Cheap BA business class |
13 Mar 2009 flights |
There's a little price war going on in the market for business class tickets. British Airways are offering the lowest price we have seen them offer for a business class ticket from Joburg to Durban - R1862 - which just happens to be the exact same price that SAA are charging (we've been monitoring business class prices since the 7th June 2008). In every other survey of business class prices on this route SAA have been cheaper.

Top-notch Cape Town photos
These must be some of the highest quality photos I've seen a tourist take of Cape Town. Other than the quality photos, it was interesting to hear what Dudado (who flew from Buenos Aires to Cape Town) found novel and surprising:
-
South Africa's ATMs have six languages to choose from
-
the low prices (South Africa is a cheap destination for tourists)
-
wild animals on the coins (Ed: our little one loves this too)
-
driving on the left-hand side of the road
Airport brain
"There's a saying at the airport that passengers pack their brains in their suitcases before they arrive; they always look disorientated, distracted and seemingly incapable of looking after themselves. 'Airport brain' is an official phenomenon. It is the only way to explain why perfectly normal people suddenly become useless as soon as they set foot inside a terminal. They seem to renege on any commitment to personal responsibility. They can lose their passport, their ticket, their luggage, their husband and their mind, all between check-in and the gate." as quoted from Imogen Edwards-Jones' Air Babylon (obtainable from Kalahari books).
