We rented a car after our safari in 2017 to drive around touring. Had zero problems. On another safari in Namibia, the ph lended us his vehicle to go and visit our friends from the previous trip there, again zero problems.
Eurowings changed their name to Discover. They fly Airbus A330's to Windhoek. It has been a while since I was on that flight (I flew them when they were Eurowings) so perhaps they have upgraded their business class cabin. The had lie flat seat in the past but they were old and uncomfortable to say the least. I wish you all the best and hopefully they upgraded their business class cabins
Delta has been so disappointing as of late for me
I bought my ticket to SA 4 months ago on Emirates and business class was only $4500 R/T
Exactly why I use Jennifer at Travel Express.
This post is about Mark giving us all a heads up on his Delta issues. There are issues with every airline every year. Your pessimism about travel this summer and your totally ignorant view of US politics are not wanted here.
If you are on one of the Arab carriers you may have issues otherwise there have not been any major disruptions my friend.
Two different things currently affecting air travel my friend. I am well aware of the carriers I have tickets with and the flight dates, routes and issues affecting those flights. With the Dems throwing a tantrum befitting a two year old protesting ICE by blocking DHS funding, some domestic TSA lines have exceeded 5 hours with some disruption likely continuing for some time. I’d call that a major disruption. With flights currently cancelled through much of Mideast due to Iran war, I’d call that a major disruption. My international flight in July is through Mideast. No guarantees, no crystal balls on that one.
That’s not accurate. Fuel prices have caused lots of airlines to change scheduling. We no longer had the direct to Madrid from IAD. American has cut international flights. American flagged carriers are not flying through the gulf hubs. I have tow friends that have had to redo flights one adding nearly 10 hours of travel time to get to the Maldives on United. My flight to Rome in November has been rescheduled twice since March first.
I had so many changed flights with Delta. This is our first trip not using Delta. But Delta always gave us seat assignments on our new flights.
Sometimes I got an email. Usually I found out from looking at my flights.
Sorry bud, but I am voting republican again. It would be far worse if we had democrats back in there. Things are happening now because of the previous democrats, they just kept the pot simmering, now it is boiling. We are heading to JNB in the beginning of August, not too worried about things. Glad this is happening now. We are already making plans for Australia next year.
Well Virgin Atlantic broke the center support off of my bow case last year. It survived 5 other overseas trips, just fine. Fortunately my husband is taking the crossbow and I can use the SKB case.
We got Emirates bus in August for just a little under $5700 each.
Sorry I was not speaking of the entire aviation industry but the most common routes to Southern Africa not being disrupted. Safari being the context I was using.
Yea the whole government funding issue is ridiculous but we need to see it for what it is. Democrats want to cheat our elections. Period, end of discussion.Two different things currently affecting air travel my friend.

Guess what’s my one consolation about the well healed who taunt the rest of us commoners flying economy, cattle class? They are equally affected by disruptions and cancellations. Watched it play out last year where a Qatar Air flight was disrupted, mid flight, by a major failure on one of their 787s. All the snobs in business class/Q Suite were instantly converted to commoners having to scramble for overnight accommodations and connecting flights next day.
