Find cheap flights from Madagascar to South Africa

Cons: To learn that the flight was over 3 hours later was a problem for different reasons : - what to do in a airport during 3 hours ? - we arrived in St Denis at 11:10 pm, + luggage time so nobody could come to pick us

Pros: everything

Cons: too little of ethanol on board (nothing)

Pros: Food and service are above usual airline standard.

Cons: Both directions transit/transfer at Reunion/St. Denis was a joke. This is more the fault of the airport than Air Austral. The security facilities are inadequate and slow, staff unfriendly ... consequently the transfer can never be made in time and departure is delayed. After all of that you get back on same aircraft !!! why not leave passengers flying onwards to Johannesburg (Mauritius) on the plane ... as I have experienced with many other airlines.

Pros: Crew and service were top rate.

Cons: Flight delayed over an hour. There was little information passed along within the airport. Boarding/manifest at the gate was a madhouse with no order or flight class boarding. This was surpassed at Reunion by the mobs crowding to get their visas.

Cons: Flight was delayed and caused me to miss my connecting flight on another airline that had no other flights that day. As a result of the lack of communication and general lack of professionalism, staff refused to rectify the situation and take responsibility, and I was forced to stay overnight. Worst

Pros: Excellent crew, approachable and helpful. Seat was comfortable with legroom and headrest at the right height

Cons: Better selection of videos

Cons: The flight was delayed for hours in Delhi with no notice, making us spent the night at the airport. The flight was supposed to get to Abidjan around noon, but because of the delay, we missed the connection and the next available flight was the next day which would mean I missed my next flight and a work conference. In Delhi, the Ethiopian Airlines people assured me that it could be worked out in Addis, and that they could change my final destination to get me where I needed to go. However, in Addis, the employees were rude and did not even read the email that the Delhi people sent them. They would not do anything except send me to Abidjan the following day, which was useless since I already had to be in the US by then. The level of service is incredibly poor and disorganized, with many people having to wait for hours to even talk to someone and no information about what needs to be done. In the end, i had to purchase a new ticket to get to my destination. Had I known this was the case in Delhi, and that i would have to purchase a new ticket, I would have done so in Delhi rather than waiting all night and going to Addis. I fly very often and this is both the worse experience and service I’ve ever experienced on a flight, and they weren’t even able to get me to my destination.

Pros: Nice aircraft and comfortable seating in economy with a good selection of music and movies on the seat back entertainment. Business class was mostly empty and looked very nice and roomy. They should upgrade their frequent flyers the way other airlines do to fill those empty seats and generate the good PR that results. The food was good in my opinion, and the Ethiopian coffee is great. Affordably priced tickets was the selling point for choosing them. They are a young airline and while they go through the motions of being a modern service-oriented airline, but alas for the most part they aren't there yet.

Cons: We've flown a few Ethiopian Air flights now and while the flight attendants are nice, they aren't always on top of things and paying attention to the needs of the passengers. Not as helpful or attentive as we're used to. Boarding is chaotic and the overnight transfer at Addis Ababa is a total mess. If you get to leave through the airport in the early morning things are relatively painless, but what a nightmare of pushing and shoving chaos when it's busy. The hotels they put you up in are mediocre at best. Last week we enjoyed a long wait for the bus ride to the hotel, cold food when we arrived, and a nice hard bed to "sleep" in. We probably won't fly Ethiopian Air if we have to overnight in Addis Ababa again. I'm willing to pay up to fly another airline and skip the overnight as it's just not worth the hassle.

Cons: Air Madagascar is a disaster. Of the four flights I took with them during my trip to Madagascar, two flights were canceled and had to be rescheduled. All four flights were at least at hour late with no warning, and on one direct flight they neglected to put my bags on the plane. Most unrealiable airline I've experienced in all my travels.

Pros: Getting away from that aweful plane and crew

Cons: The flight was hell, and I missed my 1350$ connecting flight to Toronto ! Garbage plane and staff

Pros: Flight staff were very nice.

Cons: Flight delayed and rerouted without notice. If at all possible avoid Air Madagascar. At the very least, plan for the possibility of flight cancellations and extreme delays because that seems to be the norm.

Pros: very few people on the plane

Cons: ran out of bottled water

Pros: We landed on time

Cons: The entertainment system

Cons: Boarding took much time than average and the anouncement was confusing. Some people are still at the registration desk while the speaker annouce "last call to passengers". There was a lack of coordination which makes passenger felt nervous.

Pros: Food was good, entertainment system was good.

Cons: Crew told me to wait while they eat their meal (on a 4.5 hour flight?) headphones get cleared 20min before landing but all the rubbish gets left on your tray table. delayed departure because the plane was being cleaned, i think if they cleared the rubbish in flight then perhaps it wouldn't be so dirty. Also no information provided as to why the boarding was 30min delayed (COMMUNICATION!)

Cons: We continued our journey from Mauritius to Reunion, and given the quite small plane, Air Mauritius deliberately left one of our suitcases (and a few others of other passengers) behind. This was then only brought to our hotel the next day at noon (36 h late). Very annoying, as they didn't tell us beforehand (then, at least we could have packed some essentials in our hand luggage).

Pros: Not too late even though engine problem before takeoff

Cons: LEGROOM PLEASE. Also, for 16h flight a phone charger and an on-demand entertainment system could be considered.

Pros: Crew was really awesome

Cons: More information regarding seating preferences

Pros: Crew were amazing

Cons: The boarding process was just a free for all. Could not get tv to work, no help from crew. It would have been nice to get our passport control forms on the plane, instead of at airport. Other flights comeng in had theirs.

Pros: seat not comfortable

Cons: more drinks along the way

Pros: The crew was amazing and the seat comfortable

Cons: Nothing I can think of yet.

Cons: Old aircraft rickety seats

Cons: Flight departure change 10 min earlier was not emailed. Total confusion and communication problems for boarding. In addition the shuttle bus was sent to the wrong airplane and had to return 3 times.

Cons: At least,the flight took off at early morning,no delay or cancel.

Pros: I like the fact that the flight left the airport in TLE and landed in TNR

Cons: The cancelations, the general lack of information from any source within the airline and almost everything else about Air Madagascar except for the friendly flight crew and the benevolent employee who took pity on us and actually got us on the flight. We were scheduled to leave two days earlier so ALL of our international connections were missed. If you have any their choice of travel in Madagascar, use it instead.

Pros: Flight staff were very nice.

Cons: Flight delayed and rerouted without notice. If at all possible avoid Air Madagascar. At the very least, plan for the possibility of flight cancellations and extreme delays because that seems to be the norm.

Pros: Not much to like about a flight that was moved from 9:30 am to 6:30 am. Ridiculous.

Cons: Out of the blue Air Madagascar decided it needed to charge for what had easily been carry-on luggage for all our other domestic Madagascar flights. They took 50 Euros for checking a small bag. That, of course, was on top of the preponing of the flight by three hours.

Cons: More legroom, seats with more cushion and recline, better food!

Cons: I enjoyed the flight and the host were so friendly and kind.

Pros: Easy going flight with friendly and hospitable crew

Cons: Plane was quite dirty inside and out

Pros: The airplane was quite nice and comfy.

Cons: More announcements about lateness of departure. Less breakable plastic glasses. Passing water out more e often. Better coffee- it was very weak. Better movie selection

Pros: Food and service are above usual airline standard.

Cons: Both directions transit/transfer at Reunion/St. Denis was a joke. This is more the fault of the airport than Air Austral. The security facilities are inadequate and slow, staff unfriendly ... consequently the transfer can never be made in time and departure is delayed.

Pros: Staff was nice. Worked to make sure we were seated in a way that helped us stay together. Plenty of space. Courteous staff.

Cons: Flight was delayed leaving Antananarivo. Flight arrived slightly late to Port Louis (Mauritius). Wanted to get food at airport in Reunion as we got to Reunion at 8:25 pm and had left home (to get to airport in Antananarivo at 2:30 pm, were only served a small snack on flight - it was only 1 hour long), but there was no ATM in the terminal and the only place serving food did not accept international credit cards.

Pros: The flight was four hours delayed in Djibouti and there was absolutely zero, NO communication, whatsoever, provided by the Djibouti Ethiopian Airlines staff what was going on, how long the flight was going to be delayed, or if it was actually complete canceled for that evening.

Cons: Flight ET365 was scheduled to leave Djibouti at 19:00 but did not leave until 23:30, without any screen information or by the Ethiopian Airlines staff at JIB airport how long the delay would be or if the flight was completely cancelled. Extremely unprofessional and ignorant handling of the situation

Pros: Great crew!

Cons: They know better than me

Pros: The crew was amazing and the seat comfortable

Cons: Nothing I can think of yet.

Pros: Very quiet flight, the pilots knew what they were doing from take off to landing.

Cons: The crew is polite, but really slow serving the food and drinks.

Cons: General lack of concern for passengers. The kids in the seats next to me had screens that weren’t working and they wouldn’t even try to fix them. despite the fact that the water was there, when I declined the meal but asked for something to drink they refused until later.

Pros: Seat was very comfortable

Cons: Inflight entertainment could be much better. Not much choice of films, particularly latest ones. Headsets very uncomfortable and sound quality poor.

Cons: We continued our journey from Mauritius to Reunion, and given the quite small plane, Air Mauritius deliberately left one of our suitcases (and a few others of other passengers) behind. This was then only brought to our hotel the next day at noon (36 h late). Very annoying, as they didn't tell us beforehand (then, at least we could have packed some essentials in our hand luggage).

Pros: New aircraft with comfortable business seats

Pros: Yes

Cons: Nothing comes to mind

Pros: Amazing crew

Cons: They need to improve on thier inflight menu and the check-in and boarding experience

Pros: Great crew!

Pros: Not much to like about a flight that was moved from 9:30 am to 6:30 am. Ridiculous.

Cons: Out of the blue Air Madagascar decided it needed to charge for what had easily been carry-on luggage for all our other domestic Madagascar flights. They took 50 Euros for checking a small bag. That, of course, was on top of the preponing of the flight by three hours.

Pros: I was told by your people flight was cancelled Then you tell me to get ready to fly and other messages. If you billed my credit card refund it.

Cons: Flight brought forward by 1 hour without notification, fortunately got to the airport early. One stop flight vs direct which was on original schedule. Chaotic boarding procedures. Avoid this airline if at all possible.

Cons: Flight brought forward by 1 hour without notification, fortunately got to the airport early. One stop flight vs direct which was on original schedule. Chaotic boarding procedures. Avoid this airline if at all possible.

Cons: Plane is old and systems worn out. Seats uncomfortable, little leg room, no premium economy and entertainment system didn't work. I have flown nearly 2 million miles and this has to be one of the worst planes I have been on.

Cons: Food was just okay, there was no entertainment

Pros: They crew was so generous and very polite!

Cons: More room in economy seats

Pros: Amazing crew

Cons: Entertainment

Cons: Mon bagage n'est pas arrivé!!!!

Pros: Plenty leg room space.

Cons: Interesting to see that they use the older plains to routes to "not so developed" countries, where they seem to account China. On other routes, the airline seems to be using much better plains with better overall service. I will surely avoid use this airline on flights from / to China.

Pros: I sat onseat 8c on this old Airbus 319 and my knees were killing me so little legroom. Im only 1.78m

Cons: Take out one row and give cattle class a little bit mor space please. I already have deep vein trombosis from flying.

Cons: General lack of concern for passengers. The kids in the seats next to me had screens that weren’t working and they wouldn’t even try to fix them. despite the fact that the water was there, when I declined the meal but asked for something to drink they refused until later.

Pros: Cattle car

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Entertaining is very poor Devices are not working

Pros: For one reason or another, my vegetarian meal wasn’t reserved ahead of time. The ground staff and then the crew on board were very helpful to ensure that I had a proper vegetarian meal nonetheless.
