Travel tales
Apart from the obvious pleasures of lie-flat beds, an international wine list and food that you'd pay good money for on the ground, one of my favourite perks of flying Business Class (which doesn't happen very often, I'm afraid to say) is the airport departure lounge.

Free drinks, a comfy seat, great views and the chance to freshen up make them a brilliant place to while away the boring hours between passport control and the boarding gate.

What's more, they're a great place to meet weird and wonderful travellers… only the lucky few are admitted behind those frosted doors, and you're bound to meet someone interesting in the lounge. It's where the cognoscenti of travel while away their time, glad that they're not stuck on the hard metal chairs outside.

Which is why we decided to call the brand new section on iafrica.com 'The Departure Lounge'. Presented by British Airways, it's a collection of travel tales that could have been told in lounges from Berlin to Beijing. We've rounded up fantastic columnists, including Ben Trovato, from South Africa and abroad to tell their tales from travelling the globe. 

Visit http://travel.iafrica.com/departurelounge... I think you'll enjoy the company.
