Bidvest Premier Lounge
★4.6(927 reviews)CPT · Domestic Terminal · airside
Cape Town's most flexible lounge — SkyTeam, DragonPass and Priority Pass under one roof.
The Bidvest Premier Lounge sits airside on the domestic side of Cape Town International, and it's the most flexible lounge at the airport: SkyTeam status passengers, DragonPass holders and Priority Pass members are all welcome. It's built as a calm retreat from the terminal, with modern decor in neutral tones, comfortable seating areas and large windows that look out over the runway. Soft lighting keeps the ambiance relaxed and noise levels low, so it's an easy place to unwind before a flight. Business travellers get dedicated work zones, while the spacious seating suits families and groups. Attentive staff and a clean, organised layout round out a solid all-rounder for most domestic departures from CPT.

A genuinely workable spot, with dedicated work zones, Wi-Fi and power at many seats. Fine for email and focused work before a domestic flight.
A self-service buffet with hot and cold options alongside a bar serving wines, beers and soft drinks, plus a coffee and tea station. The spread suits both an early-morning domestic departure and a later flight.
