SLOW Lounge · O.R. Tambo International, Terminal A
Walk-in entry
Not sold to the general public and no walk-in rate exists. FNB Premier cardholders may pay ZAR 550 per visit for SLOW International, but that is a cardholder fee rather than a public door rate, so no headline price is recorded.
Slow International at OR Tambo (JNB) is the Slow Lounge for international departures, often searched as the Standard Bank lounge at OR Tambo. Slow is the brand of FNB and RMB Private Bank, so access is via qualifying FNB and RMB Private Bank cards, listed in the access rules below. Standard Bank cardholders are generally routed to Bidvest Premier lounges instead, so confirm which network your card uses. It is in Terminal A on the international side, so you clear passport control and emigration before reaching it. Entry is capacity-controlled and can be refused at busy evening long-haul departures. Food, drinks and seating are complimentary once you are admitted on an eligible card. Exact card tiers, guest policy and any limits are in the access table below. Operators and access terms change, so confirm with FNB before you travel. The OR Tambo airport page lists the other JNB lounges if Slow is not the one your card opens.
FNB Premier, FNB Private Clients, FNB Private Wealth, FNB Business Platinum, FNB Business Black and RMB Private Bank cardholders.
