Priority Pass Lounges at Cape Town International Airport

At Cape Town International Airport (CPT), your Priority Pass membership grants you access to one of the city’s most relaxing pre-flight escapes—the Bidvest Premier Lounge, located in the International Terminal. As the only Priority Pass-affiliated facility at CPT, it’s your go-to destination for a refined start to your long-haul journey.

You’ll find the lounge airside, just past Passport Control in the Departure Hall. Open Monday to Friday from 5:30 AM to 11:30 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 6:00 AM to 11:30 PM, it’s well-positioned to serve both early risers and late-night flyers. Access is limited to a maximum of four hours before your scheduled departure, and if you arrive earlier than that, an early check-in fee applies, payable directly at the lounge.

Once inside, you’ll settle into a calm, carpeted space with plush seating, plenty of charging points, and complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi. The buffet-style dining area features a rotating selection of hot dishes, snacks, and premium alcoholic beverages, including South African wines and spirits—perfect for sipping as you watch aircraft taxi beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. A separate smoking room is also available for those who need it, and children under two are admitted free of charge.

At present, there are no Priority Pass dining credit options at CPT, making this lounge your primary hub for comfort and convenience before an international flight.
