We were on Mustang Sally outbound and departed on time (give or take 10minutes) with a very long taxi out. We had V-port, so were happy! Dinner was served within 90 minutes of take off and cabin lights were dimmed shortly after. Only complaint was the uncomfortably hot cabin (we were at the 'back of the bus' 59 & 60 HJK) and could not sleep - even the cabin crew were complaining of the heat! Arrived in Sunny Cape Town just after 7am and were off quickly, despite being at the back. Immigration was slow and took us an hour to get through. Luggage was out when we got to the carousel and we were in the hire car and off to the winelands by 9am..
Return flight was on Birthday Girl and only about 90% full (shame as we were hoping to get offloaded! [:I]) This flight was long, as it leaves CPT at 0910 and therefore has no natural sleep time. Breakfast was served (hot) and there was only an ineddible ham roll until dinner 10 hrs into the flight. CRew were great though and we had v-port to keep us entertained. Arrival into LHR early and bags were off in good time.
Overall great flights, good service, dissappointing food but an amazing holiday - I'd recommend South Africa to everyone!
