South African Airways fine tuning Perth-Jo’burg ahead of restart
Jan 11, 2024, 05:01 PMI think pricing will be the key to consumer support for SAA but they sure haven't got the mix right domestically so they will need to sharpen their pencils for the JNB - PER route. Their domestic fares (including to neighbouring countries like Zimbabwe) are expensive and their product is only ave...

Review: Qantas Boeing 787 Business Class (Sydney-Johannesburg)
Aug 27, 2022, 11:45 PMHad a completely different experience to the author of this article on July 26th with regard to his "X factor experience". Flew on QF63 in J just a month ago and, for a flight that is entirely during daylight, we were disappointed that the window tinting was engaged soon after breakfast and kep...

Coronavirus cancellations: should airlines refund your money?
Mar 25, 2020, 05:54 PMI'm in the same boat but that $450 credit each year is the only reason I keep renewing the AMEX card. If they don't extend the time I can use the credit then it's bye bye AMEX.

Ferrari SF90 Stradale: the prancing horse goes plug-in hybrid
May 31, 2019, 03:23 PMSo, so much of what this car offers just doesn't make sense in the real world of driving around town, shopping etc. It doesn't even fit a suitcase. Does look outstanding but at over $1M bucks it's just a toy for narcissists

Test drive: Aston Martin Vantage, a 'best of British' bruiser-cruiser
May 29, 2019, 03:33 PMUndoubtedly a great car but why don't AM put good diameter twin dual exhausts to beef up the back end - those skinny pipes look positively anaemic. And as for having Mercedes electrics, my wife and I have had 8 Mercs between us over the past 20 years and only one hasn't had problems with the ele...

Qantas Terminal 3 to BA Terminal 5 transfer at Heathrow
Aug 17, 2018, 08:03 PMHoping I can hijack this thread for some related info. We will be transiting through LHR from JNB to LIN (arriving and departing T5) on separate PNRs, meaning we will need to get our boarding passes for our onward flight at Heathrow. We will also need to collect our checked baggage and re-check i...

Luggage - Hard vs Soft Case
May 09, 2018, 05:14 PMI avoid zips if I can nowadays - even the best of them were prone to getting stuck - even the Delsey double security zips. For checking in we now have some Samsonite Tru-Frame spinners which have stood up very well to a lot of flights. They have a flexible hard shell and latch closures instead of...
