I found South African Airlines exceeded my expectations, the inflight service was good on both the long haul sectors and the short haul domestic sector from Cape Town to Jo'burg. The flights were punctual and the staff very attentive with a good attitude. I would definately recommend sitting at the side of the plane for long haul flights as the seat pitch seems to be less in the centre seats. On the London to Cape Town route I think this is the superior carrier, the flight attendants are more personable and willing to help than on BA and Virgin and the entertainment system is far superior to BA's. Price wise I have found they are extremely competitive if you book in advance.

I flew to Zambia earlier this year with my cousins for a wedding and went on BA. Regret it now! Good Review. South African Airlines sound good. P.S What was the flying time to Cape Town? Luke.

SAA must be great! My roommate flew with SAA a few months ago and he was really happy. They've got a great entertainment program and comfortable seats! As my boyfriend has got his family living in Pretoria, I'll visit them with him in a few months and I'll do my best to get a ticket of this airline ;) Rini
