Unverified on an official BA page: ba.com blocked automated access. The ACSA airport page lists 'British Airways - Terraces' in international departures, but that list is outdated (it also lists a domestic BA Terraces that closed with Comair in 2022). Secondary sources (LoungePair Aug 2026, loungeiq checked May 2026) agree it operates near gate A3 in the afternoon (14:40-19:30 or 15:15-20:00), aligned to the BA departure, with longer hours in the seasonal peak. No Priority Pass, no paid entry.
