Cape Town, South Africa – London, United Kingdom
After numerous phone calls to various SAA offices, I finally confirmed
that I need to take my bicycle as luggage. However, the quoted price
had me worried that the flight would end up being an expensive
affair. To make matters worse, my essential items alone weighed a
hefty 25kg, and the bicycle added another 25kg to the total.
When I approached the check-in counter, bank card in hand, I braced
myself for the high transport fee. To my surprise, I was informed that
the payment was a significantly smaller, once-off charge. My relief
was immense! Finally, I could relax before the my 12-hour flight to
London.
