Anybdy in the cabin flown out of George SA recently
Dear SLF
I have an internal flight out of an airport called George in SA connecting onto EK flight at Cape Town to head back up to DXB. Having checked on Skytrax I could not find any info on the place, so thought I would ask in this forum for info from fellow SLF who may have transited recently. I beleive it to be populer with Garden route tourists. I have a 8.00am flight and just wondered what facalities and security transit was like at that time.
Thanks in anticipation

Used it a dozen times of more, last was in Feb rhis year. It's a VERY good regional airport, not big not small. Good facilities, there is a biz/paid for lounge. I'd use GRJ anytime.

Flew into and out of George two weeks back. Small regional airport with about 8 check in desks and half a dozen departure gates (from which you walk to the plane). It should be quiet at that time of the day (it is quite busy later when 3 737s of Mango, Kulula and Safair more or less coincide). Nice coffee shop in the departure lounge; not much landside.

As Toscana says your Wimmpy has been replaced by a coffee shop I am sorry to report to you. Flight was late (SAA) but as you all said nice regional airport if a bit quiet when I was there (Only 9 depp and arrivals per day + Genral aviation). It reminded me a bit of Leeds Bradford circa late 70,s.
Thanks all for your info

The airport is very busy in the school hols. One December flight from GRJ to JNB (on SAA) was on a 747-300 and was pretty full!
