I've been wondering if any issues were going to arise with the cancelling and shuffling of Emirates flights. Looks like the answer is yes. I received the email below from Steve at Travel With Guns today.
By the way, Steve and Fred at Travel with Guns have been very good to work with so far. I have had a somewhat complex set of travel needs for this upcoming trip including round trip USA to JoBurg, guest house reservations, car rental, Kruger Park, flights to and from Botswana from JoBurg, Chobe Park lodging, several couples with different travel dates/needs, etc.
The folks at TwG have been extremely helpful, knowledeable and a pleasure to work with.
And now, with a few complications to deal with I am very happy someone else has to sort it out Regardless of who you might choose to work with, Travel Express, Gracy, etc, when problems arise, even minor ones, it sure is nice to have someone in your corner.
Hi Dan
Further to my email to Peggy, which I copied you in on, I have the same problem with your outbound flights in that the 940am departure to Dubai has been cancelled. Unfortunately there is another complication, and that is the later flight on July 5th is sold out and Emirates have booked you for a July 6th departure which would not get you into Johannesburg until the morning of July 8th at 530am.
I have contacted Emirates to see if I can get you confirmed on the July 5th departure to arrival at 530am on the morning of July 7th – this means instead of an overnight at Africa Sky on July 6th – you clear Immigration and Customs and head straight out to camp.
Question – if I cannot confirm July 5th – could you depart on July 4th to arrive the morning of July 6th?
I’ll be back in touch with you as soon as I hear back from Emirates regarding July 5th departure. If July 4th departure does not work – I may be able to route you through San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Sincerely
Steve
