Airlink is the airline with the most connections across the African continent. We never had a bad flight to be honest. This time, we had tickets that, unfortunately we could not use atthe time. They were valid for 1 year, but due to health reasons, we couldn't travel within the time frame.
When we finally were able to rebook, we asked for a 7-day extension on the expiry of R14.000 worth of tickets. Customer service was exceptionally inflexible and, no matter what, they would not extend our tickets by 7 days for us to be able to use them. I will forever shout this from the roof tops. This would have been a small thing for them to do. They chose not to.
Please note that Flysaffair has started their first route to Windhoek. For the time being this is only from Capetown, but I am sure this will increase soon. They have much more flexible ticket change policies and are much cheaper to start with.
I don't think we will see much of Airlink in 10 years' time.
