    Malaysian Airlines have twice weekly flights between Buenos Aires to Cape Town ( 7 hours over night ) and return ( nine hours and during the day )..
    Malaysian hospitality and wonderful service.
    When you arrive at CPT, the immigration and customs are truly a breeze and you come out clutching your bags or wheeling your luggage. There is a good tourism office from where you could get information about anything to do with cape town but usually our needs are about a place to stay..
    also bank with ATM machine and transportation companies to town

    South African Airways is the national carrier for South Africa. While they do offer great service for connections around the world, their service on their aircraft is not the greatest. I was sat in one of the upper rows of their 747 jet, right next to the toilet. Not the greatest of seats to have. Also there is so little space for any hand luggage up there that I had to take my bags to business class and store them there--apparently this is a common practice. Even though I was on the aisle and had the potential to get bumped or accidentally stepped on--it happened with such frequency that I began to ignore it, which is a big deal on a 12 hour flight. The food was airline food but they did ask what type of wine I would like--it was a given with the meal. Their entertainment selection was quite good as well and it gave the passenger any option they wanted if they wanted to watch a movie, listen to music, or a tv program they could stop and restart at any time.

    I would use them again but I think I would go for the upgrade. I was lucky enough to get an exit row on the way back from Cape Town because the ticket agent realized that being my height (6'4") I could be more comfortable there. Bless her!! One thing to keep in mind is that the non-stop London-Cape Town flight is usually very full both ways.

    If you are hanging around the Cape Town International airport and think you forgot a gift for that special someone--not to worry. There are some shops that incorporate all your last minute needs from biltong, wine, souveniers to those "someone from Cape Town loves me" t-shirts. There are also a few restaurants to visit also.

    There is several different ways to get to Cape Town, I guess we took the "fast way"... We jumped on South African Airways from NYC/ JFK airport.....it's a very, very long flight....it's 8 hours to Dakar, Senegal where it stops for about 1 1/2 hour as some passengers get on and off and the crew changes...and then another 8 hours to Johanesburg....and then we switched terminal and got on a domestic flight to Cape Town which was only 2 hours......
    I must say the service was very good on these flights...the entertainment system on the seat in front of you has some 15 different movies to choose from. Also it has some 15 different games, and various other tv shows and music selections.
    The other way of getting there is via Europe....such as London, Frankfurt, or Paris....but it's still 11 hours....or you could go thru South America....Buenos Aires, and San Paulo have flights to South Africa....they're about 9 to 10 hours also....so to make a long story short there isn't a short cut in getting to South Africa....just bring yourself a good book, a neck pillow, your IPOD or computer with an extra battery, and most importanly YOUR PATIENCE !!!!!!

  • Well , this tip is mainly for those who travel from or near Argentina (Chile, Uruguay). This is the cheapest way to travel to South Africa. The flight was very comfortable, and the plane huge, it travels just twice a week, so the tickets are not so easy to get, book in advance.

    From Johanesbourg, there is a brand new airline company called Kulula.com, and the roundtrip is very cheap!
    The best is to rent a car, as there are many things to see outside the center...and the prices are really not expensive

  • From North America the best way is by air via London, New York or Miami.
    Public transportation is not as good as in North America therefore, the best way to get around Cape Town would be to rent a car, or by taxi.
