Rating 5/5 : "Adventurous"

Rating 5/5 : "I travelled with my family and we were travelling with an infant. FlySafair unlike other airlines when they calculated my luggage they combined the size of my luggage with my baby's luggage. They never said that the baby's luggage is weighed separately and it is too heavy I have to reduce the luggage weight or pay for it. That was the best service ever when compared to hoe I was treated when it came to luggage with other airlines when we travel with our children."
