Service

I'm a customer for [URL Removed] and I have always preferred it over other airlines. But my last 2 flights I was really disappointed.<br> My family have hinted to me a couple of times about the flight delays fro Kulula. Personally i didn't take it to heart even though I have experienced it a couple of times. On 19 Dec I took a flight to Durban from Lanseria, it was late and I ignored it. Coming back I booked a flight for 1 January 2016. Few days later I received SMS saying the flight was cancelled and I was put on another flight. Unfortunately I couldn't make that flight so I had to change the date to 4 Jan 2016 (21:50). I was traveling with 5 year old and 1 year old. Got SMS that flight was delayed and it will leave at 22:30. I checked in and towards time for boarding another SMS came in saying that the flight will be at 23:00. Irritated but had no choice, kids were getting restless as well considering that it meant we were going to be at Lanseria after 00:00.<br> Plane came after 23:00 and we couldn't board the plane because if some system error. Took some time before eventually taking off. <br> Disappointed customer.
