Airfare Increase Tomorrow
If you want to book cheap flights, we suggest you do it today, the 28th February 2014. We have received notice from a several domestic and international airlines that they are going to be increasing airfares from the 1st March 2014.
Some of the airlines have flagged the increase as being a fuel surcharge. This is perfectly reasonable, as the Rand price of aviation gas has increased a lot. However, if you've got a flight to book, it may well be in your interests to do it today.
Of course, it's entirely possible that airfares decrease again, so we cannot guarantee anything; but always want to provide you with as much information as possible to base your decisions on.
The Purple Shall Rule!
Rating 5/5. We had just had a great holiday in Cape Town over December. So with heavy hearts we boarded our Mango flight back to Johannesburg on the 2nd January 2014. On reaching the top of the stairs I was greeted by the Pilot, asking me if I had a Happy New Year and he shook my hand. It was such a nice gesture I told him it had been my birthday on the 1st January. He then wished me Happy Birthday and all the best for 2014. I have never had that ever on any other aircraft. We have flown Mango for the last two years now and when I left one of the flights I whispered to the staff..............'I so prefer the Orange people to the Green people' they all laughed. Being a member of Discovery my husband and I find Mango flights so much more value for money. We are never left waiting on the runway as with the Green people. So even with their discounts and specials, there is nothing to compare to Mango. Our flight experiences have only been the best so far, and we only wish the Orange people flew internationally. The Pilots are always so informative and really pleasant on the flight along with all the other staff. My husband has been in business for a number of years now and always says you are running a great organisation. So for me the Orange people are the best......................that colour is a warm and friendly colour as in our South African sunsets................and it's what I feel when I fly Mango. You guys feel like family as you depict everything South African. Your adverts are great especially the one with the plane flying off into the sunset.Nanette Miranda
