JNB-CPT. First time with BA/Comair and found it outstanding. FAs were simply the best crew I can
recall having on any flight. Friendly, chatty, happy, just seemed to love their job from the first
minute to the last. Nice catering with great choice "real" wines in Club. Crew knowledgeable and
enthusiastic about the wines. Small tech issue (persistent whining sound in the cabin) was handled
with aplomb. BA Terraces in JNB very pleasant way to pass the time, with great outside views. Top
marks.

JNB-LIV-JNB Business Class. Although the aircraft were a bit old, they
were clean, seats good and attention in business class excellent.
Food good both ways. On the return journey there were no less than 5
passengers sporting injuries sustained from over exuberance of some
sort; but all were found seats and cared for. Would recommend this
airline for flight within the area.

JNB-PLZ-JNB. Comair as a subsidiary of BA I was expecting same service
as BA and I got it. Clean cabin, great meal and beverage service, on
time departures and arrivals and excellent crew service. Next time in SA
will definitely fly with them.

Cape Town to Jo'burg and no complaints. Excellent leg room - maybe
because at the front of the economy section which would have been club
Europe in the aircraft BA mainline days. Sandwich and drinks service
fine and on time departure.

Durban - Johannesburg (Club) : Service on the ground quick and efficient despite a congested
terminal and overbooked flights due to the end of a long weekend. Although an old B737-200 was used,
cabin was clean - seats and cabin finishings modern and like what you would find on newer aircraft.
Although the flight was a little under 50 minutes, a full dinner was served. A very professional
operation on all accounts.

Port Elizabeth to Jo'burg on Comair's 737-200 in business class. What a great experience for a short
flight like this. There is a small departure lounge in Port Elizabeth - drinks and packets of nuts
and crisps. On board we were served a full meal service; welcome drink before take off followed by a
drink with a packet of nuts. Starter, with hot bread and side salad and a hot main course all on
china & glass. A cheese board with coffee was served just before descent into Jo'burg. I would
highly recommend Comair when flying regional in South Africa.

DBN-JNB on BA/Comair after my flight on kulula.com (BA/Comair's low-cost subsidary) was
cancelled. Service was friendly and efficient, meal was good for a 50 minute domestic milk-run and
masses of leg room - albeit I was in the first row of economy. The 737-200 was clean and well
maintained, but a bit noisy! Overall an excellent flight.

Flew Comair's BA-branded services CPT-JNB-VFA. Very happy with the service offered - leg room on
both flights was very generous (more than on BA's long-haul services), hot breakfast on the CPT-JNB
flight, All-Day Deli on the JNB-VFA leg. Slightly delayed arriving into Jo'burg but were kept well
informed by the flight crew of reasons for this. Only problem was on arrival into JNB - aircraft
was parked on a remote stand & the airline only provided a single bus to carry passengers to the
terminal. This was a full flight so the bus was "very" overcrowded - really 2 buses were needed.

It's silly to base one's opinion of an airline on a single bad experience, but after my recent trip
on BA's ComAir subsidiary from Harare to Jo'burg I have to say that I am sorely tempted to swear I
will never fly BA again. Their counter personnel at Harare are absolutely inflexible in their
enforcement of baggage weight limits. I only had one bag going to the US through Jo'burg, and it was
about 8 kilos overweight--I had no extra piece of luggage, and they refused to offer me a cardboard
box or anything else. After several minutes of pointless pleading I was forced to jettison the 8
kilos of clothing and gifts right there at the counter. I understand the role of rules, but in
circumstances such as the one I was faced with, their "scrupulous" enforcement has cost them a
steady customer. If you cannot even offer a passenger a box (they claimed that if the box were
damaged, I'd claim compensation even though I said I would waive, in writing, any right to
compensation) you can not claim to be customer-focussed.
