Anyone know if there are ANY spots to watch live sport at OR Tambo's international departures?

Either one of the various private lounges or preferably a restaurant?

I haven't seen anything there before and i'm a bit concerned about missing a rather big game this weekend :(

Through the passport control, turn left and head [-]right[/-] straight for about 500m along to the end of the passage before it veers to the right, there is a large open plan restaurant facing you. There should be a tv on the left hand side just before the smoking area.

Failing that, turn left after passport again but go up the escalators to the lounges. At the top of escalator, turn right and walk along to that lounge. It used to be a smoking bar with a big tv but it's changed to something else recently and I haven't been in. Not sure if its private lounge of pay to enter???

Spizz travels a lot!

Lol, I actually look forward to the Timberland sale at ORT. The shop is half way along that passage to the restaurant I mentioned, on the right hand side. Usually some nice bargains :D

And probably smokes. All us smokers have spend good time at airports looking for smoking sections.

Haha, coming up 3 years off them now. That's why I'm not sure of the old smoking lounge upstairs. Don't go up there any more.

Used to love Addis Ababa. Straight off the plane you can have a smoke walking to passport control :)
