About SLOW Lounge
The Slow Lounge at Cape Town International (CPT) is the lounge many travellers hunt for as the Standard Bank lounge in Cape Town. Slow is the lounge brand of FNB and RMB Private Bank, so access here is via qualifying FNB and RMB Private Bank cards, shown in the access rules below. If you bank with Standard Bank, your airport lounge is usually a Bidvest Premier lounge instead, not Slow, so check your card before you count on getting in. It sits in the Domestic Terminal and serves domestic departures. Clear security and confirm your gate is on the domestic side. Entry is capacity-controlled and the lounge can turn cardholders away when full, especially at morning and early-evening peaks, so arrive with a buffer. Food and drink are complimentary once you are admitted on an eligible card. The specific card tiers, guest rules and any per-visit limits are in the access table below. Access terms and lounge operators change, so treat this as a guide and confirm with FNB before you travel.
