Clue to flysaa.com
18 Mar 2005
Having just opined that I'd try stick to 1time (and made the mistake of trying to book for the weekend after the Argus), the full-booked flights from 1time have forced me to use FlySAA, South African Airways' online store.
Firstly, I must say that the level of additional complexity on FlySAA (none of which I needed) being developed such that it works in FireFox impresses me (since South African companies are generally clueless about anything other than IE and I just have low expectations now). The one feature I did use was the seat booking. Very useful. Not worth the extra few hundred rands per flight that it is more than 1time, though...
But FlySAA, please realise that '-' is a valid character in people's names. Especially surnames of British origin (like, say, Blakey-Milner). And similarly, that I am quite sure that I have a '-' character in my name on my credit card! But somehow it seems removing it hasn't caused the transaction to fail, so they don't have a rabid me needing to tear into someone...
