A lesson in upgrading to business class
"Magic Matt" demonstrates in 3 easy lessons how to upgrade to a business class flight with Air Namibia - the successful tactic was approaching the head of Air Namibia Europe, who was on the same flight (from Frankfurt to Windhoek) - and with that type of management it's no wonder that Air Namibia are costing the Namibian taxpayer a lot of money to keep afloat. Matt's experiences included cramming 14 people into the rental car on his first day in Namibia, and wrestling a warthog.
