Find Cheap Flights from Middle East to South Africa

Pros: The aircraft was nice, clean and seemed new. The staff was very professional, immaculate uniforms and appearance. Great attention to detail. We traveled from US - Nairobi - Kigali - Johannesburg, changing planes four times. These were some of the nicest planes. I felt very safe traveling this airline.

Cons: Too much bread in the meals. The meals were adequate in quantity but each meal came with two rolls, which was excessive. Just a note - for the boarding area in the airport. Please have restroom facilities in boarding area, past security so you can use the restroom without having to go through security again. Also, if food and beverage is available for sale in the boarding area more passengers would make purchases.

Pros: The crew was easily the WORST I have dealt with. Both on the flight to Abu Dhabi and to NYC. They were rude, unhelpful and extremely arrogant. A co passenger was chatting with one of them and she happened to mention that working with people was the worst ever. She’s been with Etihad for 5 years!!!

Cons: Your crew all need customer service and etiquette training. ASAP!

Cons: See above. Our luggage was supposed to arrive last night. It didn’t. We pray it arrives tonight. Very bad service.

Pros: crew nice

Cons: crew incompetent at special meal requests. I did it online, called, and talked to gate agent. Yet, it still kept getting messed up.

Cons: Impossible to change the flight. We showed up with a confirmed reservation and we were not in the system. Can't check in, print boarding asses or even check on your flight online. The staff and flight crew were great but hampered by old technology.

Pros: Rwanda Air is the best

Pros: Like Kigali it was clean and efficient.

Cons: Food is almost inedible

Pros: The crews are always awesome. The food great especially since they always have cherry juice, my favorite!

Pros: Great food options, very tasty. Crew was attentive, polite and professional.

Pros: Crew was professional, food was good.

Cons: The screen to manage in-flight entertainment was not very responsive and live tv was cutting out constantly

Pros: The food was ok. There was a variety.

Cons: The staff interrogated me at the gate. Asked extraordinarily personal questions, asked me to sing (weird, I know), etc. They proceeded to search my backpack, taking (probably unintentionally) over $100 worth of belongings. They checked my carry on, which took an additional 3 days to arrive. Terrible

Pros: The modern plane.

Cons: When buying the ticket we were not aware that this is a "light" flight. Thus boarding was a pain. We were not able to pay in advance for extra baggage though a lot of effort was spent trying to do that.

Pros: Check in and security process are far from being nuce and effective

Pros: The most kid friendly airline you could hope for. There is no comparison between the staff in this airline and the staff on other airlines.

Cons: They show weird and often violent movies in public screens that are not appropriate for religious audience or for small children who are sensitive to graphic violence.

Cons: It was ok

Pros: The food initially given at 2:00am IST was really good and so I didn't even have to wake up again to eat.

Pros: Food and free WiFi. Ample seating space.

Cons: Rerouted through Dar-es-Salaam at last minute rather than being a direct flight as scheduled

Pros: The planes and shuttles are nice and clean, and the staff are pleasant. I had a long layover in Kigali and the airline gave me accommodation and a food voucher (totally unexpected). Will definitely fly RwandAir again.

Pros: Crew was really great - helpful and kind.

Cons: Both flights delayed which meant I missed my connecting flight. Stuck in Rome airport for several hours with no information about rescheduled flight. Finally figured it out with help of Rome airport information desk.

Pros: Seats small uncomfortable

Cons: Bigger seats.

Pros: Super confortable

Pros: Excellent seat

Pros: All was well, staff was cordial and food decent. I got my special meal with no problem. We left on time and arrived half hour early. Flying with elal, we need to be patient with all the extra security, but that feels safer to me so I don’t mind.

Cons: the entertainment screen didn’t work. I downloaded the “dream stream” to my phone in advance and watched content that way. It worked fine, but it’s not the same content that is available on the actual screen.

Pros: Crew was polite and courteous. Flight arrived on time despite late takeoff.

Cons: Reading light and entertainment system did not work the entire flight despite repeating attempts from crew to restart system. This is a 12 hour flight and with out overhead light and / or entertainment, one cannot do much. Could have been good also if there was wifi, like other airlines have.

Cons: On time boarding

Pros: The flight attendants are very welcoming and helpful. You feel safe and you get to see the pilot who is going to take you to your destination.

Pros: Took the newly opened route between Cape Town and Harare. Was a great experience. Thanks to RwandAir it is easier and cheaper to fly directly between these African cities. Lots of potential on the route. RwandAir really opening up business and leisure opportunities much needed in these areas. Nice to avoid Tambo airport.

Cons: Both flights were slightly delayed (which happens), information about the delay could be better at Harare airport. But no biggy.

Cons: Airline feels basic and no frills.

Pros: Good

Cons: Bigger seats.

Pros: Timing immigration check in is good

Cons: Please stop overbooking....

Pros: Yes crew was very good

Cons: To give small size water bottles after having meals and also to add new movies.

Pros: All was well, staff was cordial and food decent. I got my special meal with no problem. We left on time and arrived half hour early. Flying with elal, we need to be patient with all the extra security, but that feels safer to me so I don’t mind.

Pros: The cabin crew were excellent

Cons: Smaller que in Abu Dhabi at security

Pros: The flight was on time. Food was reasonable.

Cons: A bit more leg-room and there is some scope for improvement in the food. Also, the entertainement could have more south Indian content and also allow to access entertainement for more time.

Pros: The crew was terrible. The aircraft from AUH to bangalore was in bad condition. My seat would keep coming back if reclined, my neighbour’s seat wouldn’t recline.

Cons: The airport in Abu Dhabi was a mess! There was zero organisation and etihad ground staff were not managing things either. My bag came back broken!

Cons: Two hours late...

Pros: Overall the crew was nice and helpful

Cons: I payed a full price for my flight and got the conditions almost like a low cost flight. Don't think I'll bother to pay so much money next time. not such difference....

Pros: The service was good, the food wasn't bad at all. They were able to accommodate my food preference, though I hadn't requested a vegetarian meal. The rest of the flight was pretty bad. The flight boarded and left one hour late. No communication from ground crew about that. Boarding was a madhouse.

Cons: There were like 3 movies/shows to watch on a seat screen that you couldn't control anything. So outdated and old. If I had known, I would have made alternate arrangements. Seats were so small and uncomfortable. No width space and no frontal space when person in front reclined their seat. Horrible.

Pros: The crew was ok

Cons: The flight was delayed for almost 3 hours while we were already sitting in the airplane
