Launching at the end of September ahead of the peak summer season, Etihad is hoping to attract a share of the expat market in Abu Dhabi, as well as the obvious European tourist trade and World Cup visitors. I flew the airline a year or so back and was extremely impressed. As with all Middle Eastern carriers the planes are brand-spanking-new, service is exceptional and on-board comfort is some of the best of all the (many!) airlines I've flown recently. The Cape Town leg will be an extension of the Johannesburg route; stopping off in Joburg for an hour or two to allow passengers to disembark, before continuing on to Cape Town. More airlines = more ways to explore the world. What's not to love! |
