Nationwide airlines experience?
I am planning for a trip through South Africa in March. My itenerary will
probably include a flight from Durban to Port Elizabeth. Apart from SAA the only other operator with a direct connection between these airports, I have been able to find is NATIONWIDE. Does anyone have experience with this airline? Are they reliable and safe? Are there any other airlines plying this route? Any comments welcome! -- ------- Eddy www.couvreur.demon.nl |

Ive never used Nationwide, so I cant say about them -- ------- Eddy www.couvreur.demon.nl -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

Nationwide airlines experience?
Used them this time last year. Durban to Jo'burg.
And the year before. They were first class. I understand that this year they are starting flights to Europe. Mikey "Eddy le Couvreur" wrote in message ...

Nationwide is a popular airline in South Africa and you have no need for concern. What does concern me is that the beautiful city of Cape Town is not on your itinerary :-) Cape Town city is one of the top five holiday destinations in the world and you are really missing something if you give it a skip.

uh huh ? Cape Town is on the tourist map as one of THE most beautiful
cities in the world !!! It just happens to be so !! No doubt, though, there are other parts of South Africa which may come a close 2nd :-) Rocco "Jim Ley" wrote in message ...

I think that just shows how the "Tourist Map" isn't really objective, or unbiassed (obviously places that people visit will be higher than places don't, because people will talk/vote on them, and places on the tourist map will be the ones they visit because of such assertions as yours. It just happens to be so !! That would be your opinion, don't project it on other people, we all share our opinions of places to visit, I just want the OP to be prepared to escape Cape Town and not put all their eggs in the cape town basket by saying - book a long term hotel.

It just happens to be so !! No it does not happen to be so, having traveled Africa especially South Africa for the last 33 years I agree totally with Jim. Cape Town is a place every visitor to SA should try and visit, but there are far more interesting and beutifull places in SA even if the tourist board doesn't promote them. The West Coast !! the Wild Coast !! the Drakensburg the Eastern Transvaal (sorry the old name) the Garden Route what has Cape Town got that these places have not. If you go to only places that the tourist maps designate as beautifull then you will miss out on much to be seen. That would be your opinion, don't project it on other people, we all share our opinions of places to visit, I just want the OP to be prepared to escape Cape Town and not put all their eggs in the cape town basket by saying - book a long term hotel.
