1TIME AIRLINE review :  15 March 2010 by R Crisell (South Africa)

JHB-PLZ. Hassle free check-in and boarding, though a bit crowded due to sold out flight. Cabin crew very friendly and efficient - pity about the cost of food and drink onboard though. Oldish MD-87 aircraft quite noisy but clean and comfortable enough over a short distance. Best price of the low cost airlines around, and perhaps even better service to.

JNB-CPT-JNB. A refreshing experience for travel on a low cost carrier. Speedy and helpful check-in, fantastic on board service and on-time departure and arrival.

1TIME AIRLINE review :  27 February 2010 by Hirofumi Suda (Japan)

JNB - Zanzibar, an out-dated MD87 clean but worn out seats. It was a 3.5hr flight, and the only entertainment was the inflight magazine. Food was purchase-on-board. They were inexpensive, had filling cold-breakfast at the price of R50 or USD7. Service was very good. However, considering it was a low-cost airline it wasn't cheap. I paid USD 390 for one-way, but it was the only airline flying between JNB and ZNZ non-stop. Having less competition means higher fare.

1 time was on time. The aircraft are a little old and noisy, but no more than other MD-80s. (Many airlines still use this type of aircraft) The crew are friendly and efficient, and they have a good on-board sales menu onboard, although they didn't have some of the items listed available. might be due to the flight only being 1 hour. Very happy with 1 time.

JNB-LVI return. Very surprising for a low cost airline. Ground crew friendly and efficient with quick check in both ways. Onboard product is good - comfortable seat and good meal selection on menu. Crew could have been friendlier though - they seemed a little too focussed on just getting their job done. MD87 aircraft is very old, outdated and terribly noisy! I got a window seat that offered me a full view of the aircraft engine and nothing else on both flights.

Johannesburg-Durban. Flight was in a MD-80 series aircraft. As a LCC airline there wasn't a lot I expected. Seats are comfortable in a 2-3 configuration. Flight left and arrived on time. No frills but importantly no problems.

East London to JNB. Online booking was simple and clear. The flight was on time, aircraft clean and comfortable, service good. Ryanair should sit up and take notice on how a low cost airline can still treat its passengers well!

JNB-PLZ return. MD87 / MD82 with great legroom & high degree of seat comfort for a domestic 'low- cost' service. Efficient service from internet booking in the UK, through to check-in and the flights themselves. First time I've even been tempted to buy in-flight snacks for both quality & price! Friendly staff & punctual to the minute. Would certainly recommend and will fly 1-Time again when back in SA.

MD-80 aircraft are quiet and clean. Staff friendly and in-flight food and drink is fresh and inexpensive. Their prices are all-inclusive unlike SAA and Kulula and generally the cheapest. An honest, no-nonsense carrier with good service and airfares. Easy to book online.

JNB-PLZ and return. Not my first flight with 1time. Flight from JNB was delayed by about an hour, information policy was good, the pilot gave a clear explanation of what went wrong. Sympathetic and friendly cabin crew, clean aircraft (MD-82) with sufficient leg room (I remember other budget airlines with a lot less), efficient service, a bit too much advertising and marketing. Return flight on a DC-9, experience was the same.

Nice airline with low prices, JB-PE + CT-JB for a total of €100! Flights were in time, friendly ground- and cabin staff. Limited legspace for above average height people. Low priced snacks and drinks on board.

JNB-CPT vv. Check In swift in both Joburg and Cape Town with no or very short queues. Plane was a MD80 outbound and a DC-9 on the way back. Both birds were extremely old but cabin was very well kept and clean. Seats comfortable and very good leg room for a budget airline. Try and pick a seat in the front of the plane as engines are at the rear of the cabin and rear cabin section gets very noisy!!! On-board service was the pick and pay thing but prices are very reasonable and FAs didn't push you to buy anything. Staff was generally very friendly and efficient. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Would have been 5 stars if only their fleet was a little more close to "modern".

DUR-JHB Economy. I've flown 1Time on a number of occasions and they never fail to impress. Aircraft interior is classy and clean, cabin crew friendly and efficient, and the whole experience is fun. Also cheaper than most other internal airlines.

Cape Town - Durban. A quick check in and boarding, reasonable amount of leg room on the MD-82 and smooth sailing all the way. Delayed 20 mins but arrived 5 mins early. Food reasonably priced, all marked 'Pick n Pay' (a local supermarket) which I suppose makes sense. Booking on the internet was easy, but never got the confirmation email (fortunately wrote the reference down), neither any confirmations when I made changes to my booking which was a little worrying.

Inside the aircraft you wouldn't think it's a low-cost airline. Have flown their DC9s and 737s before between George and Jo'burg, and it's great, ontime, friendly and comfortable. I'm glad they're back on the Johannesburg-George route, their prices is most of the time the best.

CPT- JNB and returning CPT to JNB. They let us board an earlier plane than booked - no extra charge. Little extras like the chocolates we were given for Valentines day. Ground staff, pilots and cabin personnel are enthusiastic and that does rub off on the whole experience.

22 August 2006

CPT-JNB. My third flight with 1 time and first time with a delay of 45 minutes but we were kept pretty well informed and met the rescheduled departure time making up a fair bit of the delay on route. As on previous flights the plane was clean and attractive and service friendly and relaxed. Unlike most low cost carriers children are given a pack of toys and refreshments. 1 time also have a very well produced in flight magazine. Not something you would find on a budget carrier in Europe in my experience. Refreshments seem reasonably priced and a good selection. 1 time also have the cheapest fares available on their website for the Joburg - Cape Town route making them my usual choice. Only slight criticism was an early flight when I and another passenger both had computer generated boarding passes for the same seat. Not even sure how this could happen but it was a bit embarrassing to tell someone they are in your seat when actually they weren't. FA sorted out mix up quickly.

I have travelled about 15 times on 1time and have nothing but good things to say about the airline. The cabin staff are friendly, check in efficient and a good experience every time I fly.

28 April 2006

Flew 1time from JNB to CPT. It was school holidays and when every other airline's check-in counters were queued out the door, we walked straight up to the 1time check-in desk and we handled promptly. On-board the aircraft, very comfortable leather seats and plenty of leg room. Try and get a seat at the front, the MD80 tends to be noisy at the back. On this full flight we found the staff friendly and service reasonably efficient. Would recommend over SA Express. Baggage delivery in JNB was also prompt. Can't help thinking the red aircraft and white and camel uniforms has been taken from Virgin Blue in Australia!

Travelled several times on 1-Time with no problem. Last time, however, on 19 June from CT to Jhb on 2120 flight found the stewardess who served me coffee unnecessarily aggressive and confrontational when I told her I found the coffee weak and tasteless.

Have to agree with Pat Carter. I've flown with 1time many times on the JNB-DUR route and bar one delay, have never had an ounce of trouble with them. Leather seats with decent legroom, efficient service - very impressive for a LCC.

We recently travelled from JNB to Cape Town with 1 time (one time) a new no frills carrier. We were very impressed with the check in (swift) and service on the aircraft. (snacks and drinks available for a modest charge). Comfortable leather seats and friendly Cabin Crew.
