My experience with Cathay Pacific started badly and only became more frustrating as the trip continued. It began when my original flight, which I had booked in Business Class, was canceled. Because of the cancellation, I was involuntarily downgraded. I understood that disruptions happen and was willing to accept the downgrade, but the way Cathay Pacific handled the situation afterward was extremely disappointing. The biggest issue was the lack of communication between airports. When I arrived at the next airport, the staff apparently had no record or confirmation that Cathay Pacific had downgraded me. As a result, I was forced to wait approximately an hour and a half while they tried to verify what had happened and determine how to handle my reservation. This happened at around 2:00 a.m., after an exhausting travel day that had already stretched to roughly 22 hours because of delays. At that point, I was completely exhausted and simply wanted to get to my destination and rest. Having to spend another 90 minutes resolving an issue that should have already been documented and communicated internally made an already difficult travel experience considerably worse. What was even more disappointing was the refund process. Because I had paid for Business Class but was involuntarily downgraded, I expected the fare difference to be refunded automatically. Instead, I discovered that I had to contact Cathay Pacific myself to request reimbursement. When I called, I was initially told that my situation did not qualify for a refund and that I would only be offered a travel voucher. I found that response unacceptable. I had paid for Business Class transportation that Cathay Pacific ultimately did not provide. A voucher requiring me to spend money with the airline again is not the same as refunding money for a service that was never delivered. After several heated minutes of discussion, Cathay Pacific finally agreed to refund both tickets. The cancellation itself was understandable. Even the involuntary downgrade was something I was prepared to accept given the circumstances. What made this experience unacceptable was the poor communication between airports, the lengthy middle-of-the-night delay caused by Cathay Pacific’s internal handling of the downgrade, and then having to argue simply to receive a refund for the Business Class service I had paid for but did not receive. For an airline that markets itself as a premium international carrier, I expected significantly better communication, customer service, and handling of an involuntary downgrade. Unfortunately, after this experience, Cathay Pacific has lost my confidence as a customer. This will be the last time I choose to fly with them.

On a peninsula between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, Cape Town has mild winters and warm summers. Winter temperatures range from seven to 12 degrees (C) between June and August. Spring is unpredictable and can have pleasant, sunny days or days when the Cape Doctor, a southeast wind, blows up to 75mph. Summer can be very warm from December to March with temperatures reaching the 40s, but the Cape Doctor keeps it bearable. March to April and early May have the best weather and gentle winds. Rainfall is moderate throughout the year.
The best way to get downtown after your Cape Town flight is by hopping aboard a taxi or bus at the airport. In the city’s centre, the cheapest option to get around is Cape Town’s public bus system. Save some money by buying your tickets ahead of time and in bulk – books of ten tickets are sold. But be careful if you’re on a tight schedule. Posted drop-off and pick-up times are just estimates, and you don’t want to get stranded. If you’d rather take a taxi, you’ll be spending more money, but saving time. If you feel like doing the research, the tourism centre offers shuttle buses to popular tourist attractions such as the Table Mountain Cableway.
Table Mountain towers over the city and can be seen as the backdrop no matter where you are. If you’re planning on hiking instead of taking the cable car, investigate the different routes are available as they cater for very different fitness levels. One of the most popular routes starts at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden – to reach the top from here will take approximately four hours. It’s wise to bring food with you. Though there are restaurants and cafés at the top, the prices are extortionate.
The Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock is home to a weekly organic market called the Neighbours Goods Market. Held every Saturday between (9am-3pm), it has more than 50 vendors selling locally produced goods including vegetables, cheese, meats and cakes and arts and crafts. It’s also the place to meet locals and feel a part of the thriving “creative community”.
An increasingly popular tourist activity is a tour of the townships. You’ll get shown around some of the most desolate areas of the city by a local (which should guarantee safety) and see the side to it that is normally hidden to foreigners. Lots of tours are now available, but try to book one that puts your money back into the township, rather than to a big hotel.
All around the city are vineyards that produce South African wine. A weekend spent exploring the countryside on a wine route in the Western Cape also lets you see some magnificent countryside. Each route is well marked with its own logo that appears on all the roads. Some of the most popular areas are the Constantia, Durbanville, Darling, Stellenbosch and Walker Bay winelands.
When is the best time to fly to Cape Town?
Peak Season:
With its mild climate, Cape Town is popular year-round so cheap flights to Cape Town can be found with advance planning. The peak travel season is from November through January. The area is particularly crowded during school holidays, especially the South African summer vacation period from December 1 through January 15, so plan Cape Town flights and accommodations ahead of time. Easter is another popular vacation time, as are July and August.
Off Season:
