Collection of 1time inflight magazines (abouTime):

SA's Top Chefs (May 2012):

  • Cape Town's ethnic dining spots

  • 1time passengers qualify for discounted Avis Car Rental rates (R164 per day at the time of writing, will change, terms & conditions apply)

Muay Thai (April 2012), 1time cover their technological developments:

- they are developing a cellphone application for booking & checking in.

- "Now when you receive emails such as flight itineraries & Home e-Checkin reminders, by simply clicking on a link within the email, you will be routed to our website & your 1time booking will be populated automatically."

License to thrill (March 2012), 1time cover their desire to expand their reach in 2012

  • "The first major development is a new route to Mombasa, Kenya, with two direct flights available every Friday and Monday from OR Tambo International Airport to Mombasa International Airport."

  • "We are also very pleased to announce that we will be operating from Lanseria International Airport from 5th March 2012. Lanseria, which is less than 50 km from Johannesburg and Pretoria, makes a great alternative to the busy OR Tambo International Airport, especially for those living in the northern and western suburbs of
    Johannesburg. This new terminus will allow our passengers to connect to Durban and Cape Town twice daily, with flight arrivals and departures each morning and afternoon/evening."

Star Struck (February 2012)

  • "The conventional thinking is that you should use your full taxable allowance to invest in retirement annuities. But if you are younger than 45, this is no longer the case, says Sneddon. New legislation is putting curbs on where you may invest, making it harder to invest all of your money in equities (which traditionally outperform other asset classes over time)." (Ed: there's an interesting article on whether to maximise retirement fund savings which came out after the budget)

Horse trails (January 2012)

  • "Mombasa is a magnificent holiday location, and we expect that many 1time passengers
    will eagerly grab the opportunity to explore this coastal Kenyan city, which offers tourists
    a variety of pleasurable activities. These include picturesque beaches, fishing, and the
    chance to see game at the nearby Tsavo National Game Reserve."

  • Lion Park near Johannesburg - now open till 21h30

Green Christmas (December 2011)
