The Grace Hotel (Rosebank, Johannesburg) is being renamed "54 on Bath" by Tsogo Sun, who purchased it in October 2011 (yes, it's situated at 54 Bath Avenue!)
They've been planning this since last year, & it's good to see they finally have a date. The first flight in SA with WiFi is a Mango Airlines flight scheduled for 8 May 2012. Vodacom & WirelessG are partnering to provide the service. The idea is to provide uncapped access for a fixed fee, likely to be from R50 to R100.
Cape Town Tourism are running a competition where you could win a V&A shopping experience - to stand a chance to win email to fb@capetown.travel the answer to the following question: "Where does the V&A Waterfront Historical Walking Tour depart from?" You must have emailed by 12h00 on the 25th April 2012.
The Purple shall rule! "Turkish airlines does not care about it customers, try contact them with a problem!! well simply you cannot.
A technical problem caused an 8 hour delay. They promised to put one in an hotel but they dont tell you that if you have no visa the hotel wants 260 Euro. Then you have to pay for your taxi to the hotel.
Well this is what one gets with an award winning airline.
The worst airline in the world and I am going to spread the word to all my business associates NOT to travel with Turkish airlines." Des
"Turkish Airlines is disappointing in their service. I flew Cape Town - Moscow as a Star Alliance Gold member and up to today my points have not been added to my account. I have also sent 3 emails, but received no reply. I cannot add miles online because I'm a South African Airlines Gold Class member and Turkish Airlines requires a pin code. Why is it so difficult to answer a phone and to answer an email?" Chris
