Mr Cheap flights | Geoff, thanks for popping by the site, and sorry to hear about your bad experience flying SA Airlink on the Johannesburg to Pietermaritzburg flight route. I've written to SA Airlink and invited them to reply to your complaint on this page. I hope that future flights have more blue skies and tailwinds in them. |
Geoff Grantham | I was scheduled to travel to Pietermaritzburg on 6th of January 2007. Firstly the flight was rescheduled to leave an hour late because of "problems with one plane". We boarded as rescheduled an hour late and then sat on the ground for an additional half hour because the replacement plane was not fuelled. On arrival overhead at PMB we could not land due to "fog" and were then dropped in Durban and put on a bus to Pmb. One of the groundstaff in Durban said no flight had landed in Pmb the whole afternoon becausethe ground radar beacon was not working, the "fog" apparently was not that bad. What is particularly galling is that it became apparent our crew knew we would not land in Pmb before we had even left Jhb but maintained the charade, thus preventing us from informing people who would have collected us in PMB that we would be even later. I left home in Pretoria at 15.00 and got to my final destination in Pmb at 21.45. I have driven to Pmb quicker than that. I think SA Airlink should be expelled from the route. |
