The First Class Lounge of the SAA is since several years no longer in the basement. Now at the end of the departure hall, above, next to the business class lounge. The lounge is now much brighter. There are large windows facing a parking lot.
All in all, a nice lounge, no comparison to the FCT in FRA but better than the First Class in CPT.

There is a small menu, drinks at the Bar, and service staff. In an area with seating, guests can enjoy both, fingerfood and local specialties. Even champagne is available.

Few showers, a relaxation room, and a media room with TV and PC.
