Voice of Travelers to Ndola

South African Airways to Ndola is great

Hello, my name is Yemayah from Nairobi. I want to commend South African Airways for excellent ticket and flight service. I booked a ticket to Ndola with South African Airways. Getting a ticket from their platform was easy and hassle-free. Plus, the ticket price was affordable. Even the flight service was great. I was comfortable the whole trip, I had enough seat space. The cabin crew were very amiable and responsive. It was easy to request for drinks and food. The in-flight food was good, so was the in-flight entertainment. Definitely going to book a ticket back to Nairobi with them.

Hi, I am Nicole from London, United Kingdom. My friends and I backpacked across Zambia. Among all our stops, Ndola was my personal favorite.
