Beware SAA / *Gold Lounge in NBO
If you're traveling from Nairobi with *A then don't bother turning up early hoping to use a nice lounge.
Lounge is being re-furbed so you get sent to a food court (which apparently is at gate 15 but is actually upstairs after security).
Even though the the check in agent says you will get food and drinks there apparently SAA have told the food court to limit purchases to $12 USD so that means you can have some food and 1 drink (when I asked for another drink was told I would have to pay)
Pretty stingy and considering the fare for J from NBO to JNB is a totally cr*p attitude from SAA
