Review of South African Airways


Reviewed 3 August 2016

We flew from Maputo to Cape Town, via Johannesburg, and back. The flights were on time and the crew very professional. Due to the duration of the flights only snacks and light meals were served. More than adequate, I must say. Very short flights meat almost no entertainment.

The online check in made our lives a lot easier especially considering the connecting flights, from the international to the domestic terminal.

We'll certainly fly SAA again!

Flying economy on this flight is torture. Seats are too narrow, impossible to fold your legs without breaking them or kicking the fellow passenger in front of you. Absolutely no legroom. The offered sandwich is ok as much as the drinks.

Easy to book and the service is good, but it can be expensive. The only problem is that so many of the flights on SA Express are delayed or even cancelled. That makes it difficult to rely on a specific time to be where you want/need to be. The food during flights is usually snacks.
