What airline do all you guys in the UK use to fly home? I'm a bit nervous about using Air Zim (no money to maintain planes properly etc)!

Oh Scare Zim aint all THAT bad! he he he...they still have the best safety record of all African airlines & most of the top I'ntl ones as well (can hear the sceptics saying "its only a matter of time")...i mostly fly SAA/ BA so suggest you look at them frst...otherwise you can do the Air Namibia via Windhoek change there & go WDK HRE...:smiley11: ..good luck with that!

Air Zim are only a little bit cheaper than BA. They're not too bad, but delays always happen. Also, don't expect much from the in house entertainment. :smiley20::smiley20:

what you can do is fly emirates to dubai and then kenya airways to zim, air zim also fly out of dubai, KLM are also very good! BA is not my Fav airline, but i only fly BA from London to Newcastle. If you want any advise on anything to do with flying let me know!

I've found that Scare Zim actually serves the best food ... when they do serve it that is!

I've also got quite a few good deals from flyzim.co.uk

Have bought a few tickets over the last couple of years, and the guy there always seems to get me a good price, compared to other quotes I have had.
