Air Zimbabwe

Advantages: the cabin crew is very friendly...
Disadvantages: boring music offered, no T.V on board, not enough milk and sugar for the tea etc

Air Zimbabwe is a Zimbabwean airline which operates both domestic and international. Domestically it operates in Big cities such as Harare, Victoria Falls, Bulawayo etc. Internationally it operates in countries such as England, China, Egypt etc. However nowadays due to the country's economy corruption the services to other various countries and cities has been limited and some services have been stopped. I used air Zimbabwe once when I went to Zimbabwe ...
...England the only airport that air Zimbabwe operates at is Gatwick airport, which I don't have a problem with as I live two minutes drive away from Gatwick airport, therefore it could be a problem for those who live in far away cities such as Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Newcastle etc. People have always gossiped about how air Zimbabwe is unreliable in a way that air Zimbabwe sells its tickets to a lot of people more than the maximum number and it ...

Advantages: good service, much better than you think
Disadvantages: they lost our bags, but we got them back

...since I last flew with Air Zimbabwe, it was a return flight from Capetown to Victoria Falls. Before we boarded I was honestly a bit worried about safety and the planes, but I after I safely landed, I changed my mind. The service was really good: friendly, attentive stewardesses in a pretty uniform took excellent care of the passengers. The food was alright, nothing special, but the flight was only 2 hours or even less, so you really need nothing ...
...and started on time. Another advantage was that the tickets were not very expensive, but I can't remember the exact price however. So if you are in Southern Africa, Air Zimbabwe is safe enough to fly with and it was other airlines that disappointed me more in the past. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap flight prices. Seem to run on time.
Disadvantages: Not the prettiest cabin crew!

...class, compared to American Airlines 36”, and Air Zimbabwe 30”. So they are not the worst for space but also far from the standard set by American. However I was comfortable. We took off around 15 minutes late, as is common at Gatwick, which is extremely busy. Early into the flight, the attendants crept down the aisles shrieking ‘Beverage! Beverage!’ at the top of their voices. This shook me somewhat as I had been deep into the in-flight magazine, which had some interesting articles in it. However I regained my composure, and requested a drink…sorry beverage! Then followed the in-flight meal. The starter was a salad of couscous with feta cheese, peppers and tomato, and was extremely tasty. There was a choice of two main courses available. Mexican Chicken or Creamy Pasta. I opted for the Chicken, which... Read review

Advantages: Cheap if you can get the low fares
Disadvantages: Low headline fares rarely available, no customer service, out of the way airports, poor ethics

Tajikistan Airlines, Turkmenistan Airlines, Uzbekistan Airways and Yemenia Yemen Airways. If you can accept Ryanair's lack of ethics, then fly them by all means. I will keep my fingers crossed for you. But they will not get another penny of my money.... Read review

Advantages: cheap but good service
Disadvantages: none

...I had the pleasure of being able to travel with Swiss Air from Jo'burg to London, via Zurich, on my return from Zimbabwe. And when I say pleasure it really was. From the moment we stepped onto the plane the staff were friendly, courteous and helpful. We we're shown to our seats and upon reaching them I realised that I had lost my Jersey. I informed the Stewardess who immidiately phoned down to the driver of the bus to check if I had left it on the bus by accident. As it happened I had dropped it on the way to our seats and another passenger gave it to Stewardess who then duly returned it to me. The way in which the staff treated this incident, which in most people's eyes would be very small and insignificant really impressed me. Once in the air the I found the seats to be very comfortable and the food the best I have tasted... Read review
