South African Airways seat reviews

Plane on time and stall welcoming and professional.
Economy seat had plenty leg room and seat not so comfy and sore bum on 12 hour flight..
Food was ok nothing special. Worst was the entertainment. Music selection was poor as was the limited choice of movies.
Not sure if something wrong with the heating but everyone had to wrap up in jackets and coats...it was that cold.
Being a regular flier with BA , Qatar amongst others I was a bit disappointed.
The plus was the service very quick and polite.

We like our stop over at the premium lounge and the ability to relax eat and drink as we waited for our flight. Also, they announced our flight so that we would not continually have to look at our watches. We boarded on time we very little wait after we reached our gate.

The entertainment system at seat 51 is poor. Sound is bad screen is dark and finally crashed mid flight. Luckily I had my iPad. Food is mediocre and only two meals for a 16 hour flight. You can get a sanwhich for snack jbut only if requested. Seat is outdated.

The entertainment system at 51A is outdated. Sound system poor and screen dark and finally conkedout mid trip. Food service poor. Only 2 meals for a 16 hour flight. Headphones from the 90’s Meal inedible. You can get a sandwich fir a snack if you ask but it seemed to b a well kept secret. Flight attendants kind and did the best that they could.

The trip was Fairly comfortable for the length of the flight.

Positives : entertainment system, charging services.

Negatives : Very poor legroom, seats really unusable.
Grumpy air hostess, did her job but no smiles.

I expected a lot from the new A330-300, but the plane is not suitable for air travelbecause of the leg space.

Next time to Argentina I fly LATAM.

Note the A330-200, even though older, was better. Even the air hostess was better.

We were changed to Airbus A340-300. This is a good plane. However air-con temperature was very low! The Entertainment gadget was re-set but did not work. Flight was very smooth

The Airbus A340 have more leg room the seat neet a lose cusion to put under your bum , after a time the seat is hard .

I'm a man of 2m and weight 120kg. I sat comfortable in the chair. The only problem I had was when the chairs in front of me were reclined I could not get up from my seat. With my next flight I would like my family to sit together, I booked my tickets almost a year in advance and found it strange that the 3 tickets i bought was not placed together on the seating map. Thank you for your service,

A larger plane then our trip back but older then that plane , seats are very tall so when person in front reclines you have to aswell or you right up against the seat back , plane was half empty so plenty empty seats around to lounge around in in fact staff came to advise people of this . Food was very nice beef and sauté potatoes , IFE worked ok then went of half way there not to come back on but as an overnight flight mangled to get some sleep staff very good and plenty water available , we arrived on time but as is common in joburg my case did not make it to our connecting flight , but arrived later that day , intact and secure much preferred the 300-200 we came home on as this plane was a bit tired in some places
