Priority Pass Lounges at O. R. Tambo International Airport

At O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, Priority Pass members have access to three well-appointed lounges across both the International Terminal A and Domestic Terminal B, offering elevated comfort and convenience for travelers in transit through South Africa’s busiest airport.

In International Terminal A, the Bidvest Premier Lounge offers a polished and tranquil space for international flyers. Located after immigration on the Mezzanine Level, this lounge operates daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Inside, guests will find a relaxed setting with comfortable seating, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a buffet of snacks and light meals. Hot beverages, soft drinks, and a selection of South African wines and spirits are available at no extra cost. Flight monitors, TVs, and magazines help keep travelers informed and entertained during their stay. Access is limited to a maximum of three hours, and children under two are admitted free.

Also in Terminal A is the ORT Sky Lounge, open from 5:00 AM until 11:00 PM. Located airside, near the duty-free shopping area, this lounge mirrors the Bidvest Premier Lounge in amenities, offering refreshments, Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and workspaces, with a slightly more modern design. It’s a quiet space for international travelers looking to unwind or stay productive before departure.

For those traveling domestically, the Bidvest Premier Lounge in Terminal B provides a similarly refined experience. Located airside on the Mezzanine Level after security, the lounge is open from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM and welcomes Priority Pass members with light dining options, coffee, soft drinks, and alcohol, alongside Wi-Fi access and entertainment options. It is an ideal stop for local business travelers or vacationers wanting to relax before a short-haul flight.

Across all lounges, Priority Pass members enjoy access at no additional charge, while walk-in rates may apply for non-members, typically starting at around ZAR 370 (approx. $20 USD), though subject to availability and demand. Each lounge enforces a three-hour stay limit, and space may be restricted during peak travel hours.
