“Airline service is poor”
Gary Heidtmann (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | Have noticed over the past months that I have flying with Safari that there is a clear discrimination between priority customers and normal. The way I have been treated as a normal boarding customer is just accepted is society. Today I have waited as normal for priority to board until there was no one left in the line. Yet I was still kept back from boarding. The attitude of the airline staff and policy is no longer acceptable from the staff boarding the customers. On my flight out of Johannesburg on Tuesday 9th was just so bad. The staff were standing around not interested in boarding me as a customer until I told them they have a job to do. Airline service is poor.

“Absolutely horrendous airline”
Ryan Pillay (South Africa)
Not Verified | Pathetic service from this terrible airline!! Flight was delayed by 5 hours, and was only informed at check-in when I was at the airport. Customer service is even more pathetic. They could not assist. All they could do was give a lame apology. Not even accommodate me on an earlier flight. They did not care that I had to miss my scheduled meetings etc. They could not even accommodate in a lounge to wait the 5 hours. Absolutely horrendous airline. I do not recommend! This is not the first time this is happening! They told me to forfeiit any obligations in Cape Town.

"best service I have received"
Krishnaveni Pather (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | The best service I have received. I’ve flown with them a few times. The staff are polite, interested in the customer and flexible which is rare these days. Really very impressive! with low prices one expects low service. Well done FlySafair. I appreciate you!

"told that my seat had been changed"
PT Maubane (South Africa)
Not Verified | This is the worst airline, with incompetent staff. I checked in online had my boarding pass only to be told that my seat had been changed. To make matters worse the staff members make up lies first staff member told me a story about balancing the flight, the other one then decided to say it was double booked. I’m very sure this is the very last time I'll book this airline.

"very clean and great service"
E Marzine (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | Flysafair is the best, very clean and great service. I would recommend that the flight attendants who speak on the intercom do not put the phone close to there mouth as no one can hear what they say Hold the intercom/phone a bit further away from your mouth so people can hear clearly.

"super disappointed at Flysafair"
Deidre Koekemoer (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | I have never had the experience ever like this evening. The flight was extremely full with seating uncomfortable, but this is not the main complaint. On landing they start disembarking from front and from back to front saying that the back passengers has to disembark to balance the plane. These passengers push past with luggage bumping and pushing to the front. I have in my entire lifetime of flying Never heard about this balancing and have never experienced it on any flight both local and international ever. This meant that passengers sitting on the wing were disembarked last and ended being pushed with the “abuse” of passengers and hand luggage on an already full plane sitting down. Yes so this at eye level. I am super disappointed at Flysafair tonight. Would not consider this as first choice next time flying

"no communication, rude staff"
Amber Domalik (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | This used to be my go to airline but the past 3 or 4 times have been horrendous. Delays, no communication, rude staff, and staff not knowing the answers to any questions. I won't be using them anymore.
