This
month, the world pauses on 22 March for World Water
Day. Water is the lifeblood of the planet and as travellers, we can do
our bit to conserve this precious resource.
Beyond
World Water Day, we also celebrate Human Right’s Day in South Africa
and World
Poetry Day - both on 21 March 2016.
March is also a very busy month for the Voyager
team. You can read all about it in the following articles and snippets.
Look
out for changes to our Africa schedule and Middle East destinations,
getting complimentary
extra nights at Shangri-La Resorts and even free upgrades to Business
Class on
the Heathrow Express. As always our partner network has some great
prizes and
added value on offer for you.
Enjoy!
SAA
Voyager Team
Forever
part of your journey!

South African Airways would like to notify its
customers that the airline has taken a decision to
cease
operating between Johannesburg and Abu Dhabi from 1 March 2016. The
decision
follows extensive analysis and efforts to make the route sustainable.
From 1 to 21 March 2016, South
African Airways will reroute
its flights from Douala International Airport in Cameroon to Yaoundé,
due to the closure of the airport in Douala for reconstruction work.
South African
Airways advises customers travelling on domestic routes that
selected flights on these routes will close 10 minutes earlier, as from
1 April 2016.
SAA domestic flights for check-in will from the effective date, close
40 minutes prior to boarding in lieu of 30 minutes for domestic
departures from

|
Flights
will operate weekly with a single return flight on Sundays. The flight
will
depart on Sundays at 09h30 from Johannesburg (ORTIA) and arrive at Nosy
Be at
14h00 (Malagasy time). The return flight will depart Nosy Be at 14h45

fuel-stop
