Yoh, there is a time and a place to lose your shit, and it is definitely NOT when you are an adult and in public overseas, and everyone will find out you’re South African. We are trying to look good.
Indonesian authorities are doing a slow but thorough investigation of the Air Asia crash. Whilst they can’t divulge in too much info, they have given us one important piece of news.
2014 was not a very good year for air travel, so you can choose from these lists of airlines for your next holiday. (We suggest not using Malaysian Airlines or Air Asia for the next little while…)
Us South Africans, we love to travel. My personal favourite is the flight between ORT and Nelspruit. It is quick and easy. This new flight in Europe takes the cake though.
Imagine booking an around the world trip that is non-refundable and name-unchangeable. What do you even do? Why, you find a way to make it work, of course.
I am not the best of flyers (even though I have been in planes since I was a fetus), so all my flights generally start with a handful of Xanax and a glass of Chardonnay, because I don’t want to feel any turbulence.
Stupid people make me feel clever on days like this (end of year, late night last night and the three nights before and only one cup of coffee). Please, keep ’em coming.
All I want for Christmas is a flying car… and, oddly, the timing could not be more perfect for me, because there is now a flying car that actually exists.
It’s going to take a long time before poor old Malaysia Airlines is back on track and out of its big black hole of despair. Maybe they should just offer free flights…
Ah, travel. I love it. I am so excited to share a confined space with 300 strangers from all over the world, who may or may not have showered or taken a vitamin in the past week. Fun times.
Truly, this guy is a genius. He must have had one hell of a Lego set when he was growing up. He also has five kids, so… you know… 15 year plan..?
Unless you’re flying business class and will actually be asleep should something bad happen during your flight, flying can be traumatic. So imagine being stuck up in cattle class and you see a plane coming right at you.
A pilot flying an Aero Commander 500, who was intending to fly to Columbus, Ohio, reported engine trouble shortly after taking off. Then things went horribly wrong…
I think we all expected science to have progressed a bit further now, giving us flying cars and carpets and teleportation. It hasn’t, just yet, but here is a hover board!
A lot of planning goes in to landing something on a moving object. Now picture it being 317 million miles away, and doing it by remote. Anyway, they nailed it.
Bono must have thought he was on a new series of Punked when they found out that half of his jet and falling off during the flight. #funtimes
The French… always trying weird things. If they’re not eating frog’s legs and garlicky garden snails, they’re flying around on rocketbikes.
Two cray-cray daredevils lived out my worst nightmare and walked across Vic Falls on what I would categorise as a piece of string.
There is much mystery and speculation about what happened to Amelia Earhart on her flight around the world. We may be close to the answer.
The fact that Tony Hawk has been retired from skateboarding competitions 15 years ago makes me feel about 100 years old.
An actual rocket destined for space exploded yesterday. Not to worry though, there were no dogs or monkeys on board. Just loads and loads of space-food.
See the world through the eyes of an eagle… Drones are fast becoming the way to see into your neighbour’s neighbour’s backyard. Alternatively, you can use them to see the world.
They could cut the duration of flights by five minutes if they just assumed everyone knew how to use the oxygen masks. But you know what they say about assumption.
It seemed like a logical idea, because barn owls love to eat rats. And what would make barn owls really happy? A rat infestation!
Flying these days is super fun. You’re either worrying about catching a deadly disease or falling out of the sky. Fun times…
Take to the skies this summer with uberCHOPPER. You absolutely will not regret showing off the Mother City to your friends this way.
We can forget about a world invasion by zombies… right now we’re just trying to deal with Ebola, which has wiped out over 4 000 people.
As South Africans we are used to seeing the likes of chickens/cows/goats/horses/trailers/caravans being in or attached to cars. But this takes it up a notch.
This sounds like a fun airline. Whether it stays in the air or not is another question, but at least most men will be happy, either way, should the hostesses be clad in lingerie.
People can really be silly sometimes. And sometimes we really get a kick (no pun intended) out of doing stupid things. Often we’re caught up in the moment, and can only look back on what we’ve done and shake our heads.
