Is it security?) and that LVI is one of the few International routes, so presume that we stay in the International terminal and therefore use the BA lounges. Given the BA54 and 56 leave late evening what are our options between landing and departing on our 11am flight to Zambia? I would have thought the BA lounges were closed and from memory the SLOW lounges were in the domestic part last time I was in JNB...
There is also a SLOW lounge in the international part of the terminal (coming from security it's on the left, up stairs, before you get to the BA lounge stairs) which will be available to you. There's not much written about it here because they won't allow you in if on BA 54/56 to LHR. Not sure why BA wouldn't check bags all the way through to LVI...
