Slow Lounge to open at Lanseria International Airport
FNB, in partnership with Comair, has announced the latest addition to the award-winning Slow Domestic and International lounges which offer an exclusive and upmarket experience to qualifying premium customers. Based at Lanseria International Airport in Johannesburg, the new lounge is scheduled to start operating from 30 August 2017 and can cater to 100 guests at a time.

Chris Labuschagne, CEO of Credit Card at FNB says the expansion of the partnership with Comair into Lanseria Airport is aligned to their broader strategy to provide customers, business travellers and families the exclusive opportunity to experience one of the greatest aspects of travel – the tranquil respite of a luxury travel lounge.
“The uptake of Slow Lounges has surpassed expectations since the initial partnership and launch in 2010,” adds Labuschagne.
Catering for travellers on the go
Despite the pairing down of certain services such as buffet catering, in-house spa and private washroom facilities, Slow XS, while moderately-sized due to Lanseria Airports’ capacity, has been specifically designed to offer a unique yet synonymous experience with all the lounges, and will cater for the diverse needs of travellers on the go, whether it’s conducting business from a comfortable, chic yet professional ‘out-of-office’ working environment, networking, catching up with friends and family, or indulging in a good book while waiting for a flight.
The launch of Slow XS follows the recent revamp of the new and improved lounge at OR Tambo International Airports’ (International Terminal) in Johannesburg, which is currently the largest, catering to 326 guests.
Alternate Slow Lounges are located at Cape Town International Airport (Domestic Terminal), OR Tambo International Airport (Domestic Terminal) and King Shaka International Airport (Domestic Terminal), while Slow in the City is located on the corner of Rivonia and West Street, Sandton.
Access to Slow Lounges is exclusive to qualifying cheque and credit card clients across FNB Premier, Fusion, FNB Private Clients, RMB Private Bank, FNB corporate and business cardholders, as well as business class customers travelling with British Airways (operated by Comair) and Comair the group’s VIP guests.
