April 2016 marks SAA's 10th anniversary with Star Alliance.
SAA joined Star Alliance on 10 April 2006, and since then our SAA
Voyager members have access to more destinations around the world with
seamless connectivity. Just as a reminder you earn Tier Miles on all 28
Star Alliance partner airlines. To celebrate this milestone, we are
giving you the opportunity to win 10 000 Voyager
Miles.
Since 1994, April has been a special month for South
Africans, when we celebrate Freedom Day on 27 April. Who can
forget those incredible scenes when all South Africans stood together
in long queues, to cast their vote and make their mark in history. We
trust that your Freedom Day will be just as memorable.
We also celebrate Mother Earth Day on 22 April and are reminded that
without our planet we are nothing. Even our hard-earned freedom would
be meaningless. For many, climate change seems like a remote problem,
but the reality is that it’s already affecting plants, people, animals
and places around the world. A change needs to be made and it is up to
each of us to do whatever we can to protect our natural resources.
This month we have some important news for travellers regarding
refurbishment work at O.R. Tambo International airport, great news
about SAA retaining its 4-star Skytrax rating and, as usual, great
promotions and competitions.

Forever

Airports Company South Africa has advised that the immigration and
security screening area accessible from Terminal A, will be closed for
approximately six to eight weeks for refurbishment.
South
African Airways, the leading airline on the African continent, has
retained its 4-Star rating for the 14th consecutive year, demonstrating
that the airline’s place in the global aviation world is secure.
The rating was done by aviation
experts Skytrax, after detailed
product and service standard audits were conducted throughout
the airline in November
2015. Skytrax is associated with quality and excellence all
over the world by the air transport industry.

your child is always under the best care. Book a flight
with South African Airways with the knowledge that your child will be

parent
or guardian who is 16 years or older on an SAA flight.
- Children,
under the age of five, are not accepted for the unaccompanied minors
service.
- For the purpose of fares, any passenger
between the ages of 12 to16 is considered an adult. Therefore, no
special
handling is required unless requested by the parent.
- Reservations for unaccompanied minors
cannot be booked on-line. Please contact our call centre on 011 978
1111.
- Place a
meal requests for your child at time of booking, or at least 24 hours
before departure.
- Inform us of any critical information
such as the language of the child if he / she cannot speak English,
first time flyer, date of birth and medication. As for the latter, some
children might
need to be cleared by our medical reservations office.
