South African Airways (SAA) review by Christina 2013-02-14

I regularly fly this route and do so largely because it is a direct flight. This particular flight (A340-300) was very full but I managed to have a seat free next to me which made the flight much more comfortable. Food on SAA is acceptable without being outstanding. The cabin crew were professional in managing a very full flight. This is an overnight flight so many passengers slept or tried to sleep rather than utilise the in-seat entertainment. Movie selection was fine, although as a frequent traveller I had seen most of the options. The quality of this flight largely depends on how full the plane is. If you are lucky and the plane is not full you can enjoy a direct, overnight flight with room to sleep for the perfect flight
