Virgin have entered into an agreement with SAA which offers a fully recipricle FF program

I'm guessing VS will use their lounge[?]

The Codeshare will commence on 31st October 2004, im suprised that the FF program hasnt been updated yet[?]

If they do get to use the SAA lounge in Cape Town - it's very nice.

Split into two sections, one for 1st class and the rest for business. Usual facilities - showers, bar, TV etc. Loads of seats and a children's play area. PCs are available but the internet took ages to load up. food wise it wasn't so hot - sandwiches, crisps and biscuits.
Staff very friendly and willing to help too. See link
Airport is modern, enough shops and cafes to keep you occupied and the main waiting area overlooks the apron and runway!

BTW - I'd love to know the full details about the reciprocal FF programme - I've got loads of Voyager points that I just have to use :D

I just mailed VFC and apparently I can't use the SAA Lounge [:(] Has the codeshare with SAA not gone through??? or been delayed?

Just called VSFC and apparently the lounge is
ACSA an independent lounge.
apparently VS pax have exclusive use during VS operating hrs

She did say this was an interim agreement (but wouldn't be drawn into if SAA were going to be the long term provider!)
