Airline	Destinations/number of Flights with them	Amenities/meal served	Inflight Entertainment	Aircraft type/s flown	My overall rating of this airline – NOTES
AIR ZIMBABWE	JNB-HRE HRE-VIC JNB-SEY (Operating a flight for Lesotho Airways Technical with their 707	Cold meat salad to Seychelles but other flights no idea	Magazine	707, VIKERS VISCOUNT	6/10 Not awful but not too good either!
Flitestar	JNB-CPT CPT-JNB	Fillet steak jnb-cpt Return?	Magazine	A320	9/10 An excellent domestic Airline. South Africa’s first deregulated airline. The competition made SAA improve their very basic domestic inflight service (better food on Flitestar – you were thrown a bag of crisps on SAA or tea and biscuits prior to 1993 when FLITESTAR started operations). Loved their sweet ending to the flight – sweets for landing. Very professional and friendly cabin crew – the SAA trolley dollies in those days were a bit b?tchy to say the least and that was only the male FA’s!

KLM	CPT-AMS-CPT (5 TIMES)	Soup, soup and more soup first 2 or 3 flights thenKLM’S catering improved	Great entertainment system. Some ass male FA acused me of being drunk prior to take off.

Especially because he would not believe I have a medical condition that makes me appear drunk late at night when I am tired (their Cpt-AMS flight left at 00.05 in 2010!
