SLOW International and Domestic Airport Lounges
As a valued FNB Private Wealth Current or Credit card holder, you can experience a place where chaos can't enter, where the journey matters as much as the destination and where a deep breath can last hours. This is SLOW, a brief rejuvenating pause before you re-enter the real world.
You need to have met the rewards qualifying criteria and have a rewards level to enjoy free access. Your reward level will determine how many free entries you are entitled each month. If you are not on a reward level you will have access to the lounge but at a fee (please see Qualifying Criteria and Fees below)
The SLOW Lounge boasts the following:
- Seasonal, freshly prepared food
- Imported coffee prepared by a barista
- A business centre - a work environment of the highest standard (Apple Macs, complimentary Wi-Fi access, printing and faxing facilities)
- A library filled with recreational and business books for your reading pleasure
- Private marble bathrooms
- Armani spa offering where you get a complimentary 15-20 minute treatment before your flight
In additional to this, the SLOW Lounge at OR Tambo International offers you:
- A front-of-house kitchen with a chef to prepare exquisite meals
- Private dens and studies to catch up on work or simply relax
- VIP private suite with en-suite bathroom for families travelling
As an FNB Private Wealth Current or Credit card holder, you may enjoy the exclusive benefits of the SLOW lounge.
SLOW Lounges can be found in the Domestic terminals of O. R. Tambo, Cape Town and King Shaka International Airports.
