To book the best SAAflights, you might want to check our website. We have the best pricing and you would be able to find all SAA flights to your destination of choice. SAA is a full service flight. Majority of the inter country flights have been taken over by the low cost airlines. Now while there are many who need this service, there are some who still value the high end service they would get on SAAflights. This includes a choice of seating in a preferred class, be it business or economy. Passengers on SAA flights will also get meals and snacks as part of their ticket price. If you expect the frills during air travel, then SAA is the option for you. Simply go to our home page and place in your dates of departure to a visiting city in South Africa or abroad. All flights on those dates, to the cities between which you want to travel between will come up. Narrow this down if you only require the South African flag carrier airline and then choose one from this list. You will be taken through the next few steps to secure the booking for this flight. It is simple enough to use and from this point forward, all that is required is for you to enter in some basic personal and contact details after selecting any additional airline products. You would then make your payment and once approved, the booking is confirmed. Proof of this will be sent to you via email. This needs to be kept safe as it contains the booking code which will be used during check-in.

When you choose to fly with an SAA flight then you are able to do an internet check-in which can be conducted between 24 and 3 hours before departure. This can be done from anywhere and the earlier you get it done here, the better chance you carve out for yourself in selecting a seat in your favourite part of the plane. You can also use the self-check in service that is offered by the kiosks and this service is available up to 90 minutes before the flight. Here again, you would process the check-in yourself and along with the online option, if you have any check-in luggage, you would have to take them to the SAA bag drop zone.  Apart from these two methods to check in for your SAA flight you are still able to check in at counters. Here, SAA staff will do the check-in on your behalf and send the bags through directly, but because the amount of times the counters remain open, makes it nonviable for many passengers.

One of the biggest things on any flight is the amount of leg room that you get and this is highly true for international flights. When you choose an SAA flight you can expect a seat pitch of 81 to 86cm in Economy Class. Those that are flying Business Class can expect 198cm and 210cm for those in First Class. This is the kind of comfort not afforded to those flying on budget airlines.

The seats that you choose for your SAA flights can be picked at the booking process and if available they can be changed during the check in process. If the SAA flight is more than three hours long then there is an entertainment system that will surely keep you occupied as you are able to choose from various movies, TV programmes, music and more. On all flights, passengers can expect the Sawubona magazine which is given free and contains a whole lot of articles sure to keep you busy during the flight.

As with most airlines SAA flights offers a loyalty programme that works on a five tier system which are blue, silver, gold, platinum and lifetime platinum. In 2011 SAA flights received the Best Airline in Africa award from Skytrax, where passengers vote for the airline that they wish to win the awards.
