South African Airways (SAA), Africa’s most awarded airline, is proud to announce an enhanced flight schedule which will open new travel options to its valued customers. The roll out of the airline’s network expansion plan will result in an increase in seats available on some routes and an increase in the frequency of its flights on other routes.

“Effective 01 May 2011, we will offer our customers the convenience of flying non-stop between Johannesburg and New York. Our non-stop flights to New York will allow a full day in Johannesburg with an early morning arrival in New York. Further, the reduced travel time result in fast and efficient connections to several key US destinations such as Boston, Chicago, Florida, California, as well as Canada and the Caribbean.” says Theunis Potgieter, SAA’s General Manager: Commercial.

The non-stop flight from Johannesburg to New York (SA203) will depart OR Tambo International Airport daily at 20h35 (SA local time) arriving John F. Kennedy International Airport at 06h40 (New York local time), whilst the non-stop flights from New York (SA204) will depart daily at 11h15 arriving in OR Tambo International Airport at 08h40.

SAA currently is finalizing all outstanding operational details for the northbound non-stop flights on the Johannesburg to New York route.

“SAA now offers the fastest and most comfortable way to commute between Southern Africa and this major global hub. Travelers originating from other domestic points and Southern African countries like Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Angola, and Zambia and as far north as Kenya and Tanzania, can now be in New York with a single, quick connection via Johannesburg”, says Potgieter. This new service will further strengthen Johannesburg’s position as the major aviation hub in Sub Saharan Africa. SAA will utilize the Airbus 340-600 on this ultra long haul operation.

Due to increased demand for services in Africa, SAA will introduce wide body Airbus 340 operations to Kenya and Namibia. Effective 27 February 2011, SAA will operate a wide body aircraft between Johannesburg and Nairobi. SAA will operate a daily frequency to Nairobi with an increase in seats from 2 918 to 3 500 per week. Effective 27 March 2011 SAA will also introduce wide body services between Johannesburg and Windhoek, Namibia on 7 of its 20 weekly services, increasing the number of the airline’s seats available on this route from 5830 to 6 746. These services are perfectly timed for connections to and from Frankfurt, Munich, London and New York via Johannesburg.

“Our customers traveling to and from both Nairobi and Windhoek on the new wide bodied aircraft will now enjoy, amongst other world class features, a lie flat seat and more space in business class, more space in economy class, preferential flight schedules and a host of other value added benefits; consistent with that which our customers have come to expect from us as the national carrier”, says Potgieter.

On the domestic market, SAA will increase the seats available on the Johannesburg to Cape Town route by operating an additional scheduled flight on a wide body aircraft.

South Africa’s Mother City, with its cloud-draped Table Mountain, golden beaches and bountiful vineyards, captures people’s hearts.

Few cities contain a wonderful national park at their heart or provide the broad range of adventurous activities that take full advantage of it. Accentuating this natural majesty is Capetonians’ creative flair with design and colour. From the brightly painted facades to the contemporary Afro-chic décor of its guesthouses, restaurants and bars, this is one handsome metropolis.

Its star attraction is Table Mountain National Park. To Nelson Mandela and his fellow prisoners on Robben Island it was a beacon of hope. To the millions of people who have climbed or been transported in the cableway to its 1,088m peak, it is the ultimate viewpoint over the city.

If you want to get active, Cape Town’s wind-whipped waves and Table Mountain is a nirvana for the adventure sport enthusiast, with operators lining up to ensure you do not go home without having experienced adrenaline rushes like surfing and rock climbing.

For more extreme adventures, such as shark-cage diving or paragliding, you will need to travel out of the city or wait for the ideal weather conditions. But it is not all about thrill-seeking. The Mother City is also a fabulous location for a leisurely game of golf, practicing your yoga moves or a spot of pampering at the spa. Capetonians are also avid supporters of sport – enthusiastically attending football, rugby or cricket games.

Do not forget to leave some space in your suitcase because you will probably be leaving Cape Town laden with booty. An irresistible range of products – from modern African beadwork to fine wines – is guaranteed to turn even the most consumer-averse visitor into a shopaholic.

Local design and fashion are sizzling hot, so if you want to give your wardrobe or home that contemporary African look, Cape Town is the place to break out the credit card. The city also acts as a clearing house for antiques and curios from all over Africa and you will find some amazing pieces here – as well as plenty of fakes!

This is also a delicious city to dine in. The best of Cape Town’s restaurants and cafés are on a par with those of larger and more cosmopolitan cities, and its top chefs can stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Gordon Ramsey, Charlie Trotter or Jamie Oliver, lending the city the nickname, “Tavern of the Seven Seas”.

After dinner, head out on a Friday or Saturday night to Long St, De Waterkant or Camps Bay for an experience of how the locals like to party. During the long, warm summer nights you will find some convivial place to while away the evening. There is certainly no shortage of bars with stunning views of either beach or mountain and, if getting a workout on the dance floor is more your thing, then there is bound to be a club to suit.

It is not all about drinking and dancing. Cape Town’s nightlife also embraces cabaret and comedy venues, and live music gigs with jazz, rock and pop are all popular. Cape Town has a vibrant and creative arts scene. There is a healthy range of theatrical offerings and for music lovers, the exciting news is the development of Old Town Hall into a dedicated music and cultural venue.

If you would like a glass of red with that, there are more than 200 wineries within a day’s drive of the city. Cape Town is the natural hub for touring the Western Cape’s Winelands. This is where South Africa’s wine industry – now the ninth-largest in the world – began, three centuries ago.

Above all, Cape Town is a multicultural city, where respect for different ways of living is ingrained. Given South Africa’s troubled history, such wisdom has been hard won: practically everyone has a fascinating, sometimes heartbreaking story to tell. When the time comes to leave, you may find your heart breaking, too.

Bezuidenhout is optimistic about the airline’s new operation: “Demand has significantly increased across all routes and the introduction of a second presence in Gauteng will further strengthen Mango’s value proposition. We continue to offer the widest distribution and payment method network to our Guests, and operations from Lanseria will further cement Mango’s commitment to its mandate of making air travel more accessible and affordable to South Africans.”
