South African Airways (SAA) has unveiled its newly refurbished domestic departures lounge at Cape Town International Airport, marking a significant milestone in the airline’s commitment to enhancing the passenger experience.
This is the third major upgrade in SAA’s revitalised lounge concept, “The Lounge,” following successful airport lounge renovations at OR Tambo International, Johannesburg, and Chief Dawid Stuurman International, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
The Cape Town lounge has undergone a comprehensive 4-month transformation, resulting in a sophisticated and spacious environment tailored to the needs of modern travellers.
The redesigned space offers expanded capacity and a range of premium amenities, including curated dining areas, collaborative workspaces, private focus booths, and versatile seating options.
Key features of the new lounge include:
Copper-clad concierge desks for a warm, personalised welcome
A mixology show-bar with expert baristas and bartenders
Buffet-style dining with gourmet breakfasts, all-day meals, and crafted canapés
Private focus booths for work, entertainment, or calls
Universal charging ports and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout
Guests can enjoy an elevated culinary experience crafted by SAA’s catering partner, Air Chefs. The menu features fresh, seasonal ingredients and a variety of gourmet offerings, complemented by full-service bars and refined dining facilities that create an inspiring, relaxing, and indulgent pre-flight experience.
The SAA Domestic Lounge at Cape Town International Airport is located at the airport in the domestic departures’ terminal, after security. It is situated near the boarding gates and is accessible to eligible SAA customers, as well as Discovery Bank clients and Investec Private Banking cardholders, subject to tier and booking class.
Guests can experience this new premium airport hospitality from Monday to Friday from 04:30 to 21:00, Saturday & Sunday from 05:30 to 21:00.
