Delay
Desventajas: It was my mother's first time in the States. She had no form of communication with me. I requested wheelchair services for her but the airline never provided. She was hungry, tasty and sat there for almost 12 hours. I was told by the airline, they couldn't provide me with her whereabout. I wasn't sure if she was still in dulles or not. I am going to read the policy that states "airlines are not allow to provide provide passenger's status" .

Terrible airline
Ventajas: The entertainment was fine
Desventajas: The ground staff, flight attendants were terrible. The website didn’t allow me to pre book my food. There were no vegetarian options. I had no food. They didn’t offer me extra salad.
There is NO leg room. The person in front of you lies in your lap.
On arrival we had no gate and had to wait inside the airplane
Uncomfortable
Ventajas: The crew the amazing. Very kind and helpful.
Desventajas: The layout of the plane when picking seats was not the same as the plane itself.
It was really cramped and uncomfortable for a 16 hour flight.
Also SAA staff in RSA did not notify flyers that our flight was delayed until the plane landed at 21:20!
Zambia has outgrown Kenneth Kaunda International Airport
Ventajas: The flight attendants were great.
Desventajas: Lusaka only has one gate and this flight boarded simultaneously with an Ethiopian Airways 777 and Emirates 777. The staff responsible for boarding seemed more confused than the passengers.
The food portions are very skimpy.
The inflight entertainment consisted of some random video about F1 racing rebranding.
Very relaxing flying experience
Ventajas: I loved the fact that there was good leg room - it felt more like premium economy to me.
The boarding was timely - no delays at all
The food options were good and they had other generous items in addition.
I enjoyed the flight, the temperature was just right.
Comfort Issues
Ventajas: The food was good, the service wasn't bad, and all connecting flights were on time.
Desventajas: No matter how hard I tried to get an aisle seat, we were still squished into the middle of the plane. It was so uncomfortable, competing for arm room with the person sitting next to me and then having to force him our of his seat every time I wanted to get up. Even getting our of the seat took something. I am searching now for an easy way to get an aisle seat for our return trip.
comfortable
Ventajas: The last leg of our trip was very comfortable, modern seats, pleasant service, and great food.
Ventajas: given food and drink

Desventajas: A few passengers were really disruptive and loud but that’s not the airlines fault
Too many air bumps
Ventajas: Staff was very professional and polite.
Desventajas: A lot of turbulence situations throughout 16 hrs
Update Planes!
Ventajas: - service
- the flexibility with seats
Desventajas: - no outlets for e-devices
- food is terrible; no good options for vegans
- the arm rest do not go all the way back
- entertainment system needs upgrading
Ventajas: Bag check guy was extremely helpful.
Desventajas: Our audio did not work on the whole flight.
Entertainment systems in need of repair
Desventajas: Many seats the entertainment system didn't work. Both on our outgoing and return trips. Our seats going had one of the two systems inoperable. Coming home both were inoperable.
They both were 16 hour flights!!!
Great flight
Ventajas: The ease of boarding, flight was half empty so lots of space and confort, the seats are well spaced so lots of leg room.
Desventajas: No entertainment, the tvs were not working.
You get what you pay for
Ventajas: Only good things about this flight were the price and the fact that it’s direct from NYC to Johannesburg.
Desventajas: The plane is very outdated, the seats were uncomfortable, the food was barely edible, and the movie selection was almost as outdated as the plane. There was one flight attendant who was extremely rude as well
Nothing works
Ventajas: Some of the crew were nice
Desventajas: Entertainment did not work. Food was cold and terrible service. Plane was frigid. Toilets were a mess.
Second time in 3 weeks my TV on an exit seat did not work
Ventajas: Non stop direct flight from Joburg to JFK
Desventajas: I flew 3 weeks ago in the exit row seat (for which I paid an additional premium) and my TV was not working (neither was the one in the seat next to me) I reported it to the crew that day. Today I get the seat next to the one in my last flight seat and surprise the TV was still not working! I don't think this is acceptable on a 16 hour flight. No one offered any apologies.
Functional A to B
Ventajas: Staff were friendly
Desventajas: Entertainment was terrible - kept breaking and sound was bad. Person behind me had Tourette’s and spoke and laughed and yelled all night. No sleep.
Ventajas: Non stop fron jfk
Desventajas: Planes are outdated, business class only gives you a duvet and blanket, I'm 6ft 2 and could not lie flat
Convenient
Ventajas: It was a direct, non stop to Joburg.
Desventajas: 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.
Desventajas: I couldn’t shop onboard. “The duty free guy are on his break”
Ventajas: We landed.
Desventajas: 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.
Desventajas: Very long lines for check-in and confused staff
Desventajas: Was delayed by and hour and given a bad seat even though I am a premier member
Good budget airline
Ventajas: On time, simple. This is a budget airline without any frills. I would fly Safar again.

Desventajas: Poor luggage handling.
Decent airline

Desventajas: Entertainment system outdated and not sharp
A 15 hour flight. As an airline you know that
Ventajas: I survived
Desventajas: The seat
The food, but that’s fine. We weren’t expecting
The entertainment
Less cattle treatment
Sigh, this is going nowhere
Ventajas: I like that I got an aisle seat this time, even though it was toward the rear of the plane. Because of my right knee, I requested an aisle seat on the flight from NY to Johannesburg, but somehow I didn't get one.
I thought the crew was very accommodating and helpful
Desventajas: The delay because of problems with loading the baggage got us to JFK late. And that was just on the plane after we had to stand in the longest line before boarding. I also couldn't really enjoy the entertainment (e.g. movies or music) because the headset didn't fit well into the arm of the seat. I could only hear voices when I held the headset cord in one position, and it was difficulty keeping it in that position for an entire movie.
Ventajas: The crew superb
Desventajas: The entertainment was bad tv wasn’t working properly
Ventajas: The flight crew was very attentive .
Desventajas: The lack of air vents at my seat made it a very warm flight when we left.
The entertainment system is dated and needs a better screen.
Ventajas: The stewards were so kind and helpful! One of the best flights I've taken.
Ventajas: Best soft landing ever!!!! Great pilots.
Try so hard to alienate passengers
Ventajas: Try as I might. I can’t
Oh, checkin queue was ok
Mid-flight snack was okay
Desventajas: Checkin online was dysfunctional, got the wrong boarding card
Boarding was haphazard
Flight was late
Crew was sloppy and at the same time officious!
Why bother with the arrival video when you acknowledge it is outdated
A generally shabby outfit
I wouldn’t recommend at all

Ventajas: Cabin crew was great and the landing was sublime!
Desventajas: The food could have been better.
Short flight. The plane was clean and the crew was friendly.
Ventajas: Clean and friendly crew.
