Travel Survey
Today we are carrying out our very first travel survey, and we invite you to take part in it. But before you do, we must warn you that it asks some hard hitting questions which may make you blush! One of our team mentioned he had to keep looking over his shoulder to make sure that nobody could see what he was answering! A lot of the questions are of an "adult nature". There we go, you've been warned.
Taking part
For those who're still reading, there are 2 things you need to do stand a chance of winning a R1000 travel voucher:

Then reply to this email with your answer to this question: "Is it acceptable to charge people for flights based on what they weigh"?
And that's it!
If you're still reading, I should mention that the above map has nothing to do with the travel survey! What it does show, is a list of the flight routes which are going to be on sale on Monday!
We don't normally mention what's going to be in the next week's newsletter, but this is important enough to give you warning. On Monday we are going to be running flight specials on the following routes:
- Cape Town to East London
- Cape Town to Port Elizabeth
- Bloemfontein to Cape Town.

My second valuable lesson in travel was learnt in Austria. Every traveller is encouraged to partake in a local custom or two, right? So there I was at the top of the ski lift in Hoftgarten, enjoying my first taste of Gluhwein before tobogganing down the hill behind Doug, a fellow traveller, who was going to be my “driver”. Doug had a couple more Gluhweins to drink than I did, and was very laid back. I, however, after only one Gluhwein, was feeling rather light-headed. And that is where I made my second mistake: I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face to “sober up”. What on earth possessed me to do that? AAARGH! Not being the most adventurous of people in the natural anyway (Well, I chose not to ski after someone broke their leg on the nursery slope at the ski-lodge), I was horrified to find that tobogganing entailed a very fast slide down an icy road with lots of twists and turns, and Doug of course was just perfectly oiled to manage this…at the last minute! At one of the bends I got so scared I broke the cardinal rule of the passenger on a toboggan, namely “Do not put your feet down unless you want to stop”. Down went my feet, and the next moment we landed in an unceremonious heap in a clump of snow, whilst other toboggans bore down on us. Clearly when there is a copious flow of Gluhwein available at the top of a ski-lift, it is to make the ride down more bearable, so lesson number 2 has to be: “When in Austria, do as the Austrians do.” By Carol, navigate to Bags Must have Wheels to see her first lesson!
