Flying in Southern Africa

"Flying in Asia is nowhere near as dangerous as flying in Russia or Africa south of the Sahara

But look at the airline and look at the airports- somewhere remote in Indonesia Nepal or PNG flown by a low cost airline is certainly not as safe as a major airline fling into Bangkok or HK

But teh risk is very low really"

My experience of flying in Southern Africa is that they can be blase regarding safety.

On a flight form Windhoek to Jo'burg (on an almost empty aircraft) my friend and I laid out across the seats to sleep. We wakened when the aircraft landed!!!!! Flight attendants didn't waken us to sit up and put seatbelts on
