Customers travelling with us in Economy Class are invited to stretch out and relax in one of the most spacious Economy cabins to Southern Africa with a 31-34" seat pitch combined with an 18” width.

NO FEE for unaccompanied minors

Children between the ages of 5 and 11 years old (inclusive) and not accompanied by a person of 16 years of age or older are classed as an unaccompanied minor.

They will be given a badge at check-in together with a document satchel which allows our personnel to identify them more easily during flights and in crowds. This service is free of charge but reservations must be made in advance as we limit the number of unaccompanied minors per flight to ensure the best possible treatment for each child.

Whether your customers are travelling with us in Business Class or Economy Class, they are entitled to a free piece of sporting equipment up to 23kg allowing them to take everything with them they will need for an amazing trip!
