Next up for renovation early next year is the first-class Platinum lounge, also at OR Tambo, followed by upgrades at SAA’s domestic lounges in Gqeberha, Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.

The newly refurbished lounge now features contemporary designs in furniture and fittings, as well a carefully curated art collection.

A variety of comfortable areas now available at the lounge includes a quiet zone, meetings suites and private suites.

There is also a buffet menu available throughout the day, as well as a specially-designed A la Carte menu for passengers to enjoy. A new bar also features, serving up coffee, cocktails, mocktails and South African wines and bubbly.

No coded space to Bleep 🤦‍♂️

Seems rather neutral and somewhat sterile. It looks like nordic minimalists were let loose on the design. What happened to SA vibrant arts and craft?

My girlfriend 's mom won't like this place. If you know you know.

Work in progress, I believe. I want to believe South African Arts and crafts would adorn the walls soon... Else, it feels bland to me. Nothing "South African" about it.

Infact all blacks countries like Haiti, Jamaica. Sé àn síwín ní àbí àn sérè ní ? Or are we just born to adapt to the Jungle way of life ( lawlessness and food chains lifestyle).
