Bidvest lounge access: Free with your Nedbank card
Unwind before your flight or work in comfort in a Bidvest Premier airport lounge.
Getting to the airport early, whether you’re flying domestically or internationally, makes travel less stressful. You’ll have plenty of time for the queues at check-in and security, and you won’t end up rushing to your boarding gate. However, this strategy does leave you stuck in the airport with time on your hands every time you fly.
You could spend the time wandering around, shopping on impulse, or you could visit a Bidvest Premier lounge. Whether you just want to relax or need to catch up on some work, Bidvest lounges offer the facilities to do both. No matter the airline or ticket class, anyone can simply pay the entrance fee and enjoy the facilities in Bidvest airport lounges.
Even better news for Nedbank clients, though, is that access is free for certain Nedbank American Express, Mastercard and Visa cardholders, provided you’re a passenger checked in to leave from that airport.

- Nedbank Platinum credit card – 12 domestic lounge visits a year.
- MiGoals Premium debit card - 12 domestic lounge visits a year.

Make sure you set a reminder to get to your departure gate on time
Bidvest Premier lounge perks and amenities
Bidvest lounges are places to unwind and recharge while you travel. The comforts they offer include complimentary snacks and beverages, with menus that change daily. There are also TVs, free newspapers and magazines, and charging facilities for laptops and cellphones. Some provide smoking rooms, showers with towels and toilets, baby-changing facilities and free wifi. Children under 2 are admitted free, and the lounges are also accessible to travellers with disabilities.
Your access to a Bidvest lounge opens 2 hours before a domestic flight and 4 hours before an international flight. If you want access the lounge earlier, you may be charged a fee according to the Bidvest Premier lounge pricing guide.

Access to Bidvest lounges is generally on a first-come, first-served basis. It’s a good idea to view the lounge facilities for your specific airport online before you travel. Also, set an alarm on your watch or mobile device so that you don’t get so comfortable in the Bidvest lounge that you miss your flight. Lounges are not required to call flights, so make sure you set a reminder to get to your departure gate on time.
Visit our bank accounts and credit cards pages to learn more about the Nedbank cards listed above, and to apply online. Access to Bidvest Premier lounges is subject to terms and conditions.
