L Jordaan (South Africa)
Not Verified | Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg. This morning Me and My fiance need to flight back to Johannesburg, at 8:40. At Check-in they say we have missed are flight. I told the lady at the check-in that its only 8:05, she said sorry but you have missed your flight. Just because we were late to check-in. They told me that they only have a flight to Johannesburg at 20:50 and i need to pay R1100 to ensure we have a place on the flight.

"staff were nothing less than accommodating"
Jenny Meaker (South Africa)
Not Verified | Port Elizabeth to Durban with FlySafair. I would like to compliment your ground staff / check-in staff who were on duty at PE airport at 14h30 on Friday 14th June. I had a really ill colleague travelling with me to Durban, and requested if they could help me with 'assisted boarding' as I hadn't requested that when the booking was made. Your staff were nothing less than accommodating and amazing in the way in which they took over and took care of her from check-in to her getting into the vehicle in Durban.

"It was so cheap"
Lerato Ledwaba (South Africa)
Not Verified | Johannesburg to Cape Town. The flight was perfect the flight attendants were very nice. Overall it was a good flight. It was so cheap and the money was worth it I couldn't believe you can fly for just about five hundred rand it was nice.

"did not provide compensation"
H Pamira (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | Johannesburg to Durban. I had to attend a funeral in Durban on 17/5 at 10 30am. Booked a 6.30am flight. This flight was delayed for 5 hours. Only left Johannesburg at 11.30am. Did not make it to the funeral. The purpose of going to Durban was not met. Safair did not provide compensation for the delay.

"told me I have missed my flight"
Nonkululeko Betwana (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | Johannesburg to Durban. I am disgusted with the service I received at OR Tambo with the Ticket sales when I came to check-in for my flight that was at 11:05-12:20 to King Shaka international airport, the agent looked me in the eye and told me I have missed my flight when the flight was still within the airport, when I got there in time for my flight. I was shook for a moment he refused to print my ticket and dismissed me to look for other flights that at at 1600. The guy did not provide the customer service to ensure that passengers make it on the flight booked. I do not have money to waste I am never flying with you guys ever again. I had to book Mango to make to Durban on time and make it to work and they exceed customer expectations!

"Terrible customer service"
Ebrahim Laher (South Africa)
Not Verified | Terrible customer service, call centre takes ages to response and they keep putting you on hold for a significant time. I booked a ticket single for my wife and myself, Johannesburg to Durban I changed my flight paid a huge change fee almost the same price as my ticket for a day earlier. I received confirmation that my flight was change, and they added a return flight. I needed to change my wifes flight for an earlier flight on the web site I selected her flight and the system automatically assumed its a return flight Durban to Johannesburg no warning all all I choice a flight and when we received the confirmation slip her flight is a return flight. Tried calling the call centre for assistance I am waiting on the line and put on hold now for 29 minutes. I don't recommend this airline surprised that they won best airline award.

"not use this airline again"
Ian Jacobs (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | Johannesburg to Cape Town. The worst flight and service encountered - from counter where they insisted I pay an additional amount of R250 for baggage (about 13kg) to be loaded - to the actual flight where staff treated passengers very badly. we had to stand on the side for over 20 minutes to allow staff to proceed with the onboard refreshment trolly sales. Why can't SAFAIR advertise a price including the allowed booked-in luggage as all other airlines? Instead they charge you extra for luggage other than hand luggage. I will not use this airline again.

"staff on board was rude"
Yolande Lottering (South Africa)
✅ Trip Verified | First of all the front desk ladies were very sweet and helpful, I can not complain about them. Now lets start, the staff on board were rude and did not seem bothered with the clients at all. After the safety instructions were done, they simply went and buckled themselves in, not one of them came by and checked to see if any of the passengers were buckled in. When we arrived my sons car seat was booked in as special baggage, well thank you for breaking the chair into two pieces. The car seat was thrown on the floor in the middle of the conveyors where you collect your bags. We asked the people at the kiosk where we should collect the special baggage, they simply pointed to stuff thrown on the floor and there was where my sons car seat was thrown. When we flew with Mango on the 4th they brought my sons car seat to us to the kiosk on a trolley as it should be but to throw someone's baggage like it garbage is disgusting. Staff have no personality, no drive and no respect for your clients goods. When we flew with Mango again on the 4th of Feb the pilots were excellent, they kept telling us and informing us where we were, but the pilots of flysafair did none of that. I regret not flying with Mango again and regret that I used your services. I will never be you client again and I advise anyone not to make use of your services!
