Cape Town's domestic Star Alliance lounge — a calm, contemporary spot before a local hop.

About this lounge

The Domestic Premium Class Lounge sits on the domestic side of Cape Town International and serves Star Alliance passengers. It's a contemporary, comfortable space designed as a calm escape from the busy domestic terminal, with modern seating areas where you can relax before a flight. It's a straightforward, well-kept lounge rather than a destination in itself — the kind of place to settle in for a coffee and a sit-down before a domestic hop to Johannesburg, Durban or one of the other South African hubs. For Star Alliance flyers leaving from the domestic side, it's the natural choice.
