SA Opens New Arrivals Lounge, Quick Connect
South African Airways has opened a new arrivals lounge at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. The lounge is especially accommodating for those arriving in the country on business and for those transferring onto connecting flights. Food and beverage service, showers, a clothes-pressing service, an e-mail and Internet area and an enclosed smoker’s lounge make the new arrivals lounge a dream for business travelers.
South African Airways also is offering a new “QUICK CONNECT” service at New York’s JFK Airport for all inbound passengers that are connecting to another flight within three (3) hours of arrival. Passengers will be directed to specially dedicated, “QUICK CONNECT” lines in the Immigration Hall at Terminal 4 at New York (JFK) and will be given priority over all other passengers arriving into the U.S. On disembarkation, “QUICK CONNECT” cards will be distributed to those passengers in possession of an onward boarding card and making flight connections within three (3) hours of arrival. “QUICK CONNECT” is a new enhancement that offers SA customers more convenient connections at JFK to interline partners including United Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Virgin America.
