1time rocked my plane (in a good way!) on this Cape Town to Johannesburg flight, with providing more space for us and giving our little one a cup to suck as the plane took off - take care of my kids and I'll love you! |

TIP - ask for a seat on the front half of the plane. The MD8x series of aircraft have 2 engines under the tailfin of the aircraft, making sitting at the rear-end of the aircraft a noisy experience (akin to sitting inside a washing machine during its spin cycle). The MDx aircraft allow for boarding at both the front and rear-end.

City Lodge and Avis offer discounted booking on 1time airline's website for passengers who had booked flights.

Other sources of income are sales on board flights (of soft drinks, snacks and alcoholic beverages), car rentals through Avis (1time airline’s car rental partner), City Lodge (1time airline’s accommodation partner), advertising (inter alia, on and in its aircraft and website), selling belly space to cargo agents and catering.
