This company is a scam. This airline canceled my flight for August 3rd the night before we were supposed to fly out with NO NOTIFICATION… no email, no text. If we didn’t try checking in the night before there would have been no way of knowing. Instead we had to pay $800 each with a different airline last minute to fly between Johannesburg to Cape Town in SA. The customer service is absolutely terrible. When we called for a refund they said over the phone, no problem, just send us an email and we will work on your refund. I’ve been emailing the customer service representative, Chantel, for the last two hours who will only give me credit. This is illegal and unacceptable. I will be contacting my bank and the local department of transportation. I will not allow this company to steal money and just throw credit for an airline that’s not in service.…

I have tried for 3 days in a row to try and change the date on three flights. Website change booking function doesn't work, and I have waited for 30 mins for a customer service agent to pick up the call. When they did, the line was bad so they hung up! They don't ask for your number so they can return the call, all lines are always busy, no matter which number you dial. Hire more agents Mango! Won't ever use this airline again.…

Can not change, alter or get a refund for flights due in June 21. We can't travel due to the corrupt sa government's dealing of the covid crisis. Will spend my tourist £$ elsewhere.
