Lounge, our vision is to ensure every journey begins with joy, excitement, and unforgettable memories.” The philosophy is captured perfectly in its tagline, “Adventure Before Take Off.”

The Guwahati launch represents more than the opening of an entertainment space; it points towards a broader evolution in airport experiences across India. As airports increasingly become destinations offering dining, retail, relaxation, and lifestyle experiences, Playport Lounge brings play into the picture. Elevate Experience plans to take the concept to multiple airports across India through strategic partnerships and a scalable franchise model. The ambition is clear—to transform the airport wait from a forgotten gap in the journey into a memory worth taking home. After all, sometimes the first adventure of a trip does not begin at the destination. It begins at the departure gate.
