First prize for worst call center in SA
I spent 35 minutes today waiting for Kulula's call centre to take my call. this is about the 5th time I have tried. They have this 'suppose to be funny' guy keeping you entertained whilst you wait. My question is, if it was a fast and efficient call centre, why would they need this voice to 'entertain' you? I eventually gave up as before. I sent a mail and I am still waiting their reply to solve my problem.

SAA refuse to fix problem they created
I booked a return flight for 2 to Cape Town. I submitted the booking and R4536 was deducted from my credit card (confirmed by an sms to my phone). An error message then popped up to tell me that SAA had a problem with their booking system. On receipt of this I mailed SAA about this. They replied a week later to say they refunded me the money and that I must rebook online. Online prices for the same flights are now R8500 but SAA flat our refuse to fix the problem and rebook my flights at the correct price. I have problems with SAA every time I have flown with them. I am a frequent flyer and will NEVER fly SAA again. Their attitude stinks!!

System down now funds have disappeared
I logged onto the flysaa website to pay for a ticket that was booked. I entered my credit card details and when submitting, a message came back saying the system was having a technical error. I tried again thinking I must have done something wrong but the same message came. Left it and checked my account the following morning. Money had gone out - TWICE!!! Phoned the bank and SAA and Nedbank says money has definately been transferred to SAA. SAA say they dont have the money and will follow up and get back to me within the same day...Now.. Who is earning interest on my bucks? Firstly SAA must have a technical message BEFORE we actually log our details onto the site. Thats what transparent people do instead of now this back and forth passing.

Rude and abruptness by crew leader
My name is Jack Loggenberg, employed by Solidarity, the union. I fly regularly for busibness and private purposes. On flight SA366 (Seat 11F) on 18 January, the cabin crew leader, a tall black woman, was extremel rude and abrupt with passengers. The passengers in general were exteremely upset and grumpy about the treastment. There were loud comments at disembarking and several individuals approached the rest of the crew. in my specific case:
I normally travel with my laptop, as I work during the 2 hour flight to Cape Town. I also have medical equip-ment, known as CPAP, with me, as I suffer from Sleep Apnea. The equipment is very sensitive and expensive. On this specific flight, this woman, who in my opinion would easily qualify as a NCO in the SANDF, refused that I take my CPAP on board and the machine was taken from me, placed in a plastic bag and thrown in the hold with the other baggage. We are all aware of the manner in which luggage is handled by SAA. We see and experience the damages on a regular basis. I did not have the opportunity to even have a "fragile " sticker placed on it. if this is the way in which SAA intends treating the clients, I personally will influence my employer not to use SAA in future. I refuse to accept ill-treatment from a person who clearly requires PR training. If one compares this incident with the general treatment and atmosphere eg on Comair / BA flights, one wonders why civilised people still fly SAA. I definitely, will not use SAA for private purposes/vacation. Secondly, please send the crew on communication skills training as one cannot understand what they say, when they make announcements. Luckily, this is not a general experience, but could be disastrous in an emergency.

Not refunding money double deducted from my account
had to book a flight on SAA using my voyager miles that would expire. I phoned Voyager 4 times (holding on for at least 15 min per call), just to find out that for some unknown reason my flight was cancelled every time.
Eventually after another 4 calls to Voyager my flight was booked and I received my flight details. I then realized that they made a double deduction on my credit card.
I phoned Keith and Shaun NUMEROUS times (about 10 times) to get this sorted out. Everytime they promise to return my call within 10 min with a solution. Needless to say they never returned any of my calls and have been avoiding my calls ever since.
SAA Voyager have not yet refunded me for the double deduction, despite their 30 days policy. I think it is unacceptable that I have to wait 30 days for a refund from them while they get the interest on my money.
It has been more than 30 days and they have not yet refunded my money despite promises from Keith and Shaun that the problem will be sorted out.
This is unacceptable!

I am still waiting for a response from their call center since yesterday
I am still waiting for a response from their call center since yesterday!
I have phone 3 times today and each time I have been on hold for over 15 minutes. SAA should be shut down, banned, outlawed.
Even their supervisors are useless. Clinton promised me yesterday he would call me back, he did once and said he was still trying to sort things out and he would call me later. Today he is not there.
Brian tried to convince me that there was not a team leader available and frankly all of the call centre staff should be sent on a customer service course.

Neglecting taking care of my 6 year old Daughter
My 6 year old daughter flew as an unaccompanied minor (UMN) from Johannesburg to London on an overnight flight with South African Airways, when she landed on the 27th of December at 6am only wearing T-Shirt, sandals and a small skirt wrapped in a airline blanket looking totally scared and freezing cold with no hand luggage, and only one case instead of three pieces, the first thing I did was give her a big hug and reassure her.
I then found then found out that she had only put one case in the hold and due to weight limits she had to take 2 pieces of hand luggage which was handed to the Ground staff along with my daughter but had been lost
I then went to sit down and find something for my daughter to wear to keep her warm from her large case, while staff tried to find out more information and by coincidence met a nice lady who had sat next to my daughter. I asked her about the flight and mentioned SAA had lost her hand luggage she told me the crew didn’t take any notice of my daughter and that she had looked after her the whole flight
We are into the third week of waiting for this to be resolved, and can not get any progress from customer services representative, we are told that this is because she has asked managers and doing all she can people and no one is getting back to her. What is the point of having customer services if no one cooperates with them?
The content of these bags other than warm clothes were included my daughters toys which she had just had for Christmas and her recent birthday
for such a young child to fly unaccompanied in the first place is a massive worry but you put your faith in the professionals who are used to this and when the whole experience turns out to be the horror story that this has been, you would think that SAA would be in a rush to put this right and escalate this to the highest level to get it resolved as quickly as possible
The whole episode is ongoing and two and a half weeks in and SAA have not even checked the security cameras of investigated the matter fully or even acknowledged that the baggage was in their position so we can push ahead and claim for our losses.
I will never use them again

SAA is useless - unhelpful and just plain rude
We booked our senior PM on a flight to George - leaving Sunday 1:25. Due to bad weather the flight was delayed. It took him 3 days to get to George, all of which he spent at OR Thambo trying to get any form of assistance. SAA could not offer any updates, a re-route, refund or any other solution. It was embarrassing and dispicable to say the least. All of my other staff who flew one time, were re-routed to PE and transferred at no additional cost. I spent in excess of 4 hours on the phone to SAA who could not assist in any way at all. I was referred to manager Ray Watts and after holding for over 45 min for him was told he was refusing my call. SAA we will never be using you again for any of our company bookings... you are useless - unhelpful and just plain rude!!

Baggage tampering and theft
Had the misfortune of flying with SAA to LOS from JNB (SA060 dept 20 Feb 2010).
Along with scores of other passengers, I experienced missing luggage and theft from checked luggage. The degree and scale to which my fellow passengers and myself were targeted can only lead me to conclude that your baggage handling services in JNB have been contracted to an organised crime cartel. I specify JNB because I have flown into LOS from other locations without mishap or aggravation. Further, my colleagues fly on a daily basis into LOS from other international locations without incident.
Dear SAA - kindly inform the Ringmaster in charge of your JNB Security Department circus of the failure by his clowns to fulfil their function. Its just not funny anymore.

Delayed flight and no food
My wife, child and I had I flight booked from East London to Johannesburg on 1 Jan 2011. When we checked in the lady said after standing in the line that it is the rong place we need to fall into the long line if our flight is at 15:05, this is only for the 17:00 bookings. Then once we booked in, they said the flight is delayed but they don't know how long. We waited almost 2 hours before boarding the plane and then the captain announced that we won't receive any food due to the delay they could not arrange for the food to come on board. I then had to arrange our pick-up from OR Tambo to be there later. Will SAA refund us for the delay and no food. Paid R2600 for very bad service.
