History 101

Book Cover

World's worst trip?

Bad choice of destination? Poor accommodations?

No amenities? Unfriendly people?

Our miserable unwilling traveler had, however, just one good thing.

An enormous stomach for the unexpected.

And so it was, he ended up making the most famous trip in human history.

Johannesburg/OR Tambo Airport (JNB) Luggage Delays

Luggage handling on all South African Airways flights arriving at OR Tambo International Airport for onward connecting flights has recently experienced severe delays. This has resulted in connecting flights leaving without the guests’ luggage on board. Guests have, in most cases, only received their luggage 24-48 hours after arrival at their final destination with some guests not receiving their luggage at all.

It is strongly advised that all guests travelling on South African Airways through Johannesburg should check-in their luggage as far as Johannesburg, take possession of their luggage in Johannesburg and then rebook it onto their connecting flight.  In this way they can ensure their luggage arrives at their final destination in a timely manner. This situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future so we would also recommend allowing for greater connection times – at least 3 hours.
