Standard Bank has just launched two new airport lounges at Lanseria International Airport, the Fluent lounge and the Waiting lounge. This comes just after the reopening of Standard Bank’s Library Lounge at OR Tambo International Airport, says Tourism Update.

Schalk Kotze, Head of Affluent, Consumer and High Net Worth SA at the Standard Bank Group said that with so much growth happening in the region, Lanseria is expected to become much busier and they wanted to create a comfortable space for clients to relax and unwind while waiting to board their flights.

The Fluent Lounge features a relaxing space for adults and has a children’s corner to keep the kids entertained. Light meals and refreshments are also available and there is free WiFi access and charge-points for all devices.

The newly opened Waiting Lounge also offers a relaxing space for visitors to wait while collecting passengers from the airport. The lounges are open seven days a week, during the following operating hours:

  • Monday to Saturday: 05:30 to 20:00
  • Sunday: 7:00 to 20:00
