number of choices for my Johannesburg to Cape Town flight, but ended up going with FlySafair because of a combination of flight times and prices (and the chance to fly an airline that&#8217;s only been around now less than a month). there have been some upstarts\/startups in this area that failed (1time and Velvet Sky) so they do have their work cut out for them.<\/p>\n<p><iframe

low-cost carrier, they charge for <em>everything<\/em>, but what do you expect for, thanks to introductory pricing, a round trip flight (2 hours in each direction) that costs $89 US including taxes? like many other airlines that &#8220;unbundled&#8221; everything, you get charged to preselect\u00a0a seat and for any checked bags (including heavy carry-ons). in an attempt to avoid some of these feeds, i checked in online the day before.<\/p>\n<p>once online check-in opens 24 hours before departure, you can choose any seat you want, including an exit row, for free &#8212; something that would cost R100 (a little under $9) if you pre-book these &#8220;extra room&#8221; seats. of course, you could always end up on a flight where they&#8217;re all taken by people willing to fork over that money, but there were quite a number available on my flight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/wanderlusty\/files\/2014\/11\/safair1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"

boarding pass from one of the self-service check in kiosks (where no one would ask me to weigh my bag) located around the domestic terminal in Johannesburg. the kiosks, which serve multiple airlines,

it&#8217;s worth checking in early (or prebooking, for a fee) to snag them. apparently, regulations require at least one person on each side of each exit row, so they moved a guy from a couple rows behind me to the first exit row. note that the second exit row does not have recline buttons (so no recline at all), but i did notice the first one did have the buttons but i&#8217;m not sure whether or not you <em>could<\/em>. also, the first exit row has immovable armrests because there are tray tables in them.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"IMG_2788 by Jonathan Khoo, on Flickr\"

to slimline seats, but in any case, the exit row is still your best bet if you want legroom (and are allowed to sit there).<\/p>\n<p>the seat belt sign came off super early, i think probably around the 10,000&#8242; mark. this is great for those of us who have small bladders but beware it&#8217;s an uphill climb back to your seat!<\/p>\n<p>the inflight magazine had a two-page spread about the
