1time rocked my plane (in a good way!) on this Cape Town to Johannesburg flight, with providing more space for us and giving our little one a cup to suck as the plane took off - take care of my kids and I'll love you! |

1time begins Cape Town - Lanseria & Durban - Lanseria flights, and between Johannesburg and Mombasa. "Lanseria Airport is a convenient option for passengers staying or operating in the northern or north-western suburbs of Johannesburg, as it provides a great alternative to OR Tambo International. The airport also presents a great opportunity to significantly increase our passenger share. We are, therefore, very excited about flying from the airport and plan to ensure that our usual high standard of service and value for money continues with our Lanseria routes. These new routes are indicative of our positive view of 2012, and demonstrate that we are growing and developing all the time. Moving forward, we are looking for further avenues to explore to make flying easy and affordable, with routes to other exciting destinations on the horizon." said Rodney James, 1time airline CEO on 5 Dec 2011. |

It operates 8 MD80 planes, which are a stage 3 generation aircraf craft within the family of DC9 planes. The MD87 has 132 seats, whilst the MD82 and MD83 have 157 seats.

TIP - ask for a seat on the front half of the plane. The MD8x series of aircraft have 2 engines under the tailfin of the aircraft, making sitting at the rear-end of the aircraft a noisy experience (akin to sitting inside a washing machine during its spin cycle). The MDx aircraft allow for boarding at both the front and rear-end.
Partnerships
1Time airline has a car hire partnership with Avis and a South African accommodation agreement with the City Lodge group. City Lodge and Avis offer discounted booking on 1time airline's website for passengers who had booked flights. Together with its flights, a 1time travel insurance product is sold (which is underwritten by AIG Travel Insurance).
