Our opinion on the lounge Bidvest Skylounge

During a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town on Mango (in economy class), we went with our family to this lounge Bidvest Skylounge at Johannesburg Airport.

Audrey et moi disposons chacun d’une Carte de PlatineMD d’American Express. Cette carte nous offre un abonnement gratuit à Priority Pass ainsi que des accès illimités aux salons d’aéroports pour le titulaire ET un invité.

Ainsi, chacun de nous pouvons entrer gratuitement avec nos enfants. Vu que ma mère voyageait avec nous, je l’ai faite entrer en utilisant l’un des 6 accès offerts par ma Carte Visa Infinite Passeport Banque Scotia.

Technically, it has to be in the name of the holder of the card (i.e. me) then one of his guests (but here, I entered with another Priority Pass subscription). But hey… as often, the employees close their eyes ;)Around 6:00 pm, the lounge is not very busy.
