South African Airways Cycad First Class Lounge, Johannesburg
Where it is: Johannesburg International Airport, Upper Mezzanine Level, International Departures Terminal What it's like: A chef and a team of waiters are on duty at this lounge, where the décor has a quasi-safari theme (rich-colored leather upholstery, lots of woven textiles and baskets). First-class passengers can choose from an eclectic menu of dishes that changes throughout the day (from breakfast eggs to evening choices like Cape Malay curry), plus full bar service; French champagne and top South African wines are poured. Facilities include shower rooms; a soundproof reading room; smoking room; five soundproof snooze rooms with CD players; and a state-of-the-art business center with international telephone,
computer, and Internet services.
