Cheap Air Tickets

Admin — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 20:26:21 +0000

Cheap air tickets from airline companies in South Africa such as Kulula, Mango, One Time and SAA for flights both nationwide and internationally are available to compare online. Flying to most destinations within South Africa is reasonably inexpensive and most journeys are only one or two hours plane ride away. Often special prices and deals are available for people to buy where a limited amount of seats will be offered at low prices for a specified time and passengers wishing to get these specials need to be quick in order to book their seats as they are taken very quickly.

Travel agents selling cheap air tickets will sometimes advertise prices and destinations in the local newspaper if there are a fair amount of bookings available although more often and not these seats are snatched up by travellers simply through word of mouth. If you are someone who travels around South Africa on a frequent basis for weekend getaways or on business then it may be a good idea to visit your local travel agents on a regular basis and get friendly with them. They may even be willing to notify you when certain specials and good prices become available on flights around the country.

Discounted fares to international destinations are in high demand and getting these kind of good deals is somewhat harder to come by than the domestic flights. Airlines will often surprise with discount airfares to London, India, the USA or Europe at the drop of a hat and those who wish to purchase these kinds of deals will need to be able to schedule their trips around the dates that are given. We believe, although are not completely certain, that companies like Kulula, Mango, One Time and SAA offer more frequent deals and cheap air tickets on their domestic flights rather than the International ones.

Plane Crash in Hudson River New York USA

Admin — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 08:05:49 +0000

A plane crash in New York USA which involved a passenger jet crash-landing on the Hudson river has amazingly resulted in all 155 passengers and crew being rescued alive and safe. The heroic captain, Chesley Sullenberger of US Airways Airbus A320 – Flight 1549, did a fantastic job of skilfully managing to land the plane on the river and checking the aircraft twice to make sure everybody got out safely before emerging himself.

What caused the plane crash in the New York Hudson river? Although there is an investigation underway the pilot reported what is termed a ‘double bird strike’ just after taking off and requested to return again before having to crash-land in the near-by river. It seems as though a large flock of birds, possibly geese, collided with the plane and went straight into both engines causing them to shut down.

Pictures of the Hudson River Plane Crash:

One bystander reported that it did not look as though the aircraft was in trouble but was wondering why it was coming in so low, next thing it landed on the water as if it was landing smoothly on a runway at the airport! The next few minutes the doors opened and people started getting out on the wings and rescue boats and ferries with emergency services rushed to the scene. There are some people with injuries probably caused as the plane hit the water but everyone is alive and all passengers and crew got out before the airbus filled with water.

The New York Mayor has praised Chesley Sullenberger and the crew of the flight for the way the near disaster was handled so professionally and smoothly. It’s great to hear of wonderful news like this and how peoples lives have been spared, it’s not every day you will see a plane land on the waters of the Hudson River New York USA!

Hot Air Balloon Rides In South Africa

Hot air balloon rides are available in South Africa for those who are looking to go on a unique kind of safari or just to go riding on short trips and a bit of fun. This experience is obviously not for those who maybe a little weary of heights but if you can get over that then floating through the sky in one of these unique aircraft is truly unforgettable. For those a little concerned about the safety aspect of this type of aircraft, it is known as the safest aviation sport in the world.

One of the reasons many people take hot air balloon rides in South Africa is for game viewing. Because of the wonderful views, watching wild animals from the safety of one of these incredible aircraft is a very rewarding experience and because of the lack of noise and sudden movement of the balloon game can be viewed from above the private reserves without scaring or disturbing the animals. The type of clothing worn when going on one of the trips should be warm enough for a chilly morning but with summer clothes beneath for when the sun comes out and things heat up a little. High heels are not practical for people wanting to go ballooning and should be avoided.

It is advisable to bring a camera, extra films, video camera, extra batteries as this wonderful experience presents many unique and spectacular photo and video opportunities. The height achieved on one of these awesome trips is usually variable and can go up to a kilometre high. Balloons vary in size with the smaller ones accommodating between four and six passengers plus the pilot and the largest ones being able to take up to a total of eighteen passengers plus the pilot. These numbers are estimates and do vary according to combined passenger weights. If you are looking to experience a new adventure and fancy a trip floating through the beautiful blue skies over picturesque landscapes and wild animals then why not give the hot air balloon rides in South Africa a go.

The joy of flight can be experienced in these aeroplanes and they are especially popular for those who have never flown before and are trying their hand for the very first time.

These airoplanes are what we now call today microlights or ultralight planes and many are for sale over the Internet.

These ultralight planes have to go through strict safety regulation tests and certification requirements vary from country to country with the UK being amongst the strictest in this regard.
