I have flown with all the airlines in South Africa and always try to get a flight on 1Time if possible.

Why, you ask yourself?

Well, let me tell you.....

I have flown to Durban and Cape Town on numerous occasions and I always go home happy. The staff on the ground, the pilots and most of all the air crew of 1Time are the most professional and friendliest around.

I have never been delayed and have always been early for appointments, thanks to 1 Time Airlines. Make no mistake, I have flown with all the other airlines and have had delays and problems galore - Call me lucky....

1Time airfare prices are also the best around, but I would still fly 1Time if I could save with the other airlines. To me, it's more about service than price.

The ground staff are always smiling and treat you with respect all the way from the check-in to the boarding gate and up to the point where you enter the aircraft. They are always there to help and always keep you informed to what's going on.

When you enter the aircraft, you are greeted by the most beautiful air hostesses in the industry and I mean that - They are all beautiful, except for the guys - Sorry guys I cannot comment on your beauty...LOL

When available, the captain and first officer greet you, but they are busy with pre-flight inspection, so I do not mind when they are too busy to notice when you greet them. Upon exiting the plane I always make a point of thanking them for a job well done, they do appreciate that a lot.

While onboard and getting ready to take off, the aircrew make sure that everybody is comfortable and they never stop smiling. The refreshments and meals sold on 1 Time Airlines is of very good quality and well priced.

The Mc Donald Douglas MD80 class aircraft that 1Time uses; the main reason why I started flying with them. I love the MD 80's and always sit in the back where you can hear the engines and experience true jet flight.... You have to try it to appreciate it!!

From the 1 Time Website:

"1time is extremely proud of its fleet of aircraft. We currently operate a single type of aircraft to ensure our pilots, cabin attendants and maintenance crews are specialist on our family of aircraft. The airline operates eight MD80 type aircraft. The MD80 is a stage 3 generation craft within the family of DC9 aircraft. Our high utilisation is one of the secrets to consistently offering the lowest fares.

The DC9 / MD80 family of aircraft is one of the safest and most reliable family of commercial jet airliners ever built. The DC9 / MD80 world fleet has flown well over 50 million hours. The DC-9 / MD80 was designed specifically to operate from short runways and on short- to medium-range routes. The low ground clearance puts the lower deck cargo bays at waist height, to allow loading and unloading without a conveyor or loading platform. The cockpit is designed for a two-member crew.

The passenger cabins of our aircraft are designed for optimum passenger comfort and convenience. Economy class seating is five across - an arrangement consistently preferred in passenger surveys to the six across seating in other single-aisle airliners. The MD82 & MD83, with 157 seats, and the MD87 with 132 seats - in all cases all leather - provide what we believe to be the best legroom on the South African domestic market for an economy class product"

These are the routes that they fly in South Africa

So, next time you want to travel in South Africa, fly with 1Time and experience true South African hospitality at its best and for the plane spotters out there - Come and experience the best maintained MD80 series aircraft around.
