Not only is Velvet Sky leading their game with some of the lowest flight prices in South Africa, but they're also receiving some of the best passenger feedback! Lately all we've heard is praise for the first class service and care offered on Velvet Sky flights. Well done Velvet Sky, keep your prices low and your service high!

"I flew to Cape Town with Velvet Sky this past week and the overall experience was great - efficient and landings super smooth. Thanks, keep it up!!" (Catherine)
