Find cheap flights on South African

Pros: Non stop fron jfk

Cons: Planes are outdated, business class only gives you a duvet and blanket, I'm 6ft 2 and could not lie flat

New aeroplane is best !

Pros: I flew to RSA in the "old' aeroplane so it was a pleasant surprise to fly back in the new plane.

Cons: The food. Not sure why the try to serve a hot meal when fruit cheese and crackers would be perfect. Muffin and cereal for breakast would have been lovely.

Convenient

Pros: It was a direct, non stop to Joburg.

Cons: Pay extra for exit seat row but TV was not working and this is a 15 hours flight. Order vegetarian meal but did not got it. The boarding was very disorganized.

Pros: We landed.

Cons: This flight was on South African Air but under the auspices of United. The was business class on an Air Bus 330+xxx. It's a small, cramped plane. The seats have a limited set of controls --no control for just moving the back or moving the seat forward. The worst part was when the seat was flat out. Your feet keep getting pushed deeper and deeper into a narrow hole. Once in there you aren't able to move them. You can't raise your knees. For a side sleeper you have to keep your feet from going into the hole as you put the seat flat out. The attendants were not friendly and did the minimum required. Also there weren't as many attendants as on other airlines. There was a large selection of movies but not many that I wanted to see.

Cons: Was delayed by and hour and given a bad seat even though I am a premier member

Cons: Poor food and movie choice
