Awesome flight review, bro! I also loved how you knew and showcased some of our military airforce bases. As an avgeek staying on a flight path of most international flights, I watch them in awe on Flightradar24 and wish and hope to one day look at my house from above the clouds as I jet off to some amazing place in the globe.

Hello. You had 37A seat, was there enough room for the foot? I read this at seatguru "Submitted by SeatGuru User on 2017/10/28 for Seat 24A The entertainment box takes half of the space for your legs. It almost impossible to put 2 legs in if you are not super thin with short legs and small feet."
I don’t recall there being an IFE box taking away from the legroom. There may have previously been a box in the way before the cabins were refurbished around 2020.
@@raeltremeer6138With the introduction of Premium Economy in 2023, two orphaned rows of regular Economy remain in the mid-cabin section. Row 27 has the best Economy legroom on the plane, albeit with fixed armrests and foldout IFE screens.
2:42 I see from the lettering this is a former AirZim plane. Looks like black South Africans still don't travel. Quite eye opening to me. Thanks for the lovely trip report. Wish SAA had better routes so you could show them. 12:14 what's that 1960s computer doing there?
Not on this route so much no, when I used to fly with SAA it seemed to be more common. Hopefully if SAA starts bringing back some of its old routes I can fly with them again. I also thought that about the computer😂 I think the “ZIM” is just the manufacturer of the seats, although it did make me think too!
Enjoying your vids. Just watched your trip from JNB to PLZ on Airlink which I seem to have missed. You mentioned the return trip on Cemair which I don't see on your play list?
Thanks for this report. Will be flying on this plane in a couple of weeks except from JNB to ZRH. Then connecting with a Swiss A330. Oh joy! Is the galley kited out with booze as well? 👀🤣
Flew back from Zurich to Jhb on economy flight today. Seat space is really cramped. I am average height and my knees were touching the front seat without the person in front of me reclining their seat. Maybe it was just the seat I was in, but this didn't happen on Lufthansa. Overall se4vice was to be as expected these days on economy flights
I think the SWISS Boeing 777 must have less legroom than the A340 which I flew, I know they haven’t been using the A340 recently. The Lufthansa 747 does have very good legroom in comparison though I do agree.
Flying JNB to ZRH on Sunday. Looking forward to it from this report. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment, the Cemair video will be the next video coming out, it should be released in the next few weeks 👍
Great report!
Please can do you more flights with saa
I am definitely looking to do so in the future if they begin to look more stable and expand their fleet/route network.

Wow that sounds like a trek! Unfortunately no booze in the galley, just juices but lots of chocolate.

Did this flight have any USB charging ports?
Yes, there is one located underneath the IFE screen.
Thanks pal
You seem to travel a lot to South Africa. If you don't mind answering, Is it for sightseeing or business purposes ? Or may be both 😅
Of course, a little bit of both, although I’m always sightseeing when travelling!
I see this baby fly above my house almost daily above the south of joburg
Hiping i get swiss air to Joburg. I cant wait💪😎👍
I have flown SWISS a number of times on the route, they have never disappointed!
@@raeltremeer6138 That's great sir and thanks for replying
Your video on Swiss airlines is okay. But the breakfast menu isn’t adequate. You need: sausages, scrambled eggs and vegetables with bread.
It is definitely a shame two hot meals are no longer served, hopefully an option which will come back in the future!
