Weekend away







Well after a busy Christmas & BTS (back to school) for retailers, we really needed a much needed rest. So Anton thought that we should try Mango, no not one of the fruit from the Maldives, but rather the newly launched low cost airline that was launched by SAA. This was in order to directly compete with other low cost no frills airlines, like Kulula, 1Time, etc. Well the differences that I could spot were;
- The Uniforms (green & orange), yes I know what you are thinking but it looked ok.
- The Boeing 737-800 seats are now in black leather and the carpets are littered with the Mango logos.
- The aircraft were fitted with the same TV screens and you only see them on when the safety video is shown and never again
- Also you pay for you food and they are no threat to Pick & Pay I tell you.
Other than that the flight was pleasant and fun was had by all in sunny and sweltering hot Durban.
