Interlink flight

BA (British Airways) was cheapest, but we decided to book an Interlink flight anyway, as we haven't flown Interlink yet (the Interlink Airlines review on the 6th Apr 2009 was done by an associate of ours - thanks Chris!) and we have flown BA South Africa many times and know that BA gives a good ride.

Flight route & quotes

We were checking prices for 2 adults and a 3 year old to fly from Cape Town to Johannesburg on the 24th July:

• Interlink were quoting R1935

• BA were quoting R1877

Interlink bumps us onto a Mango flight

After paying extra to get onto an Interlink flight to review it, we ended up being bumped onto a Mango flight. We wrote to Interlink to tell them we were trying to review their flights, and this is the last we heard from them on the 7th July 2009:

Hi Nicole

Thanks for this info, and I accept that we will have to fly Mango this time round.

We run South Africa Travel Online (independently rated 65th busiest website in South Africa by the Website Association of South Africa - see http://www.wasa.co.za/stats/cat), and had specifically booked Interlink in order to review your airline which we have never before flown on (see http://www.southafrica.to/transport/Airlines/Interlink-flights/2009/Interlink-flight.php5).  I don't want to end the review by saying that we were bumped off the flight and had to fly Mango.  Could you possibly facilitate a future date in which we can fly Interlink and review your airline?

Warm regards,

Karen & Rob Baker
