Oh I remember the Mango airplane. I fly from Capetown to Petoria in august. And was surprised about how friendly the staff was aboard. I have flight whit Ryanair here in Europe before and was scared about Mango should be like Ryanair. But thumbs up to mango. I will go back to south Africa soon.

Love your South African video series! As I'm from Durban it's good to see someone enjoying their time here 🇿🇦

Great ViD. Thank you for taking an interest in South Africa.

I flew mango air from Johannesburg to cape town! It was fun. We're flying with emirates to cape town in sept, haven't booked our internal flights to plettenberg bay yet

Once again you surprise me with excellent videos from my country ! Thanks.

Your videos are so simple but I can’t get enough of them...

Great Video! Mango seems like a pretty good option when travelling around South Africa. If you’re thinking about future videos, it would be really interesting to see more round the world style things, this could for example be something like around the world but only on narrow bodies which can be done with flights like Transavia’s AMS-DXB, FlyDubai’s DXB-BKK and UNITED’s Island Hopper. Keep up the brilliant videos and happy new year!

I saw that airlines when I was in South Africa...very colourful...as many others..cheers Noel

I simply love South Africa

Hi from Durban! Stumbled on your channel this week. I'm visiting family in Durban and work in Kazakhstan so it was really interesting seeing your South African and Kazakhstan videos. It was especially cool seeing your review of scat airline, I use them sometimes to get to Petropavl in the North. There is a tiny airport there, more like just a runway, with two flights a week to Astana. I usually have to take a six to 11 hour train so it's nice to sometimes have the option to fly. Glad you didn't take Bek air while you were there though!

I love this plane's color, It's my favorite. I wanna fly on one!

Thanks for another great flight Noel and yes the South African landscape from above reminds me very much of Australia in parts (which much of it burnt to the ground at the moment ) Seemed like a reasonable flight with Mango (strange name ) Well done as always mate !! And great views !!

Thank god you are alive my friend. God bless you my friend

Thank You for the review

Reminds me of Southwest.. when it started they were super friendly and cheapest tickets.

Good video 👍 like the 🛩 info

Back in the 70s and early 80s we had the flying colors of Braniff that painted their planes in all colors including bright orange. There were no low cost or no frills airlines back then except for Southwest which served free drinks including alcohol on all flights. It was pretty much just an all Texas airline back then.

I flew BA 787 direct to heathrow from Durban last week. Aircraft was dirty but the flight was amazing!! Day flight over Africa is a must!!

Durban King Shaka Airport mostly offer domestic flights,the only major carriers that fly to other continents other than Africa from Durban are Qatar, Emirates, British Airways and Turkish Airlines (which I flew 2 weeks ago),all fly to their respective hubs.

Biltong and some Mango juice, i could go for both right about now. Great video Noel!

Cool livery! Surprised BA flies 737s there!

Another great video

This is a good example of a fun channel a person can stumble into while browsing KZread. The screaming baby in business class video was captivating, and posed a legitimate question as well.

I flew with mango too in 2015. I really enjoyed it. Its a good budget airline

You were right the plan is very colorful

Flew Mango last July during my holiday in SA, on the same route, but the inbound flight(CPT-DUR). Overall I was really disappointed with Mango, the crew was anything but nice, I really did not get a nice welcome feeling and that not-getting-a- welcome-feeling already started during check-in. Plane was dirty and we didn’t get a drink/snack service for no reason. But happy to see your flight was good and enjoyable, now I got to see the service and hospitality I could have got for the price we paid😅

It's Adam Air reborn (the livery that is)

As always Noel ur the best at going to places

Love this !! They put most other supposedly full service airlines to shame !!

Knowing that currently i cant fly your videos make me feel so much betterv

Good to see a South African flight report. With such a favourable exchange rate, it's no wonder you found the on-board meals cheap! For locals, the cost of on-board meals is quite high so better to purchase before the flight. Unfortunately Mango has a terrible on-time record so if using this airline, be prepared for possible delays, particularly if heading towards a connecting flight.

Great video as always Noel. As a SA resident who has to travel to Cape Town from Johannesburg quite often, I always choose Safair over the other carriers. Firstly they are the most on time airline in SA - my colleagues and I have a running joke where upon arrival at airports, we check which planes are delayed / cancelled and Mango is almost always the only airline that consistently has delays or cancellations. Secondly, I find that Safair experience from booking, check-in and boarding to be step above the competition.

Oh, look. Fanta EDIT: Oh my god there's actually a Fanta ad! I just thought the plane looked like a can of orange soda

Good video

And as I said on your insta - love the shiny engines :)

New subbie here from SA and I am so sad"Rach" wasn't on this trip,I am so mad about How cute y'all are

Tip dont buy the biltong on the aircraft, go to a butchery. You will get a 1/4 kg for that price.

Wimpy at 1.50, just looked it up. There's 7 times more branches in South Africa than the country they started in (UK). Rare over here now.

I was going to fly with Mango from Durban to Cape Town.

The pain with mango is that they will charge you for excess luggage even if you are 10 grams overweight.

Anyone else lost concentration to what Noel said at the gate due to the car advert behind him?

Yeah… the airline has most likely been liquidated and all accents are most likely to be sold to other South African airlines that operate that operate the 737-800.

We don't call it plains in South Africa. You flew over the Drakensberge, Karoo and the Boland. Only parts of the Karoo over which you flew is actually flat, the rest has a lot of hills and mountains.

Nice

You should fly air Canada from YYZ to MUC. Im flying it later this year, alone and im kind of scared. I’d love to have a review of it before I actually go. It would be my first time flying alone internationally.
