    One of my favourite sites while flying around the globe.. Those mountains are incredible. Landing takes you first over them then a sharp drop to the left and onto the runway.. If You'r lucky, you might go over Robbin Island. I had the pleasure of being in the Cockpit on two occasions.. and flew over the Island.
    They are only surpassed by The Swiss Alps..
    The only downside is just before landing you fly over the Cape Flats.

      @robinfist Před 6 lety

      No, the airline is theoretically in liquidation. Run by the South African president's girlfriend, she is doing a shockingly poor job and the gov keeps bailing the airline out. They cannot afford new aircraft and it is only a question of time before one of their aircraft goes down. (I know a head technician that was threatened with being fired if he did not play ball after he memo-ed the SAA board about safety concerns) I refuse to fly with them. Inflight service is sub standard too. SAA = Sorry Again Airlines. SAA is the flagship of corruption, such a shame.
