South African Airways has reopened The Lounge at Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport in Gqeberha, in partnership with Discovery and Investec Bank. The renovated premium lounge in Gqeberha follows the reopening of the extensively upgraded Platinum and Premium lounges in the international departures terminal at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, as reported by Travel News.
The Gqeberha lounge is on the mezzanine level at domestic departures, and features coffee made by professionally trained baristas using La Marzocco espresso machines, as well as a selection of South African wines and a range of meals.
“Our beautifully renovated lounges, provide an opportunity for our premium travellers to enjoy SAA’s award-winning brand of hospitality on the ground, as well as in the skies,” says SAA Interim CCO, Tebogo Tsimane.
“With South Africans increasingly returning to the skies over the past few years, it’s clear that many are looking for more comfortable airport experiences as they wait to board their flights.”
Lounge guests can also expect dedicated working spaces and complimentary high-speed WiFi.
The Lounge’s operating hours are:
- Monday to Friday: 05h30 to 19h00
- Saturday: 05h30 to 18h15
- Sunday: 07h30 to 20h00
