Large lounge overlooking the tarmac. Lots of different zones to sit in, but it got really crowded with
Start Alliance and SAA flights using this facility. The mini wraps and sandwiches are acceptable but
you have to ask for bottled water and chips and the attendant had a bit of an attitude. The internet
was very good and the shower facilities good.

Refreshing, clean, well staffed and friendly. Didn't mind spending time here waiting for my flight.
Staff were very friendly and polite and made us feel very welcome on arrival and departure. What you
would expect from a business class lounge.

The layout itself is not very appealing and the food selection is quite basic. I don't take pre flight drinks but
the choice I noticed was very limited and the access poor.

A large, comfortable lounge, with good amenities (including smoking room, TV room, children's room, and
showers). A nice selection of packaged sandwiches and wraps, and a bar with a good range of alcoholic
beverages, as well as a proper espresso machine. Staff were friendly and pleasant.

Checked in at 10am en route to JNB and Hong Kong. On arrival at the lounge counter, staff were
chatting among themselves - not really interested; no verbal communication from them - even after our
"hi" - just a pointed arm in the correct direction after we accidentally turned toward the first
class lounge. The lounge itself is light and spacious. Enough choices of food and some fresh fruit.
Surprisingly no decaf coffee - not an uncommon demand these days. Upon leaving we again had no
acknowledgement - the ladies did not even glance at us as they chatted. A simple smile with a "hello
and welcome" and an "enjoy your flight" as we left would have sufficed. It left us wondering if the
rest of our flight was going to be like this - thankfully it wasn't. Johannesburg Business lounge (on
our return) could give them a few tips.

Great new lounge SAA has in place now from the World Cup. Large and comfortable. Free wifi,
smoking room, good views on tarmac, food good, expresso machine run by staff instead of just
self serve. Overall great new installation in the airlines home airport.

Very large lounge with plenty of sofa style, dining, recliner seating. Seperate kids area,
smoking zone, TV zone, work stations, etc. The bar is manned, and decent selection of drinks.
Food selection is average for J class lounge. No hot food, just sandwiches, fruit and salads.
Excellent showers and bathroom facilities. The staff felt too much at home, and were loud and
obtrusive. Excellent view over the aprons. Free WiFi. Overall great lounge.

SAA have an arrivals lounge just after you clear customs, before exiting into the arrivals
lounge. It is well marked to the left and upstairs. It is not large, but has 4 excellent
showers, good selection of food (breakfast was cereal, toast, pastries, sandwiches, fruit
tea/coffee etc.) No alcoholic beverages. Smoking room. Comfortable seating. Again the staff
are too loud and obtrusive but provide good service. Free WiFi.

As we were flying first on Emirates, we had access to the South African Airways lounge. First
class passengers were directed to the right and business class pax to the left. The lounge is
not really big but it has all one needs except wifi. There are 2 computers, but the connection
is really slow. There is a nice coffee corner with snacks and some alcohol, aswell as a
smokers lounge. The nicest feature however were the showers: really big, clean and with lots
of amenities.

Pathetic is the only word I can use to describe this lounge. I asked at the first class
lounge why we were not allowed in there (facilities fabulous for first class). After
complaining about the lack of warning for business class passengers about the lounge, they
would still not budge saying that we are unable to use the facilities besides the toilets
which were located in the first class lounge (none in the business class lounge and quite far
away!). Very disappointing. Like other reviewers, it is unacceptable that SAA expect
business class passengers to pay the full price but do not provide the full facilities.

Very poor. At approximately 10am it was impossible to find a seat. Selection of food and drink
minimal. No wireless and only two computers. No toilets. No telephones.
