Mango 7th Birthday Lucky Draw
Mango Airlines are turning 7 in November, they have 7 planes and they have 7 destinations they fly to (if you've played half as much Blackjack as this article's author, you will know that triple 7 is a great combination!).
Fittingly, therefore, Mango are having a lucky draw with 7 winners. Each winner gets R1000 paid out on a monthly basis for 7 months.
All you have to do to enter the draw is book a Mango flight between now and 7 November 2013, for flights up to 31 May 2014. The competition is only open to South African citizens (ID proof required) who are older than eighteen years. There are some T&Cs, including that in the event of any dispute Mango's decision is final & binding on all parties.
Mango Happy Days Specials
It's a double header with Mango today. Not just a birthday competition, but also some Mango Happy Days specials (regular readers will note that it's not even a Tuesday, so they've mixed it up a bit this week). It's first come first served, and the Mango special is for bookings made from 9am on the 19th September to 9pm on the 20th September 2013, and for selected flights up to the 28th February 2014 (so for the first time Mango have stretched this into the new year!). As there's limited availability it's possible that prices will have changed by the time you see this, and it obviously is not available on all dates. Book at Mango.

Mango OR Tambo - Cape Town Flight Review : I have found that Mango Airlines are very helpful and also very reasonable with their prices for flight tickets. They normally have cheap flight specials on various occasions throughout the year. We went from OR Tambo to Cape Town last year and we were lucky to get a good price for R750 return each and an extra discount of 25% from my Edgars card above that. The crew were very friendly and made a joke whilst they welcomed all the passengers on board. We enjoyed television watching which kept us entertained for some time. What is so awesome is that they discuss the change in weather and what they are going to do to avoid bad turbulence and air pockets and the captain referred to certain areas where we passed where there are good tourist attractions. They really take the passengers interest seriously. We enjoyed delicious sandwiches and refreshments that were sold during the flight. Everyone was relaxed and the 1 hour 55 minutes went so quickly before we landed in Cape Town. I certainly will use Mango for my next domestic flight again. Well done and keep it up MANGO!

UK investigators identified the Honeywell ELT (Emergency Locator Transmitter) as the probable cause of the fire on the parked Ethiopian Airlines 787 in July, and recommended that the beacons be switched off. Honeywell ELTs are used to help locate planes that have crashed. On the same day US authorities ordered airlines to inspect planes with those beacons to make sure that they don't have battery issues
