Flight Reviews

Burger was returning to Johannesburg from Ndola on Airlink, when a tumour in his back started hurting. The alert Airlink air hostess (" a lovely lady with a lovely personality") noticed his discomfort and gave him a free upgrade to business class.
Bern took an SA Airlink flight from Durban to Maputo: "What contributed to my enjoyment of the flight was that it was on another cute little turbo propelled aircraft, this time a Jetstream 41. It only takes 29 people and there were only 11 on-board making it really comfy. Take-off was to the north-east so we had a lovely view of Durban and I couldn't help thinking as we flew over uShaka Marine World that that was the closest I have been to my office for a while! The disappointing part of the flight was that from just past Durban there was cloud cover all the way to Maputo so I didn't get to see the lovely KZN coast."
