SAA IS WISHING YOU A WARM AND COZY WINTER

There’s no doubt that the seasons are changing and winter is upon us all. And, while others are snuggling up at home trying to keep warm, South African Airways believes that there’s no better time to pack up your summer wardrobe, get on board and take a break from the cold in one of the many worldwide summer destinations.

Whether you feel like sinking your toes into Brazil’s beach sand, or just soaking up the sun somewhere else in the world, SAA has got you covered. And now, with the SAA’s brand new mobile application, managing your holidays has never been easier. Now you can check–in at anytime from anywhere, simply by using your mobile device. It’s as simple as that.

The new season also brings some exciting news for the team at SAA. On the 19th on April, South African Airways announced Mr. Monwabisi Kalawe as their brand new Chief Executive Officer. With his impressive career background and his determination to drive focus on improving SAA’s governance, this seems to be the beginning of even greater things to come.

Onwards and upwards!

DESTINATION OF THE MONTH – BRAZIL

Make your way to beautiful Brazil this month!

Visit a country that has a little something for each and every one of its visitors all year round. When you’re not relaxing the world–famous beach of Copacabana, you can hit the streets and take in the culture at Carnival. Mix with the care–free, colourful locals, unwind at the 5 star hotels in Rio de Janiero, do a little shopping at their many world–class shopping malls and, when the sun sets, you can hit the town to enjoy its bustling nightlife.

Brazil also caters well for business tourism and is a favoured destination for conventions, congresses and expos, particularly in the city of San Paolo.

So whether you’re going there for business or to escape the cold winter, it’s the perfect getaway for all. Book your holiday with us, and make memories in one of the most striking countries in the world.

WE’RE NOW FLYING TO... MOZAMBIQUE

Situated on the south–eastern coast of Africa, Mozambique has made a name for itself as one of the jewels of Africa. A holiday in Mozambique provides a combination of glorious weather, gorgeous scenery, friendly people and great value for money, becoming an increasingly trendy destination for global travellers.

Whether you’re seeking a sun and sand beach holiday, or sport fishing and off–road adventures, warm and welcoming Mozambique will cater to your every desire.

Why not treat yourself to a mid–year breather by visiting Mozambique, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. Now SAA operates daily flights to Maputo, so there’s no excuse not to get on board and take flight.
